In this extremely short news, vivo is proud to announce another market share result in the Q3 of 2018. This time around, a new research on the 2018 Q3 Asia market share shows that vivo is once again one of the top 5 smartphone brands, scoring a 15% market share. Although they are 1% behind OPPO, vivo is tied together with Huawei and stands above Xiaomi and Samsung.

So here's a fun fact - did you know that China's Smartphone Market rate has been dropping? This came from China's third-quarter Smartphone Market results by SANOFI, a large market research organization stating that the overall sales are decreasing significantly as of September 2018 with just 35 million smartphones. It sounds crazy, 35 million is a lot but compared to September 2017, it has dropped 7.7% which is huge.

At this moment, vivo NEX is only one of the few devices that has a pure fullview display. It certainly impressed many consumers and media alike on the sturdy pop-up camera, and this time around the company is not done with it yet, as they have just recently unveiled a brand new colour model called the Purple Star Trail.

As of today, the implementation of SST in Malaysia is in motion with tax rates up to 10%, increasing prices of various goods locally. In reaction to that, Vivo has announced that the prices of all their smartphones will not be affected by SST and it will remain at their original original.

So, the vivo NEX - finally a flagship tier smartphone that has landed in the Malaysia market for just RM2799 and you might heard and seen some promotion about the camera it carries, being able to produce quality photos and no, we're not talking about the special Elevating 8MP Front Camera, but its dual rear camera setup behind.

So during vivo Malaysia's presentation on the vivo NEX, they showed a clip which I thought was really good and it addresses everyone's question - is the pop-up camera good? And what happens if it gets busted? Well, wonder no more because the pop-up front camera is really sturdy!

By now, you should know that the vivo NEX was just announced officially yesterday for the price of RM2799. Not too bad for a flagship and from today onwards until 27 July 2018, you can now pre-order this unique smartphone at any Vivo concept stores, authorised dealers and partners nationwide.

So, the vivo NEX actually has been around for quite a while now but the full specifications aren't really black and white. But anyhow, we finally got the full plate served from vivo Malaysia and as to how the speculation whispered, the NEX is priced at RM2799 only and will be available for pre-order starting today at every vivo concept stores, authorised resellers, as well as their online store at their own website, Lazada, Shopee and 11street. 

Well, looks like someone got way too excited about the vivo NEX. Officially scheduled to launch on next Monday (23 July 2018), the RM2799 was first leaked online by DirectD a few hours ago but it seems that the price has already disappeared. But what comes online stays online, so somewhere else in Malaysia, a vivo store in AEON Mall Kuching also leaked out the price with a pre-order form. 

So as you can notice, vivo Malaysia has been hyping up the NEX phone as much as possible. We have already told you about the notch-less 6.59-inch Ultra FullView display, the adorable pop-up front camera, the third generation in-display fingerprint and a powerful performance score in AnTuTu. But do you know where does the sound come from? Hint - It's not just from the bottom.
