Vivo’s NEX lineup of smartphones has been special for the company as it launches innovative devices under this series. Vivo NEX was the world’s first phone to have a pop-up camera while Vivo NEX 2 came with two displays.
Now, the company is gearing up to launch its next-generation Vivo NEX series smartphone, dubbed as Vivo NEX 3. Li Xiang, Product Manager at Vivo has already teased a few features of the upcoming phone and now some of the key specifications of this upcoming smartphone have been leaked online.
Additionally, as expected, the company has today officially confirmed that the Vivo NEX 3 5G smartphone will be launched in China next month but no date has been specified. Making the announcement on Weibo, the company posted an image with a caption that reads: “Here it comes! #5G Vivo NEX 3 releasing in September!”
Another image, detailing key specs of the upcoming smartphone has leaked online, which reveals that the Vivo NEX 3 5G will come with an impressive 99.6 percent screen-to-body ratio. Offering such high screen-to-body ratio is possible because the company has adopted a Waterfall Screen design.
Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus octa-core processor which was launched recently as an upgrade over the Snapdragon 855 flagship octa-core chipset.
As per the leak, the device will be featuring a 64 MP primary camera sensor on the back in a triple-camera setup. Coming to the front-facing camera, since there’s no notch on top of the display, we expect the NEX 3 to come with a pop-up camera, similar to the Vivo NEX. There are reports hinting at in-display camera sensor but it seems unlikely.
It is said that the smartphone will also come with a headphone jack unlike other flagships in the market today. Further, the phone is also expected to come with 44W fast charging support. While the company has not yet revealed the launch date, we expect the smartphone to get launched around mid-September.
