Another year and another groundbreaking smartphone released by Vivo. After the first NEX line-up and its pop-up cameras, the Chinese giant owned by BBK Electronics just came up with an innovative smartphone once again: the NEX 3 5G. It is not just a flagship smartphone powered by a flagship chipset like the Chinese handsets focused on the quality-price ratio but has a lot of unique features that aim to revolutionize the smartphone industry.

Here, you will find the top 10 innovative features of Vivo NEX 3 5G that sets it apart from its competitors

Vivo NEX 3 5G has a Waterfall display with special effects

Vivo NEX 3 5G is the world’s first smartphone to feature a Waterfall display. In case you have never heard about it, it is an extremely curved display on both the sides and curves close to an angle of 90 degrees. According to the company, this display reaches a screen-to-body ratio of 99.6 percent. The company invested 200 million in R&D to bring it to reality and bundles the screen with a special screen protector making it durable as well. The curved part of the display can also be used for special effects (like the sides can light up while playing music).

No physical keys

The Waterfall display replaces physical keys with Touch Sense technology. There is also a pressure sensor array composed of 7 sensors aided by a pressure algorithm and a feature called X-Axis Haptic which provides a crisp and comfortable vibration for a lot of activities, including Touch Sense keys.

Better vibration feedback

The X-Axis Haptic feature found on the Vivo NEX 3 5G is also able to guarantee better vibration feedback than other smartphones. So it gives a premium immersive user experience during gaming sessions and advanced feedback while typing.

64MP flagship with best-in-class hardware

Vivo NEX 3 5G is the world’s first flagship to feature a camera with a 64 MP resolution. It features the recently-announced Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor which debuted on the Realme XT and the Redmi Note 8 Pro by Xiaomi. The sensor is supported by a secondary 13 MP ultrawide lens and another 13 MP telephoto sensor.

Innovative Portrait feature for amazing selfies

Vivo NEX 3 5G is not just a great camera phone, but also a selfie master. Thanks to an awesome 16 MP pop-up camera which comes out through a motorized mechanism and Hyper HDR feature, it is able to maximize the dynamic range of selfies by optimizing the subject depending on the photo background.

Front-facing LED flash

Vivo NEX 3 5G is one of the few flagships to be equipped with a front-facing LED flash. It allows shooting clear selfies even in low light conditions, although LED flash may not be the ideal way to get the best shot from its front shooter. Both the front camera and the LED flash are included in the pop-up mechanism.

Big battery with a very fast charging technology

One of the elements which make Vivo NEX 3 5G a complete flagship is its huge 4500 mAh which will guarantee a lot of hours of intensive usage on a single charge. The amazing battery can be recharged through a very fast charging technology boasting 45W power, the same one from the Vivo iQOO Pro.

Hi-Fi DAC

If you choose the Vivo NEX 3 5G, you will also get an immersive audio experience thanks to the integrated Hi-Fi DAC (AK4377AECB).

5G support

As the name suggests, Vivo NEX 3 5G supports 5G connectivity thanks to the Snapdragon X50 modem integrated inside the Snapdragon 855+ chipset. It is still a single-mode modem, unlike the Huawei Mate 30 series which will be launched later this week. But it is still able to take advantage of 5G speeds giving an edge over other 4G models.

3.5 mm headphone jack

Despite boasting all the amazing features mentioned above and a pretty interesting price tag for the Chinese market, the Vivo NEX 3 5G still retains a 3.5 mm audio jack. So you can connect traditional headphones without needing an additional adapter and without resorting to the USB-C port.

Supports Call Screening by Assistant

The Vivo NEX 3 5G also comes with a call screening feature very similar to the Google assistant. It can screen calls for you in the background, attend phone calls, and make a conversation, all on its own. The assistant is smart and designed to mimic gestures like pauses and laughs to make it sound human-like.

Overall, with top-end specs, 5G, extremely high screen to body ratio, and smart features like call screening, the Vivo NEX 3 5G takes smartphones to a whole new level.
