Vivo is expected to launch a successor to the flagship Nex smartphone this year. A recent leak tips the device to go by the name Vivo NEX 3. The leak shared by popular tipster Ice Universe also includes the glass panel of the device.

Vivo will likely be skipping the Nex 2 moniker in favour of Nex 3 since this is the third generation model after the NEX Dual Display. That is just a wild guess anyway.

What should interest you must is definitely the curved glass panel. The curvature looks way pronounced than what we have seen on previous smartphones. Even Samsung who is known for curved AMOLED screens doesn’t have any model that is as curved as the alleged Nex 3 panel. With the glass panel wrapping around the entire device on the front and back, there is no doubt the device will utilise a full-screen notch-less design and the leakster confirms this. The Nex models are known for their bezel-less display. So, expect an extremely bezel-less design that will likely surpass those of previous iterations.

We don’t have an idea when the Vivo NEX 3 will be released but we expect the device to hit the market soon, going by the frequency of leaks.

A mysterious Vivo smartphone that bears V1922A model number has received certification from the 3C authority of China. The charger that accompanies the phone is equipped with support for up to 44W fast charging. Rumors have it that it could be Vivo NEX 2 smartphone.

The 3C listing of the Vivo V1922A only shows V3030A-CN charger that accompanies supports up to 5V/2A, 9V/2A, 11V/3A and 11V/4A charging. Speaking of the charger, it is the same one that it is available with iQOO gaming smartphone from Vivo that was announced earlier this year. While Vivo’s SD855 chipset powered iQOO gaming phone had carried support for 44W fast charging, a Vivo branded is yet to arrive with the same rapid charging technology. Hence, there is a possibility that the Vivo V1922A could be a Vivo branded flagship smartphone. It is being speculated it could be the successor of the Vivo NEX phone from last year.

Recent reports have revealed that the Vivo NEX 2 flagship phone that is scheduled to go official on Dec. 12 will be featuring 10 GB of RAM. Today, a Vivo smartphone with model number V1821A has surfaced on Geekbench. It seems to be the Vivo NEX 2 dual screen smartphone that is scheduled to go official next week.

Vivo is gearing up to launch its upcoming experimental smartphone — Vivo NEX 2, which seems like a successor of the Vivo NEX launched earlier this year featuring an elevating front-facing camera.

Earlier, it was reported that the Chinese company could launch the Vivo NEX 2 smartphone on 11th December. Now, the company has finally revealed that the phone will be launched in China on 12th December.

The Vivo NEX 2 will be featuring dual displays. It will miss out on the elevating front-facing camera as the triple rear camera setup will also act as a front-facing camera, thanks to a secondary display on the back side. The official renders of the smartphone released by the Chinese company also confirms this design.

However, do note that Vivo won’t be the first smartphone manufacturer to feature dual displays and rear camera setup also doubling as front-facing camera sensors as ZTE has already launched Nubia X with such design. But it will be interesting to see Vivo’s take on this type of design.

Thanks to the lack of camera sensors on the front side of the smartphone, the device will come with a high screen-to-body ratio and ultra-thin bezels surrounding the display. On the back side, below the secondary screen, there’s a Vivo branding logo.

There’s an illuminated RGB Lunar Ring at the topside of the rear screen. Half portion of the Lunar Ring is on the upper bezel of the rear screen while the other half is placed under the display. Rumours suggests that the Lunar Ring will glow when the phone receives any notifications. It may also function as additional LED flash for the camera.

While the company has not yet revealed the phone’s specifications, the phone has passed through certifications, which reveal that the device will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 octa-core flagship chipset and will have up to 10GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

It is speculated that the front side display could be of 6.59-inch whereas the rear display could be 5.5-inch. The phone is expected to come with an in-display fingerprint sensor, which will make it the first smartphone with dual display to have an under-display fingerprint scanner.

Vivo NEX that was announced in June was an astonishing flagship phone that offered a very high screen space through its large-sized notch-less display.

The alleged Vivo NEX 2 shows that it is equipped an in-screen fingerprint reader. The phone also features a triple camera setup on the rear, but it is not clearly shown in the video.
