Vivo was one of the smartphone manufacturers who shook the industry last year with its array of amazing products. Little wonder the company still ranks among the top 5 OEMs in terms of phone shipment. One of the spectacular smartphones we saw from its stable was the Vivo NEX 3. The model is about getting a new variant this year and the device had earlier been certified by China’s TENAA. The NEX 3 has now been certified by China’s CCC (3C).

The device is listed with the model number V1950A which is the same model number it hit TENAA with. The 3C listing doesn’t reveal much apart from the charging properties. The 3C certification information shows that the upgraded NEX 3 is equipped with a charger model V3030A-CN with an output power of 55W (11V / 5A). This is an upgrade over last year’s NEX 3 which had a 44W fast charger.

The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 865 SoC and sports a 6.89-inch display with a resolution of 2256 x 1080pixels. Most spectacular, the phone boasts of a mammoth 99.6% immersive screen ratio which happens to be the highest any OEM has been able to expand to on a commercial device.

The NEX 3 comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB storage options. For photography, there is a 16MP camera at the front. On the other hand, the device features a triple rear camera setup comprised of a 64 MP main cameras + 13 MP super wide-angle/macro + 13 MP telephoto lens. It gets its light from a 4500mAh which supports 44W ultra-fast flash charge.

Vivo launched its innovative flagship, the Vivo NEX 3 in China back in September 2019. The phone came with a unique waterfall display with a curve that extends to both sides. After its China launch, the NEX 3 is making its way to Europe, with the first stop at Ukraine. The NEX 3 is up for pre-order at UAH17,999 ($715) right now and will start shipping in November.

The NEX 3 will be sold via Allo and Citrus in Ukraine, however, only Allo is offering the device at the above mentioned (UAH17,999) discounted price tag. If you are pre-ordering from Citrus, the NEX 3 will cost you UAH19,999 ($794) without the discount. Both third party retailers will start shipping the device from November 7.

This pricing is for the 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM variant, which is surprisingly close to its pricing in China. At its Chinese launch, the same variant was priced at 4998 yuan (~$709). So customers in Ukraine can get the device for almost the same price as in China. Note that this is the 4G variant and does not support 5G.

This Vivo NEX 3 Ukraine launch comes right after it was announced in Taiwan. Interestingly, Taiwan gets the 5G variant since the new generation network will launch very soon in the country.

A lot of innovative flagships hitten the shelves in 2019, including several smartphones with incredibly high performance. A few hours ago, Asus ROG Phone II made its official debut in the Indian market. We can definitely consider it the most amazing gaming smartphone in the market, and not only for the price. A few days ago, another flagship with some features never seen before was officially announced: the Vivo NEX 3. Given that even this handset will hit the market soon, we decided to compare the NEX 3 and the Asus ROG Phone II alongside one of the most popular and performing flagships of the Indian market in 2019: the OnePlus 7 Pro. If you are looking for a new high-end device they are all among the best Chinese options. Here, you should begin understanding which one is the best for you.

Asus ROG Phone II vs OnePlus 7 Pro vs Vivo NEX 3

Design

When it comes to smartphones aesthetics, people usually search for elegance and innovation. And the device which provides both these elements here is the Vivo NEX 3. It comes with a Waterfall display boasting extremely curved borders, and it even sports a screen-to-body ratio very close to 100 percent. Further, it has a pop-up front camera department. OnePlus 7 Pro is another device with an innovative form factor, a high screen-to-body ratio, and a pop-up camera, but it lacks the Waterfall display so it is less impressive. Asus ROG Phone II has a gaming-centric design with RGB lights, air triggers, and the support to external accessories, but it is not an elegant or attractive phone for a normal user.

Display

If you need the best display in terms of video quality, then you should undoubtedly go for the OnePlus 7 Pro. First of all, it provides a higher level of detail thanks to its 2K resolution. Further, it has the HDR10+ technology improving the color reproduction, as well as a high 90 Hz refresh ratio. While the OnePlus 7 Pro offers the best quality, Asus ROG Phone 2 has the best display for gamers as it comes with a 120 Hz refresh ratio and 240 Hz touch sensing, as well as loud stereo speakers with DTS Headphone X.

Specs & Software

The most powerful and well-optimized hardware department belongs to the Asus ROG Phone II which boasts the Snapdragon 855+ chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage. It is also the only which allows switching between a stock Android user interface and a custom user interface. The ROG Phone 2 is even equipped with a more advanced cooling system ensuring the best performance even in long gaming sessions. Vivo NEX 3 has a Snapdragon 855+ chipset as well, but the OnePlus 7 Pro has way better memory configurations reaching 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, while Vivo NEX 3 stops at 8/128 GB.

Camera

The rear cameras of the OnePlus 7 Pro are the most convincing ones. They include two optically-stabilized sensors including a high-end 48 MP main lens, a secondary telephoto lens, and a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. Vivo NEX 3 takes the second place in the top camera phones ranking with its 64 MP main sensor paired with two 13 MP additional sensors. It is the only to offer a front-facing LED flash. Asus ROG Phone II has an average dual camera.

Battery

You just need to see the battery capacity in order to understand which phone lasts more on a single charge: Asus ROG Phone II is the winner thanks to its monster 6000 mAh battery which also supports reverse charging.

Price

OnePlus 7 Pro costs Rs. 48,999 (about €629/$691) in India, Asus ROG Phone II starts from Rs. 37,999 ($536/€488), and Vivo NEX 3 is priced at $636/$578. Overall, we believe Asus ROG Phone 2 is the best device for advanced users due to its bigger battery and higher performance, but it has that gaming-centric design which is not suitable for everyone. OnePlus 7 Pro offers a better display quality and cameras, so it is better for a lot of “normal” users.

The post Vivo NEX 3 and NEX 3 5G full specifications leaked ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo NEX 3 is expected to get official in the coming month. Ahead of the launch, the Chinese firm has already released a teaser video of the phone. Now, an unboxing video of the NEX 3 has been shared on YouTube by Arun Maini who runs the Mrwhosetheboss YouTube channel. The video does not reveal any specifications of the phone but does give a good look at the much anticipated NEX 3 smartphone.

Like the predecessor NEX models, the NEX 3 can be seen sporting a notch-less display with ultra-thin bezels around it. What’s striking about the display is that it is extremely curved towards the edges. When viewed from sides, the ‘waterfall’ display shows a lot of screen area than other phones with curved screens. Hence, it seems to offer nearly 100 percent screen-to-body ratio. An earpiece seems to be present at the edge of the top bezel of the NEX 3.

There are no physical buttons on the Vivo NEX 3. The ridged area on the right edge of the phone with haptic feedback can be used for accessing volume up, power and volume down keys. There is a pop-up camera module on the top edge of the device. The module is wide, and it seems to be housing two front-facing cameras with an LED flash. The same edge also features a 3.5mm audio jack, a microphone and a secondary power button. The bottom edge of the smartphone has an external speaker, another microphone and a USB-C port.

The backside of the Vivo NEX 3 features a circular camera housing three camera sensors. Below it is an LED flash. The YouTuber did not reveal any details on the configurations of the camera sensors. He described the camera system of the NEX 3 as ‘different’ and ‘exciting.’ The Vivo NEX 3 carries support for 5G connectivity. The rest of the video shows how swift 5G connectivity performs on the device.

Rumors surrounding the Vivo NEX 3 has reveled that it will be fueled by Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform and it will be sporting a 64-megapixel triple camera system. The exact size of the battery of NEX 3 is not known yet, but a leaked render of the phone that was spotted yesterday revealed that it may arrive with support for 120W Super FlashCharge technology.

Vivo will be announcing the highly anticipated Vivo NEX 3 smartphone in September. An official ad that was released by the company yesterday had revealed the front and rear design of the smartphone. Fresh leaks suggest that the phone will be housing a massive 6,400mAh battery and it will be arriving with support for 120W Super FlashCharge technology.

The Vivo NEX 3 will be packed with plenty of topnotch specifications. Many details on the specs of the phone have already earlier this week. A leaked render of the Vivo NEX 3 shown below showcases its marvelous waterfall display which is nothing but a screen with extremely curved edges. The image also reveals that the phone supports Vivo’s Super FlashCharge technology that offers 120W fast charging. The Chinese firm had announced the 120W Super FlashCharge technology in June. The new tech makes it possible to charge a 4,000mAh battery in just 13 minutes.

Some rumors are also claiming that the Vivo NEX 3 could be housing a massive battery of 6,400mAh capacity. Unfortunately, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim. It appears that the tech publications have misread ‘6400’ text in the below shown leaked image as 6,400mAh battery capacity. The ‘6400’ text actually refers to 64-megapixel camera.

Past reports have revealed that the Vivo NEX 3 will be featuring a massive display with slim-sized top and bottom bezels. The side bezels of the phone will appear non-existent. It is speculated that the phone will offer a screen-to-body ratio of 99.6 percent. The NEX 3 could be fueled by the latest 7nm Snapdragon 855+ chipset that includes 2.96GHz octa-core processor.

The rear shell of the phone features a circular camera housing with three camera sensors placed inside it. It is speculated that the phone will come equipped with a pop-up selfie snapper. While companies are axing the 3.5mm audio jack feature on their flagship phones, the upcoming NEX 3 will retain it. The handset will continue to sport an in-screen fingerprint reader as like the predecessor model. Some reports have claimed that the phone may come in 4G VoLTE and 5G network variants.

The September arrival of the Vivo NEX 3 is confirmed, but the company is yet to reveal the specific launch date. Hopefully, the exact unveil date will be confirmed in the next few days.

A couple of years back, if someone said that Vivo was going to lead innovation in the smartphone industry, most wouldn’t have believed. But its NEX series has truly been revolutionary so far. From the world’s first pop-up cameras to a dual-screen flagship, the NEX 1 (S) and the NEX 2 (NEX dual) have shown how technology can help redesign the smartphone.

Now, the Vivo NEX 3 is here to take things to another level and the company’s latest teaser video shows off the device in all its glory!

(Someone has already uploaded the official Vivo teaser from Weibo to YouTube. Check it out from above. Official teaser link is in the source)  

The Vivo NEX 3 is as revolutionary as we had expected. It will be the first phone to feature a waterfall screen, which is nothing but a display that is curved at the edges. While that’s pretty cool, the phone has a lot more tricks up its sleeve.

First, the Vivo NEX 3 will retain a pop-up camera just like its first-generation model. What’s interesting is that the pop-up camera module looks quite wide, which probably means it will likely feature dual cameras.

Coming to the rear camera setup at the back, the Vivo NEX 3 is confirmed to feature a triple camera setup inside a circular shaped housing. It’s clear that circular housing for rear cameras is going to be a thing in the second half of the year. The NEX 3 should be joined by the likes of Huawei Mate 30 Pro and even the OnePlus 7T in sharing a similar design in the coming weeks.

Finally, with all these features on board, you’d think that the NEX 3 is cramped for space from the inside. That’s usually the excuse we hear from all major smartphone makers when they remove the headphone jack. But even with an in-screen fingerprint, waterfall screen, and dual pop-up cameras, the NEX 3 will still retain the headphone jack. This is a major win for users who love their 3.5mm headphones, especially if the phone comes with a Hi-Fi audio chip. We also know for sure that the phone supports 5G.

Looks like Vivo has given top YouTubers like Arun Maini (MrWhoseTheBoss) access to the NEX 3 to play around with the device before launch.

We know that the NEX 3 will launch in September, but we still don’t have an official date. It’s really good to see that the real design is very close to the sketches that were revealed a few weeks back. Vivo is indeed leading the race in terms of next-gen smartphone design.

The post Vivo NEX 3 shown off in all its glory! Waterfall Screen and Headphone jack confirmed! appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The post Vivo NEX 3 5G confirmed to launch in September; key specifications leaked online appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo’s product manager Li Xiang has been busy teasing the upcoming Vivo NEX 3 flagship. The NEX lineup has been special so far featuring interesting models such as the dual-screen Vivo NEX 2 or the original Vivo NEX which featured the world’s first pop up camera! The new NEX 3 is going to retain the same level of interest as its predecessors because it comes with a curved display with a very high screen to body ratio and what’s being called as the ‘waterfall screen’. And now, Vivo seems to be ready for the official announcement of the phone on Monday.

Earlier today, Vivo’s official NEX series Weibo account posted the following: ‘See you next Monday’. If that wasn’t enough of an indication for us to mark the day, Vivo’s own profile forwarded the same post and said ‘Ok, see you next week’. Given the timing of these posts, it’s being said that the company will announce the launch event for the NEX 3 on Monday. Ideally, it should be around mid-September but we’ll have to wait for an official date till next week.

The Vivo NEX 3 is confirmed to feature a high screen-to-body ratio with a waterfall display that’s curved on both sides. We can see bezels on the top as well as the bottom of the phone, so it’s not going to be a 100% bezel-less display as previously reported. Also, the image of the phone shows no notches or cut out cameras on the screen which could hint that it features a pop-up camera just like the first NEX series model. There are rumors about an in-display camera too but that’s highly unlikely. Even OPPO confirmed earlier that it hasn’t perfected this technology yet.

The NEX 3 is expected to feature the new Snapdragon 855 Plus processor with 5G support. The rear camera setup will be housed in a circular housing. The phone will also come with a headphone jack unlike other flagships in the market today.

The post Vivo NEX 3 launch date could be announced on Monday appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo and the company’s product manager Li Xiang has been teasing about the company’s upcoming experimental smartphone — Vivo NEX 3. So far, the company has confirmed “Waterfall Screen” on the NEX 3, 3.5mm headphone jack, and 5G support.

Now, a real image of the Vivo NEX 3 smartphone has surfaced online, which gives us a clear look at the phone’s design and just the render that was teased earlier. It shows that the phone with “Waterfall Screen” design but it is not as curvy as the renders showed.

Further, there are still significant bezels surrounding the display, especially at the top and the bottom, which is odd given that the company has been touting about nearly 100 percent screen-to-body ratio.

However, there’s no notch visible on the phone’s display, suggesting that the phone will either have a pop-up front-facing camera or will adopt the in-display camera technology. The company has reportedly solved the “Window Effect” issue faced by the under-display camera sensor. So, there’s a possibility that we could see this technology being used in this upcoming Vivo NEX-series smartphone.

In Waterfall Screen, the display is curved on the left and the right side, allowing the company to offer a bezel-less design. Many expect the smartphone to come powered by the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus octa-core processor.

Recently, Li Xang shared a partial screenshot of the upcoming Vivo NEX 3’s home screen which shows two 5G icons in the top-left and top-right corner. This confirms that the NEX 3 will come with dual 5G connectivity support.

Currently, there’s nothing much known about this upcoming smartphone. As per the reports, the upcoming Vivo NEX series smartphone could get launched in China next month. Notably, there’s no confirmation about the launch date from the company so far but we expect to know more about this phone in the coming weeks.

The post Vivo NEX 3 to come with support for 5G connectivity appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Vivo NEX 3 is the upcoming flagship phone from Vivo. Vivo’s Product Manager Li Xiang had yesterday shared an image of the frontal panel of the Vivo NEX 3 smartphone yesterday. It revealed that the display will be curved towards the left and right edges. Today, Li Xiang has released a sketch of the Vivo NEX 3 to showcase its front and rear design.

As it can be seen in the image, the dual-edge display of the Vivo NEX 3 is extremely on the edges. The sketch reveals that the bending portion of the screen appears like a waterfall. Hence, this display design is being dubbed as ‘waterfall display.’ The side bezels seem to be almost non-existent.

The sketch also shows that the top and bottom bezels of the phone are also extremely thin. This indicates that the Vivo NEX 3 will deliver close to 100 percent screen-to-body ratio. The bottom edge of the phone is not visible in the sketch. The upper edge of the phone seems to be equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack, a speaker and a microphone. The left and right sides of the phone appear to be barren. Probably, the phone could be lacking physical buttons.

Since the top bezel of the phone very thin and even the body of the phone appears to be quite slim, it may not feature a pop-up selfie snapper. Rather the company may use the new in-display selfie camera technology. Even when the phone is placed upside down, its side displays are clearly visible.

The only thing that is present on the backside of the smartphone is the triple camera setup that is placed inside a circular housing. The design of the camera housing is inspired from mechanical watches.

The specifications of the Vivo NEX 3 are currently under the wraps. However, it is very likely to feature Snapdragon 855+ chipset. Also, it is believed that the Vivo V1924A smartphone that was recently approved by 3C authority could be the NEX smartphone. The 3C certification revealed that it carries support for 5G connectivity, and it could be arriving with a 44W rapid charger. The Vivo V9122A could be the 4G LTE version of the smartphone. There is no information available on the launch date of the Vivo NEX 3. Also, the name of the device is not officially confirmed yet.

Vivo has made its Vivo NEX smartphone series for experimental smartphones and so far has launched a couple of smartphones under this lineup and now the company is gearing to launch another smartphone — Vivo NEX 3.

Now, Li Xiang, product manager of Vivo NEX has shared an image online which showcases the front panel of the upcoming NEX-series smartphone. It is now confirmed that the company will be adopting the “Waterfall Screen” design for the first time.

In this design for the upcoming NEX smartphone, the company will be using a display that is curved on the left and the right side. This will allow the company to offer a bezel-less design and the company had previously touted about the 100 percent screen-to-body ratio, which could be hinting at this design.

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.
