Oppo may have shown off the first smartphone with a waterfall screen, but Vivo is now officially the first phone maker to launch a device with a waterfall display commercially. After numerous leaks and official teasers over the past few weeks, Vivo’s next flagship – Vivo NEX 3 5G was unveiled in China today. The smartphone features a truly bezel-less design, Snapdragon 855 Plus, triple cameras, and a massive battery to run the show.
Vivo NEX 3 features a 6.89-inch E3 Super AMOLED waterfall FullView display with 99.6% screen-to-body ratio and brightness levels up to 800 nits. The screen curves at a 90-degree angle on the edges, making it the first-ever smartphone to boast a near 100% screen-to-body ratio. It supports 100% sRGB color space and HDR 10, alongwith Schott Xensation glass protection on top. Image Courtesy: Mrwhosetheboss
Vivo NEX 3 comes equipped with a number of camera features such as the Hyper-HDR, Super Night Mode 2.0, Super EIS for video recording (which crops a larger chunk of the video for added stability), AI-detailed portrait segmentation, and more. One of the key highlights here has to be the ability to customize the camera UI to your needs. If you’re pondering over the location of the selfie camera, well, the 16MP sensor (and LED flash) is housed in a huge pop-up module.
Vivo is pushing for 5G connectivity with its latest flagship and well, the Vivo NEX 3 5G is priced quite exorbitantly – keeping that in mind. The Vivo NEX 3 5G is priced starting at 5,698 yuan (roughly Rs. 57,750) for the 8GB+256GB base variant. You will have to shell out 6,198 yuan (roughly Rs. 62,750) for the 12GB+256GB variant.
