Vivo's new flagships have finally been launched, one of the most popular smartphone manufacturers in China that makes a lot of presence in the market with excellent mobiles. The new terminals we are talking about now are ones that have been rumored to say "no more" in the past, and they are the Vivo NEX 3 and NEX 3 5G.
These devices flagships They arrive with the expected and interesting screen super curved at its edges that makes the screen-to-body ratio almost 100%. But well, the details of the characteristics and technical specifications of these we expand them below.
All about the new Vivo NEX 3 and NEX 3 5G
vivo NEX 3 5G
As we anticipate, Vivo launched a variant of the NEX 3 with 5G connectivity. Both models share almost all the other specifications in all their sections, except for RAM and ROM, as they are offered in different configurations.
The most remarkable thing about these terminals is the screen they have. This is a 6,89-inch AMOLED panel with a FullHD + resolution of 2,256 x 1,080 pixels. Thanks to the curved side edges of the same and the very few upper and lower bezels that hold it, the screen-to-body ratio is 99,6%, which makes it known as the Infinity Display, although the term by which it has opted the signature is «Cascade screen».
There is a set of pressure sensors on the sides of the screen to have capacitive volume and power buttons, thus dispensing with the physical ones. These, according to the promise they make, reduce the incidence of accidental or phantom touches and can respond with slight vibrations.
On the other hand, Both the Vivo NEX 3 and the NEX 3 5G have the Snapdragon 855 Plus inside. However, as you can guess, the first mentioned model only offers support up to 4G, while the second is compatible with up to 5G NSA networks. The NEX 3 is offered with a respective UFS 3.0 RAM and ROM of 8 and 128 GB; the NEX 3 5G, meanwhile, comes in the following options: 8/256 GB and 12/512 GB. They carry a 4,500 mAh capacity battery with support for 44-watt fast charging.
Another thing in which the Vivo NEX 3 5G differs from the standard variant is in the cooling system it carries, which is induction cooling. The Nex 3 doesn't have a heat-preventing feature, so it's not as great for gaming as its bigger brother.
The other highlight of both smartphones is the dual Wi-Fi antenna that incorporate. With this, they can connect simultaneously to the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz bands of any Wi-Fi network, or to Wi-Fi and the mobile network to always use the most powerful one, designed for when the respective mobile detects signal strength decreases.
As for the photographic section, It is worth noting that there is a circular casing on the backs of these, which is composed of a 64 MP main camera sensor, a 13 MP secondary camera that offers wide-angle shots with a 117 ° field of view and a third trigger that is a telephoto lens and executes 13 MP photos, as well as an LED flash. For selfies and more there is a 16 megapixel shooter housed in a retractable system that also has an LED flash.
