Vivo finally unveiled its latest flagship, the Vivo NEX 3. The handset features 5G connectivity, top of the line internals, and a new display.
Vivo’s latest offering brings a lot of features of what many will deem a future-forward smartphone.
Starting with the front, the NEX 3 comes with a 6.89-inch full HD Super AMOLED Waterfall display. It’s named such because of the way the sides of the screen slope making it appear that it wraps the side, giving it an almost bezel-less appearance. This, according to Vivo, gives the phone an unprecedented 99.6% screen-to-body ratio.
Interestingly, because of the waterfall display, the NEX 3 does not have physical keys. It uses what they call Touch Sense where the sides simulate button presses complete with a haptic feedback, depending on various use cases.
