NEX 3
Waterfall FullView display with pop-up camera.
The Vivo NEX 3 is a flagship Vivo smartphone released Sep 2019, with a launch price of $920. It pairs the Snapdragon 855+ with a 6.89" FHD+ Super AMOLED Waterfall, 99.6% screen display, a 64 MP + 13 MP UW + 13 MP tele main camera and a 4500 mAh, 44W battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 80/100 — The waterfall flagship. Standout strengths: extreme 99.6% waterfall fullview display and pop-up cam keeps the front pristine. Main trade-off: waterfall edges cause accidental touches.
