vivo NEX 3S 5G technical sheet
The vivo NEX 3S 5G suits buyers who value performance and camera flexibility, but its 219.5 g weight is heavier than most phones of its time. The 6.89″ Super AMOLED display fills 93.6% of the front, a screen-to-body ratio among the best of its era; its 363 ppi density, however, is below average. The screen has curved edges and supports HDR10+.
The Snapdragon 865 scores 745,100 in AnTuTu, among the highest results of its time, and its 256 GB storage is more than most phones launched around then offer. The main camera pairs 64 MP with a 1/1.72″ sensor, larger than those in most phones of its time. A telephoto camera adds 2x optical zoom, among the longest of its era. Taken as a whole, the camera is better than most phones launched around the same time.
Connectivity is among the best of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and NFC. Its 4,500 mAh battery has slightly more capacity than average, while 44 W charging is among the fastest. The phone has no Google Services, and its storage cannot be expanded. With a NeoScore of 6.4, the vivo NEX 3S 5G is a compelling fit for buyers seeking strong performance, a large display and optical zoom who can accept its weight and software limitations.
