Editorial report
vivo U3 technical sheet
The vivo U3 may suit buyers who put battery capacity first and can accept a weaker benchmark result: its AnTuTu score is below average for phones of its time. Its 5,000 mAh battery has more capacity than most, and the battery overall is among the best of its time. The 18 W fast charging is average.
The 6.53-inch IPS LCD display has a pixel density of 395 ppi, above average, and an 84.4% screen-to-body ratio, better than most phones of its time. Its 6 GB of RAM is above average, while 64 GB of storage is below average; storage can be expanded. Three rear cameras cover main, ultrawide and macro shooting. The camera overall is above average for phones of its time, although the main camera’s 16 MP resolution and f/1.8 aperture are average figures.
Connectivity is below average for phones of its time. The U3 has Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, dual Nano-SIM support and a 3.5 mm audio jack. At 193 g, it is slightly heavier than average. With a NeoScore of 4.8, the vivo U3 makes most sense for buyers who value battery capacity and RAM more than benchmark performance or generous built-in storage.
