Vivo left us in awe when it unveiled the APEX 2020 phone last week. The concept phone boasts features such as 60W superfast wireless charging, an under-display selfie camera, a 48MP gimbal camera, and a waterfall display with a 120° curve radius. While the APEX 2020 may not launch as a commercial device soon, Vivo has a new phone in the pipeline that will be available for purchase. A leak from China says this phone will launch as the Vivo NEX 3S 5G.
The info was revealed on Weibo yesterday by Digital Chat Station. The Chinese leaker stated that the Vivo NEX 3S 5G will launch soon. The phone will be the first Snapdragon 865 flagship with a waterfall display and will have support for 55W fast charging just like that of the iQOO 3 5G.
The device actually already appeared on TENAA back in January but was erroneously referred to as an orange variant of the NEX 3 5G.
The Vivo NEX 3S 5G (Vivo V1950A) will have a 6.89-inch 1080 x 2256 AMOLED display. The Snapdragon 865 processor will be paired with 8GB of RAM and be available in 128GB and 256GB variants.
There will be three cameras on the back of the phone – a 64MP primary sensor paired with a 13MP telephoto camera and a 13MP ultrawide angle camera. Just like the NEX 3, this also has a motorized pop-up selfie camera with a 16MP sensor.
TENAA says the phone has an in-display fingerprint scanner, runs Android 10, and packs a 4250mAh battery. It has support for SA and NSA 5G bands 41, 78, and 79.
The Vivo NEX 3S 5G will come in a single color which is stated as golden on the TENAA listing but which looks more like Sunset Red. The phone will weigh 219.5 grams and measure 167.44 x 76.14 x 9.4 millimeters.
There is no launch date yet but we expect it to arrive this month.
