The Vivo Nex 3 is a great phone and those steep curves do look exciting. As of today, this is a great phone to flaunt. At the same time, the new Nex isn’t as radically different as the previous generation Nex phones and strikes as more of a mainstream phone – which isn’t a bad thing perse.
The biggest design innovation this generation is curved display edges – something that Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus and even Vivo phones have had for a while. Yes, the curves are almost 90-degrees and that makes them all the more pleasurable, but we will need to use the Nex 3 for longer to be sure that they don’t get in the way of day-to-day usage.
Anyways, the button-less design looks amazing and we have an inkling that we’d be seeing a lot more of such steep-curve or Waterfall panels throughout 2020. Huawei Mate 30 and upcoming Find X already have a similar screen, and this might very well be the kind of screen we get on the OnePlus 8.
So, to sum it up the Nex 3 is a good looking and very powerful mainstream phone that lets us peek into what the near future holds.
