The latest flagship smartphones don’t come for cheap. Latest trends in the smartphone industry include an on-screen fingerprint sensor, pop-up camera, slide-screen design, and others. The Vivo Nex comes with a pop-up camera and an on-screen fingerprint sensor. These are features you will enjoy if you are willing to spend $499.99. However, note that the Nex series has two variants – VIVO NEX S and VIVO NEX A. In this deal, we refer to “Vivo Nex A” as simply “Vivo Nex”.
This smartphone is one of the earliest phones to use the Snapdragon 710 SoC behind Xiaomi Mi 8 SE. This pseudo-flagship chip delivers a flagship performance. It provides an AI performance two times better than the Snapdragon 660. It lies between Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 600 series SoCs. Taking a critical look at SD710, you will observe that it has many features from the high-end Snapdragon 845. The Vivo Nex processor is supported by 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
