Earlier today, Vivo took the wraps off Vivo U10 in India. The smartphone is the first handset of U-series to be available in the competitive market of India. Now, all of sudden, the same handset is available in China but with a different name. Instead of Vivo U10, the company decided to adopt the “Vivo U3x” moniker on its homeland.
The Vivo U3X is just a rebranded variant of the original Vivo U10, so don’t expect many changes in the specifications. The smartphone retains the Snapdragon 665 SoC which is paired with 3GB/4GB and 32GB/64GB of storage. If the top amount isn’t enough for you, there’s a dedicated microSD slot for further expansion. The U3x boasts a 6.35-inch IPS LCD with a waterdrop notch and HD+ resolution.
