Budget flagship Vivo iQOO 3 5G

Vivo introduced the iQOO 3 5G model - well, you guessed it, probably - the flagship smartphone with 5G support.

The handsome man is pleased not so much with the filling - although it’s the most advanced there is nowhere steeper, it’s not atypical in color. Like, speckled orange still, like, no one in the portfolio was.

iQOO 3 5G is the flagship of the “first magnitude”. The most powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor is combined with a serious amount of RAM - up to 12 GB. In the top-end configuration, the smartphone scored 610576 points in AnTuTu (according to the manufacturer, announced at the presentation).

There is also a younger version with 6 GB of RAM, which immediatelygives the manufacturer’s desire to please both ours and yours — so that both the flagship and cheaper. There is also an average one - 8 GB. And in general there are many variations, there is plenty to choose from. Depending on the market, something in the characteristics changes. In particular, the Indian species does not have NFC support, while the Chinese one has it. Also in India there is a variant without 5G support, in China they did not represent this.

Four cameras: 48 MP main with aperture f / 1.79, wide-angle and telephoto 13 MP each and 2 MP depth sensor. Not bad, but of course, you can not compare with the giants. Front camera 16 MP.

The screen is classic. Super AMOLED with a diagonal of 6.44 ″ resolution of 1080 × 2400 pixels, in the corner a hole for a selfie camera, built-in fingerprint scanner.

A good battery is 4440 mAh with a fast charge of 55 W Super Flash charge. Oddly enough, there is a 3.5 mm human audio output.

A pretty overall device. And inexpensive.
