vivo is ready to take 5G to the next level

Vivo, the world’s fifth-largest phone maker, will enter the APAC 5G market with the launch of its latest flagship 5G smartphone. The company has already released two 5G-ready models in China, including the NEX 3, and they’re not looking to slow down any time soon.

vivo is bringing 5G smartphones to both the budget and premium categories and dominating the game in China while they do it. Smartphone makers have shipped almost half a million units to China as of the end of September, and Vivo is making up an incredible 54.3% of those numbers according to IDC. 5G networks may not even be available yet, but vivo is preparing customers to be connected as soon as the switch flips.

More 5G connection in more places

The 5G revolution is coming, and Vivo is focusing on making the Asia Pacific rollout as smooth as possible. Mobile World Live projects incredible 5G growth throughout APAC with China focusing on launches in 46 cities. vivo is already preparing to roll out 5G compatible services and applications to keep the transition running smoothly.

Vivo’s 5G-capable smartphones will be the perfect place to jump into a new 5G experience, partly thanks to the price points that are comparable to current LTE devices. 5G doesn’t have to be a connection that breaks the bank, and vivo’s 300 million customers across 36 countries have already started to take notice.

Powered by Qualcomm

vivo has been preparing to lead the 5G revolution since 2016, and they haven’t been working alone. It’s been working on the flagship 5G device since 2017, and it has become one of the top contributors to the 3GPP standard group. At MWC Shanghai 2019, Vivo finally unveiled technologies such as AR Glass and the 5G Cloud Game, powered by its partnership with Qualcomm.

Qualcomm and vivo have been working in unison ever since their first 3G collaboration in 2011. Think about that: vivo and Qualcomm have been together for three generations of connection. That’s a strong bond. The collaboration continues right into vivo’s newest device, the vivo NEX 3. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s most powerful processor yet.

Looking to the future

You’ve probably already figured this out, but Vivo is focused on the future. From pushing the 5G infrastructure rollout to making devices that are actually affordable, vivo is ready to leave the days of 4G in the past. The partnership with Qualcomm is going to continue into the future, and 5G is going to be available to the masses. Faster speeds and stronger connections don’t have to break the bank; you deserve to experience the speed for yourself.

vivo NEX 3, powered by 5G

Maybe you’ve been reading along and thinking this sounds just right for you. If you’re ready to make the switch, the vivo NEX 3 is available in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. It is unlocked on Amazon and vivo Mall. It features a massive 6.89-inch display and a triple camera with a 64-megapixel main shooter. It’s powered by the Qualcomm 855 Plus, and it even features a 3.5mm headphone jack. The days of the headphone jack don’t have to end quite yet!

Another cool thing about vivo NEX 3 is its ambient light effect on both sides of the screen — it can be activated when playing music and follow the music beats in a fashionable way. We’ve done an in-depth review of the NEX 3 in case you’re extra curious about it.
