In the past, mobile phones were getting smaller and smaller, but now they are getting bigger and bigger, and the larger the screen, the more popular they are. Of course, this is also because there are more and more functions. Large-screen mobile phones stand out in the continuous upgrading, and the brand, function and appearance of large-screen mobile phones are constantly breaking through, I believe that the future mobile phone design will be like the large-screen design. As early as February this year, there was media exposure that vivo made an internal structural adjustment and officially abolished the NEX business unit and its subordinate organizations, which means that vivo's high-end brand NEX will be replaced, and it also means that the vivo NEX new machine that we have been thinking about for nearly two years will never meet with us again.
Once NEX was brilliant, the configurations used were flagship configurations on the market. In the eyes of Huang Shanyi, director of vivo brand strategy, NEX represents technology, speed and change with temperature, while NEX also represents the highest black technology of vivo. So every generation of NEX models has a lot of black technology.
The NEX series was released on June 12, 2018, with two versions of NEX and NEXS, using Snapdragon 710 and Snapdragon 845 chips respectively, and there are two unlocking methods for rear fingerprint and screen fingerprint. At that time, the mobile phone design trend was liu hai screen and digging screen, the mobile phone on the market was the same, and the NEX screen accounted for up to 91.24% of the "zero boundary full screen" to inject different colors into the market. It was also the first mobile phone to use a lifting camera, which set off a development trend of lifting and lowering full screens, which was extremely popular at the time. Subsequently, the domestic mobile phone market began to compete for lifting cameras, OPPO, Xiaomi, and Honor followed suit, all of which adopted similar designs on flagship machines. Also in the same year, Vivo announced the addition of the vivo NEX screen fingerprint version. Compared with the ordinary version, the design of the screen fingerprint makes the mobile phone more beautiful, and the second is in line with people's habits, ah, the front finger press, you can unlock, greatly convenient people's lives.
In December 2018, the vivo NEX dual-screen version was released, just like the name, the biggest feature of this phone is that the front and back of the fuselage are screens. The NEX Dual Screen Edition features an innovative dual-screen design that allows the front and rear screens to operate all the functions of the phone. The NEX dual-screen version uses a 6.39-inch Super Amoled screen, equipped with COF technology, and also brings a narrower lower bezel, visually bringing users a true full-screen experience. Meizu has also used a second screen design before, but it is not as big as the vivo NEX dual-screen version. It can be said that the introduction of two screens subverted the design style of the industry at that time, and it is still very technological.
The rear screen of the vivo NEX dual screen version adopts a 5.49-inch screen with a resolution of 1920×1080. This piece of the second screen is more powerful, in addition to daily use, you can play the game, the second screen to process information, etc., can also be in the game, the second screen can also be used as a touch shooting, bringing more gameplay. The performance is still using the Snapdragon 845 processor, but it brings a version of 10GB of running memory, and the performance is still powerful.
Due to the dual-screen design, the NEX dual-screen version cancels the lifting camera, adopts a three-camera scheme, and innovatively combines the front and rear into one, respectively, equipped with 12 million pixels (24 million photosensitive unit) (OIS+AF) + TOF 3D stereo camera + night vision camera, so that selfies can also achieve triple shooting, which is also the first in the mobile phone industry. Since it is a dual screen, when others take pictures of you, you can also see you in the lens through the second screen. Ordinary mobile phone flash is one or two, but nex dual-screen version bold innovation, in addition to an ordinary flash, there is also a ring flash, not only can beautify the light, but also support the special effects of incoming calls and other scenes.
Strong performance also requires strong battery life, 4500mAh large battery with 44W flash charge, daily use is no problem. The combination of rear triple camera is - 64 million main camera + 13 million pixel wide-angle macro + 13 million pixel telephoto, the sensor is Samsung GW1, the camera capability is really good. In March 2020, vivo also listed vivo NEX 3S, which is basically an upgrade of vivo NEX 3, mainly a chip upgrade, adding a new succinate color.
The emergence of vivo X Note continues the glory of the NEX series, allowing giant screen users to see a beam of light in the dark, which may be the only flagship-level positioning of the giant screen model at present. This phone is positioned by vivo as the top business flagship, vivo X Note uses a 7-inch Samsung E5 screen, the screen resolution is 2K+ level, the screen display effect is very delicate. This screen also supports 120Hz high refresh rate + 240Hz touch sampling rate, vivo X Note is equipped with a new Qualcomm 2022 flagship core - Snapdragon 8, while customizing the security processing unit SPU on this basis, giving vivo X Note privacy protection capabilities based on hardware.

And 80W wired fast charge vivo X Note from 3% of the battery, 5 minutes can be charged to 26%, 10 minutes can be charged to 42%.
