vivo NEX 3 rules AnTuTu with record-breaking score

Posted: 17 Sep 2019 11:10 AM PDT

Yesterday vivo made the NEX 3 official, and while this phone's screen is probably what will get the most attention with its crazy curvature angle, it's also a beast when it comes to performance. That's because of the Snapdragon 855+ chipset it uses, of course, but we're also thinking vivo is using some secret sauce - maybe it's the hyped up vapor chamber that helps with cooling a lot. We say that because when we ran the AnTuTu benchmark on it, we got the best result ever - slightly topping the Asus ROG Phone II as you can see in the handy table below. The unit we used was the NEX 3 5G with...
