I popped down to the Vivo #FutureBeyondEdges roadshow at Bedok Mall today and tried out the exciting new flagship smartphone – NEX 3 – that was launched in Singapore last week.
Mediacorp Artiste Elvin Ng with Liu Hong Bin, CEO of Vivo Singapore and the new Vivo Nex 3 flagship smartphone (S$1,299) at the #FutureBeyondEdges roadshow at Bedok Mall.
Based on first impressions, I like the “no edges – no buttons” design of the premium phone.
#FutureBeyondEdges Event @ Bedok Mall
As part of the NEX 3 launch in Singapore, vivo is holding the #FutureBeyondEdges event from 6–12 November at Bedok Mall.
Customers who purchase the NEX 3 (S$1,299) at the event will receive a FREE DJI OSMO Mobile 3 Combo (worth S$189) and Folio Case (worth S$29.90) – while stocks lasts.
The Vivo NEX 3 is also available through the telcos M1, Singtel and StarHub.
The launch of the Vivo NEX 3 in Singapore was first announced last month on 17 October.
The actual launch was only last Saturday on 2 November, so the NEX 3 is still hot from the oven.
The 6.89-inch POLED Waterfall Fullview Display (1080 x 2256 FHD+) extends over the curved edges on both sides and offers an immersive visual experience with the high 99.6% screen-to-body ratio.
All around the edges, there’re no buttons at all, except for the diminutive power button which is so flushed with the side that it’s hardly noticeable.
The volume up/down “buttons” on either side of the power button are totally invisible because they use embedded sensors.
The fingerprint sensor is in-display on the front, so you don’t see any fingerprint sensor at the rear.
There is also face-unlock should the fingerprint authentication fail three times.
The triple rear cameras come with a 64-megapixel main camera, as well as a 13MP wide-angle camera and 13MP telescopic camera that takes pretty impressive macro photos.

The front camera is a massive 16MP camera that pops out from the top of the NEX 3, accompanied by a flash.

OPPO has launched the Reno2 (S$899) & Reno2 Z (S$899) Android smartphones in Singapore. OPPO also launched its first wireless noise cancelling headphones – the Enco Q1 (S$179). Available from 26 October. Introductory promotions below.
The OPPO Reno2 has 5x hybrid zoom, ultra dark mode, sunlight AMOLED screen, ultra steady video.
The OPPO Reno2 (S$899) comes in Luminous Black and Sunset Pink with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
Editor’s Comments
The mid-range phones bring enhancements to OPPO’s Reno series phones in improved Wi-Fi connectivity, photography and video recording.
An interesting feature I tried is the real-time video bokeh where the background is blurred. It’s the video equivalent of the portrait mode in smartphone still photography.
The more affordable OPPO Reno2 Z (S$599) comes in Luminous Black and Sky White with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
The OPPO Enco Q1 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones (S$179) in Midnight Black and Sunny Orange will be available from 26 October 2019 at OPPO concept store and OPPO official online store on Lazada, Qoo10 and Shopee.

Jabra launches PanaCast (S$1,389) – its smart panoramic 4K video conferencing solution for huddle rooms.
The Jabra PanaCast provides a 180-degree plug-and-play video solution that enables everyone in the room is seen.
The “video-head” was made by Altia Systems which was acquired by Jabra’s parent, GN back in February this year.
Close-up of a PanaCast has a USB connector and a mic-in jack.
Jabra PanaCast has three 120-deg 13MP cameras with overlapping FOV.
The feeds from the three cameras are stitched in real time to provide a 180-deg FOV – wider than any single wide-angle lens and without the edge distortion.
The result is a “short-throw” video camera that enables the PanaCast to be usable even in the smallest huddle room.
Details below from the press release.
