After it was teased a few days back, vivo officially unveils the new member of the Z series with the Z3. While it physically looks similar to the V11i especially with the Halo notch-sporting 6.3-inch full HD+ display, rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, MicroUSB port, and gradient colors, the Z3 is outfitted with a different set of internals.
The Z3 comes in two variants: the Snapdragon 670 version comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, while the Snapdragon 710 version comes with 6GB RAM and 64GB/128GB of internal storage. Both Snapdragon processors are more powerful than the Helio P60 outfitted with the V11i.
While the Z3 has better processors, it gets downgraded cameras: 16-megapixel + 2-megapixel for the rear, and 12-megapixel with dual pixel sensor for the front. Powering the Z3 is the same 3315mAh battery found on the V11i, along with Android 8.1 out of the box.
