Comparison review
The nubia Red Magic 3S has a general score of 75.8, which is a little bit better than the vivo NEX 3's 73.9 general score. Both phones in this comparison review use the same Android 9.0 Pie operating system, so you shouldn't see any difference regarding operating system features. The nubia Red Magic 3S design is a little thicker but a little bit lighter than vivo NEX 3, and they were only released 1 months apart.
Nubia Red Magic 3S has a little bit better display than vivo NEX 3, because although it has a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a quite better 1080 x 2340 resolution and a little more pixels per inch in the screen. Nubia Red Magic 3S has a bit more powerful processing unit than vivo NEX 3, and although they both have the same number of cores, the nubia Red Magic 3S also has 4 GB more RAM.
Nubia Red Magic 3S's memory for applications, games, photos and videos is very similar to the vivo NEX 3 one, both have equal 256 GB internal memory. Nubia Red Magic 3S has a bit superior battery life than vivo NEX 3, because it has 5000mAh of battery capacity instead of 4500mAh. The vivo NEX 3 captures slightly better videos and photos than nubia Red Magic 3S, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not so good for capturing photographs in poorly lited environments, and they both have the same (4K) video quality, the vivo NEX 3 also counts with a larger back camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors, a way higher resolution back facing camera and faster video frame rate.
