Vivo U3 Teased With Snapdragon 675 SoC; Mysterious Vivo Phone With Triple Rear Cameras Surfaces on TENAA

Vivo U3 has been teased to debut with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC. The Chinese company has released a teaser image through its official Weibo account. The image also showcases the back of the Vivo U3 that could arrive as the newest budget phone -- after the Vivo U10 that was launched in India and introduced in China as the Vivo U3x last month. Separately, a Vivo phone carrying model number V1914A/T has surfaced on TENAA along with its key specifications. The handset seems to be similar to the Vivo U3. However, it could be a country-specific variant of the U3 -- considering the company's historical records of launching similar hardware in multiple markets with distinct titles.

The teaser image of the Vivo U3, which has been posted on Weibo, highlights the presence of Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC. It also gives a glimpse at the back of the smartphone that appears to have a triple rear camera setup and a traditional fingerprint sensor. There is also a vertically-placed Vivo branding as well as a gradient finish.

Further, the teaser image fairly shows the bottom area of the phone that seems to have the loudspeaker grille, Micro-USB port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
