Sunmi V2s Evolves: Meet the All-New Sunmi V3
In the fast-paced and competitive world, innovation never pauses. The Sunmi V2s quickly became a reliable staple for delivery drivers, merchants, and retail environments. Now, Sunmi has taken a leap forward with the launch of the Sunmi V3, designed to elevate everything users loved about the Sunmi V2s—and with some fabulous new upgrades.
Whether you’re already familiar with Sunmi’s technology or are just getting started, the Sunmi V3 is engineered to deliver stronger performance, sharper visuals, and richer capabilities. Plus, it’s already gaining traction across Southeast Asia with platforms like GrabFood, ShopeeFood and FoodPanda are deploying the Sunmi V3 to empower delivery networks. Let’s dig into what makes this upgrade so exciting!
External Design: Sleeker, Smarter, Stylish
Sunmi describes the Sunmi V3 as its third-generation aesthetic—and the first thing you’ll notice is how modern it looks. The device showcases a slim, elegant silhouette with rounded edges, giving it a lightweight, balanced feel that’s comfortable to hold throughout long shifts in food and beverage businesses.
It’s coated in a contemporary metallic spray-finish, which not only looks sharp but also feels solid in your hand. Whether you’re delivering food, checking out customers in-store, or managing inventory, the Sunmi V3 blends visual appeal with practicality—a testament to thoughtful industrial design.
Brighter, Bigger Display: A Visual Upgrade
One of the standout upgrades is the vibrant 6.75″ HD+ display that shines at 420 nits—bright enough for outdoor use or indoor glare. Compared to the Sunmi V2s’s smaller screen, the Sunmi V3’s display significantly improves visibility, making app navigation, order review, and scanning tasks smoother and faster. This is especially helpful for delivery partners and merchants who rely on clear and easy-to-read screens, even in bright sunlight or dimly lit interiors.
Power & Performance: Speed that Shows
The Sunmi V3 brings major hardware advancements. At its core is an octa-core processor running up to 2.4 GHz, delivering a 200 % performance boost compared to Sunmi V2s hardware—a massive leap forward. Whether you’re running multiple apps simultaneously or launching software on the fly, the extra horsepower ensures a noticeably smoother experience.
The memory options are also upgraded. It is now 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, using fast UFS memory for read/write speeds up to 3 times faster than the Sunmi V2s. App launches are claimed to be 3 times faster, too—meaning even during peak hours, the terminal stays responsive.
Connectivity & Scanning: Built for Mobility
The Sunmi V3 enters the field fully equipped for today’s connected world:
SUNMI Hyper Wi‑Fi delivers strong, wide coverage with smart switching between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands for stable connectivity.
Bluetooth 5.0 ensures reliable pairing with peripheral devices.
4G/3G/2G cellular with dual nano-SIM slots keeps your delivery accounts online even in low-signal areas.
GPS support precise location tracking—great for delivery driver to track your business locations, even in rural areas.
On the hardware front, the Sunmi V3 keeps Sunmi’s laser-assisted 2D barcode scanner for 1D and 2D barcode recognition, capable of reading damaged or low-quality codes—a big plus during fast-paced operations.
Printer Improvements: Faster, Cleaner, Versatile
The Sunmi V2s already included thermal printing, but the Sunmi V3 takes it further:
Upgraded dustproof design extends printer life even in dusty or oily environments.
Supports wider rolls up to 50 mm diameter, reducing need for rollout changes and more flexibilities.
This makes the Sunmi V3 incredibly flexible—perfect for delivery receipts, order receipts, or queue tickets in service counters.
Soft‑POS & NFC Payments: Ready for Contactless
In today’s contactless-first environments, the Sunmi V3 includes NFC-enabled SoftPOS with EMVCo PCD L1 certification—allowing merchants to accept payments directly on the device with no extra hardware, only works with certain POS software. This streamlines setup for food and beverage businesses, pop-up shops and small businesses, providing a fast, mobile checkout solution that’s secure and modern.
Fingerprint for Security & Speed
Security meets convenience with built-in fingerprint login—users can unlock the device or log into apps with a quick touch. It’s ideal for teams sharing devices during shifts, while still keeping the terminal secure and tamper-resistant.
Sunmi V3 in the GrabFood & ShopeeFood Ecosystem
Sunmi’s recent announcement highlights that GrabFood Malaysia is already integrated Sunmi V3 into its delivery operations, emphasizing its readiness for high-volume use in real-world conditions. ShopeeFood is also anticipated to adopt Sunmi V3, with ongoing hardware integration, expected to be completed between mid and late August 2025. If you’re part of a F&B industry, looking to expand your business into food deliveries, this means the Sunmi V3 isn’t just future-ready—it’s already rolling out on the roads and sidewalks!
