Vivo V3 Max |
To refresh our minds, the Vivo V3 Max is a full metal framed handset that looks sleek and exquisite as a whole. It features a 5.5 inch FHD screen w/ 2.5D curved arc screen and Gorilla glass protection.
Under the hood, the new and powerful 64 Bit Snapdragon 652 octa core chip clocked at 1.8 GHz paired with Adreno 510 GPU will greet you. There's also a large 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable internal storage and 3,000 mAh of battery capacity w/ Quick charge 2.0. It also has a good type of 13 MP rear camera and 8 MP selfie camera.
What's special here is its fingerprint scanner that unlocks your phone at a very fast rate of 0.2 to 0.5 seconds and its AK4375 HiFi chip w/ 32 bit audio support that enables you to hear the way you should hear audiophile grade tunes.
