The vivo V3Max is a high-end smartphone with a 5.5″ full HD IPS display protected by Gorilla Glass 3 with 2.5D rounded edges. It runs on vivo’s Funtouch OS 2.5, which is based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
The vivo V3Max smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal flash storage. It also features the AKM4375 HiFi chip, which allows it to deliver a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 105 dB, and a distortion rate lower than -97 dB.
If you are into selfies, you will be glad to know that it comes with an 8 MP front camera. For even higher-resolution photos, you can use its 13 MP rear camera which has an LED flash, and features the Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) technology. This allows it to focus on subjects in just 0.2 seconds.
