Equipped with an innovative fingerprint scanner, the V3 Max allows users to unlock the device in as little as 0.2 second from wake and 0.5 second in sleep mode. It also sports a screen split feature that lets users multitask without having to exit their app.
Inside, the device is equipped with dual fast charging engine that is compatible with Qualcomm’s QC 2.0 international standard. This ensures compatibility with certified fast chargers in the market.
V3 Max has a refined metallic body with a zircon sand coating-finished back. The handset’s screen, which measures 5.5-inch in size and has a 1920 x 1080 resolution, is made of 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass, providing the phone a pleasant feel in the hand.
Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 octa-core processor, V3 Max is packed with 4GB RAM and 32GB of storage expandable via micro SD card up to 128GB.
The device runs on Funtouch OS 2.5, Vivo’s official operating system based on Android Lollipop 5.1.
The phone also boasts a 13MP rear camera and 8MP front camera. Its connectivity features consist of USB 2.0, Bluetooth 4.1, and Wi-Fi.
Now available, the V3 Max can be bought in major retailers in Manila, Cebu, and Davao at a suggested retail price of Php16,990.
