Short Review
- The vivo V3 features a sleek design with dimensions of 143.6 x 71 x 7.5 mm and a weight of 138 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 chipset, paired with an octa-core CPU and 3GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking for everyday tasks.
- The camera system includes a 13 MP rear camera with f/2.1 aperture and phase detection autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video, while an 8 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The battery capacity stands at 2550 mAh, which supports basic usage but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 5.1 with Funtouch 2.5, the software experience is straightforward but may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, along with a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the vivo V3 is a competent smartphone with essential features for everyday use.
- Its build quality and design are commendable, although it may not stand out in a crowded market.
