Vivo V3Max review: Horizons expanding

06 May, 2016
Vivo enjoyed a good run with the X-series in 2015 and even snatched the world’s slimmest phone title with the local Chinese version of the X5Max. In 2016, the company is obviously trying to carry that momentum into the midrange with the V-series.

                      You have lot of knowledge of music listening with mobile phones.
                      All mobile reviewers neglect this very important point.
                      I suggest you can start a new blog of yours. It will help many for sure because there are many who like to listen to good quality music. Good day

                        1) I don't have much knowledge about iPhones as I am an android user. As such to me the two smartphones that stood out in terms of audio quality over headphones are Vivo X5Max and Lenovo Vibe X3. Both are available in India. They have enough driving power for any kind of in-ear earphones you can through at them.

                        2) On a small budget of INR 2K, the best earphones I have ever come across for MUSIC is Cowon EK2. I believe it retails in India at around INR 1.3K. This earphone is not for bass lovers OR who love the popular V-groove (high bass + high treble with recessed voice) which are popular with electronic music. EK2 on the other hand has a flat frequency response, it produces the real sound with just the amount of bass + mids + highs as the composer intended!!! But it comes with big 10mm drivers which need smartphones that are capable to drive them like X5Max, X5Pro, Vibe X3 etc. With other smartphones with no dedicated headphone amplifier the EK2 may sound anemic as those phones do not have the power to drive those 10mm drivers.

It does not even have one fourth the audio quality of vivo x5max. It runs flac without any problem and i love that phone 10 times more than v3max. Some phones just come close to the heart.....

But its just not worth ... moremoto g4 plus have severe heating issue ... so avoid that phone at any cost until motorola solves the issue. V3max have no heating issue and is a good phone as i use it. May be it is a bit overpriced in comparison to mi5 or lenavo vibe x3 but none the less v3max is a good and powerful phone with iphone user interface and far better than third class oppo f1 plus.
