    I bought this and should i charge it for 8 hours ?

      AnonD-440648, 24 Nov 2016At last I got the answers from you taka, that vivo is also ... moreYou are not having the whole picture. Let me explain. I have found phone companies follow three different kind of strategies for Android version upgrades:

      1) Companies like Vivo provided stellar hardware in V3Max at a very reasonable price. You get a powerful SD 652 , 4 gigs of RAM, FullHD screen, great built quality, reasonably good battery, fast charging, fast charger and default VoLTE support. All at INR 19k. The phone also comes with a decent OS overlay named Funtouch OS built upon Android Lollipop. It is a super stable OS, but we the users as always moan as Vivo don't upgrade to Marshmallow. This is because upgrading the android to a higher version will incur Vivo a cost overhead which if planed needs to be included in the handset asking price as nothing comes free. Then this handset needs to cost INR 25K and we could have received Android 6 or may be even 7. But Vivo are not doing this, they are selling at INR 19K with a very thin profit margin and providing timely android security updates via OTA and making the phone ultra stable day by day. To prove my point, my V3Max never crashed/ hanged since I bought it over 5 months even after with hard usage and playing super heavy games. Other companies like LeEco also follow the same rule.

      2) Companies like Motorola even under current Lenovo banner follows a different approach. Timely android version upgrades are a must for them. So they sell phones like Moto X Play with lower specs than V3Max at a much higher price of INR 25K. They do this as the extra INR 6k to 7K they are taking per phone will be used to develop new android version upgrades, and then spend huge amount of resource to optimize it for the specific phone hardware. Then it will be deployed via OTA updates. All this incur high cost overhead which is taken into account when you buy their phone.

      3) Companies like Lenovo recently tried to do best of both worlds after Motorola acquisition and outcomes can only be misery. Take for example my flagship Lenovo Vibe X3. Costing INR 20K, it had equivalent hardware specs of Vivo V3Max, so Lenovo had a very thin profit margin with this phone. So to do the promised android version upgrade at a nominal cost and not taking into account the quality standards of the software they hired a third party contracted software company to upgrade to marshmallow, but the outcome was that update was so buggy some Vibe X3 users opted to go the service center's to downgrade to Lollipop like me, some sold their phone and some are still moaning with the ultra buggy Marshmallow update. Vivo on the other hand do everything themselves. They make their own handsets and do not contract other companies like Foxxcon to built their phones. Thus they can control the product quality. I own the ominous Vivo X5Max and you will be blown by the product quality of this phone as it beats my wife's Samsung galaxy S6 Edge on this account.

      So in the end you have to decide, if you want timely android version upgrades then pay an initial high price for the handset and go for companies like Motorola, Samsung etc.

Its literally not there! Other brand is doing fine except a few chinese brand. They update simply for the sake of version number but nothing changed in the phone itself. All the features you mentioned dont appear in their Marshmallow update. They troll users. Go ahead, see if kitkat vivo any different from lollipop vivo. It is the exact same. Nothing changed.

              Taka, 23 Nov 2016Funtouch OS is actually the most stable android skin next t... moreTaka I think u haven't used 6.0 & you don't know much. Here some examples for you that I noticed Android Lollipop 5.1 and the Android Marshmallow 6.0 are pretty different from the each other, and you can notice the significant difference once you start using it.The Android Lollipop showed the App Permissions on the Play Store and the Installation option. But, in the Marshmallow, we can decide whether to give any app the permission to access something. In Marshmallow, we can review and give the permission to the app after opening it, helping us to control what an application can access and what not, Flexible Storage:-
              The Android counted the MicroSD card as the external storage. Due to this, we were not able to install the applications on the MicroSD card without rooting the device. But in Marshmallow 6.0, the MicroSD card can be used as the Internal Storage option. We can use the MicroSD card to install the applications in case of less storage problem and that without rooting.
              Battery Saving:-
              On the Lollipop 5.1.1, we have the Extended Battery Usage feature. With this feature, we can extend the battery power for 90 minutes of usage. In the Marshmallow 6.0, we have the “Doze” feature. The “Doze” is the Setting in the Marshmallow, which gets activated when the device is kept inactive for a long time. When the Doze is triggered, it puts the phone Deep Sleep mode and only addresses the high-priority issues. Thus, saving battery juice for further usage. Android should be upgraded and must be upgraded for better performance and optimization..

                  AnonD-440648, 23 Nov 2016I heard a rumour that vivo smartphones can't be upgraded to... moreFuntouch OS is actually the most stable android skin next to stock android. Updating to new android version is useless because its only change the android version and nothing else, all the software will remain the same. Vivo add all the new feature into Funtouch OS anyway. Their technique is actually better than releasing new android version that may cause the phone to hang and lags due to lack of optimization. If they keep using Funtouch for the updates it will ensure the phone to be well optimized and stable throughout its life. Look at Xiaomi, they update Lollipop to Marshmallow but nothing change at all in the software. It is useless update.

                        I heard a rumour that vivo smartphones can't be upgraded to M or N coz the device comes with their own custom UI which is called funtouch os. I think they can't optimize it well. Then we've to use the v3 & v3 Max device which comes with the stable os 5.1 lollipop until the devices dies?
