I have been using the phone for more than 3 years.. just lately i experienced battery draining fast. Very lasting and durable phone far better than oppo. The battery can last 1 full day with full charge. I just got a free Vivo S1, still getting used to it. However i feel that V3 Max still has the ideal size and screen size. Having a bit of a problem tucking the S1 into my pants pockets as compared to V3 Max.Love the V3 Max

I've been using my Vivo V3max for more than 3 years and still no problem. It was dropped off multiple times without case/cover or even tempered glass since there are few store offered accessories for this type of phone in our countrt and it's still working fine. No lagging even the space is used up. i love it so much ❣️ #VivoPH

Dave Hoe, 06 May 2019I just encountered battery issue. After a full 100% charge,... moreI have had the same issue happen to me a couple of times throughout the year. Everytime I fixed it by hard resetting the phone from the boot loader. Instructions here (https://www.hardreset.info/devices/vivo/vivo-v3max/hardreset/first-method/)
I do not use fast charge, the problem occurs when I use fast charge function with various other aftermarket charger with no fast charge function. So Turn fast charge OFF.

I just encountered battery issue. After a full 100% charge, the battery will start to discharge quickly and the whole phone especially the top portion is hot. In a short time, the battery will be flat even when it is not used and with no app running in the background. Can anyone please advise?

Anonymous, 11 Jan 2019Is the latest update (2.8.16) good? No issues?Really surprised!!!
Vivo typically provides OTA updates for 2 years from release date which for V3Max is April, 2016. As such I believed there will be no updates after April, 2018. However 9 months down the line yesterday I received an OTA update on Jan, 2019 !!!
The new PD1523F_EX_A_2.8.16 (69 MB) brings following optimization:
1) Improved system stability
2) Optimized compatibility with third-party apps
3) Improved the file cleanup efficiency of the phone to provide more available space
After update did not notice any change in performance. OTA update is stable. However I believe they have changed the memory management with better cleanup efficiency.

I've been using this phone since June 2016 till now and it still perform flawlessly. I've dropped my phone on the road, from a high place and everywhere else and the only thing that cracked was my screen protector. Everything else on the phone was still in good condition. There's this one time I drop my phone in the drain for about ~15 minutes. The moment I pick it up the phone still light up and can be used.
The battery also last very long. I usually charged my phone only once everyday despite using data, on the internet and everything, it didn't really drains the battery much. I played songs for 8 hours straight and the battery didn't even budge. I still haven't change my battery up to now since I bought it. The fast battery charging though is a bit slower compared to when I first bought it but it went to around ~50% in less than an hour of charging.
Overall I am very satisfied with the phone. I never think of changing the phone despite all the heaps with the new phone coming. I'm going to use this phone till there comes a time where I had no choice but to change it.

This phone disproves the general assumption that fast charging eats away the battery. Prior to this phone, I had owned a lot of smartphones with normal charging. Their battery had to be replaced after almost a year at max.
However, I'm now using Vivo v3max for more than 2 years and the battery may be a bit slower than the day I purchased the phone, it is still solid enough as it lasts more than a day and gives much better performance than my partner's Samsung S8. My phone still charges so fast that I'm used to it and I won't even consider phones without fast charging tech.

been using Vivo V3 Max for more than two years and still no issues, bought for Php17,000.00 and really worth the penny, unlike my former phone, Sony Xperia 3 Compact which super expensive, bought for (Php34,000.00), and the life span didn't even reach two years, a really big disappointment and waste of money. So I learned my lesson the hard. tsk!
Vivo V3 Max is a good buy, the only downside is its hybrid slot for memory card and sim 2.

khrm, 28 Aug 2018I'm also using Vivo V3 Max for over 2 years now. Just came ... moreSo true. I've used mine for 2 years and finally its battery gave away. But it has been more than worth every penny it cost. One gem of a phone.

I'm also using Vivo V3 Max for over 2 years now. Just came here to comment how amazing this phone has been. Especially given its price, it really surprised me as for me it actually performed better than the flagship Samsung, HTC, Sony and other phones I had bought prior to this. It never froze, nor restarted ever. It did not even hang at all. The fingerprint sensor is just awesome and the best thing is its battery and fast charging, which even after 2 years of use is still working great. Not to mention its premium looks as the phone does not look so cheap as it actually was.
These days people praise OnePlus, Xiaomi Pocophone and others etc as flagship killers, but for me this phone killed my desire to go after flagship phones anymore. Vivo V3 max price was even much less than the price of these so called flagship killers these days. Goes to show how much margin even the supposedly budget phones are making now.
