Aniket, 06 Jul 2018Please Oreo updateThere is no official information that told Vivo V5 Plus would get an Oreo update. In the internet, it is only said that the 7th Vivo phones would get next update (one of seven Vivo is X9 model).

So, users just can wait and see what happen after several months later.

    Anonymous, 16 Jul 2018Why only few themes available in theme store ? For example ... moreMaybe,..., no many developers would like to create theme for Vivo. The most themes are for free. If Vivo smartphone popular than iPhone, Xiaomi, etc and lead sales of the world. Developers may create more themes.

      Why only few themes available in theme store ? For example millions of themes available in MI phones themes store.

        The Touchpal 2015 default keyboard is not good, I installed Gboard, it is better.

          RishiGuru, 04 Jul 2018Good. I have also learned that Vivo X9 is/ will receive ... moreVivo X9 did not so far get Oreo in China though officially announced.

          If it releases in China it will definitely come to the international variant (V5 Plus).

            Hii Rishi
            What do you think of Redmi phones are they affordable to buy and miui updates(with package of added and increased features) are releasing very quickly .but they time lag in providing os updates. Whereas coming to vivo-not providing new funtouch os, no additional adding features upto now.they do providing better battery backups and high graded performance with desent clockspeeds,gpu are nice and screen is nice too.what do you think? Which is best in your opinion? Pls share your words regarding this...thank you

                  Dineshkumar, 25 Apr 2018When Vivo v5 plus will get oreo update in India?Please Oreo update

                    RishiGuru, 04 Jul 2018Good. I have also learned that Vivo X9 is/ will receive ... moreThank you for your information. I will wait. So far the Nougat version on my Vivo V5 Plus satisfied me.

                      NikiDroid, 04 Jul 2018Today I update my Vivo V5 Plus to PD1624F_EX_A_3.6.0. Yes, ... moreGood.

                      I have also learned that Vivo X9 is/ will receive Android Oreo update in China. As Vivo V5 Plus is X9 internationally, it should also get Oreo update. But I am not sure if Vivo will roll up the update internationally.

                        Today I update my Vivo V5 Plus to PD1624F_EX_A_3.6.0. Yes, performance is better, I ty dial pad tapping number quikcly or touch 2 number together, it can do. Better than before update system. So far no problem with this update system. My V5 Plus is running on Funtouch OS 3.1.

                          RishiGuru, 02 Jul 2018Vivo/ Oppo phone prices depreciates a lot with time. Buying... moreThank you for your reply. Yes, the notification new update appear, version 3.6 around 1.106 MB. I haven't download it yed.

                            NikiDroid, 01 Jul 2018I have just bought this phone today. The price is in Indone... moreVivo/ Oppo phone prices depreciates a lot with time. Buying at 50% the launch price have made it a value for money preposition and you made an excellent decision to buy the Vivo V5Plus at the right time.

                            The PD1624F_EX_A_1.8.2 is nearly an year old, so update your phone as early as possible. The latest PD1624F_EX_A_3.6.0 available in India runs on Android Nougat (7.1.2) with Funtouch OS 3.1 on top. You will get liquid smooth experience while using the phone.

                            My V5Plus takes half a second to unlock, but sometimes take 1 second. However it never fails to recognize my fingerprint. V5Plus comes with fast charging and an 18 watt wall charger is included in the box. Personally I am extremely satisfied with my V5Plus.

                              I have just bought this phone today. The price is in Indonesia had gone down more than 50% from USD 357. Like it so much, performance very good, no lag, I played Arena of Valor game is very good, no lag, multitasking also good. My Vivo V5 Plus is running on {D1624F_EX_A_1.8.2. The lack (cons) from this phone I notice are:
                              1. The unlock screen using fingerprint is not fast as fast Vivo V5. It sometimes I should touch times and it need 1 second to unlock (maybe I should update the software, it is still running Android 6.0 security patch August, 2018)
                              2. Dial pad when high speed tapping can't be done, don't know why. Compare low end Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A 16 GB / 2 GB, that Xiaomi can high speed tap the dial pad

                              Charging speed is very good, I charged in 2 hours from 0% to full.

                                gurwinder, 23 Jun 2018After new update instal camera not work peroper when i ope... moreI have no such issues after receiving the latest 3.6.0 OTA update. The default camera app operates as usual, with no automatic closing issues. Will advice you to factory reset your phone which may as well mitigate the problem.

                                Vivo V5Plus is a much better option over V9, V7+ hands down. However the recently launched Vivo X21UD is another beast altogether and is reflected with a price tag of INR 36K.

                                  After new update instal camera not work peroper when i open camera automatcaly close....m waiting new update....over all this phone best in vivo...

                                    Nissan, 28 May 2018You are correct Rishi. No longer mobile handset manufacture... moreVivo X5Max is still a benchmark when it comes to high fidelity sound in smartphones. This phone single handedly compelled me to leave and sell all my prized HiFi portable music players. It can easily drive any audiophile grade earphones and all low impedance over the head headphones like Creative Aurvana Live 2 or Edifier H840.

                                    Lenovo Vibe X3 have same DAC as X5Max but much powerful headphone amplifier section, as many as 2. So it is capable to drive very high impedance headphones of over 300 ohms.

                                    To have a more clear picture below are the audio paths:

                                    Vivo X5Max (HiFi Mode): Snapdragon 615 --> ESS Sabre ES9018K2M (DAC) --> ESS Sabre ES9601 (I/V conversion) --> TI OPA1612 (Headphone amplifier) --> 3.5mm audio jack

                                    Lenovo Vibe X3 (Turbo HiFi Mode): Snapdragon 808 --> ESS Sabre 9018C2M (DAC) --> TI OPA1612 (I/V conversion) --> 2 X (TI OPA1612) (Headphone amplifier) --> 3.5mm audio jack

                                    Lenovo Vibe X3 (HiFi Mode): Snapdragon 808 --> Cirrus Logic WM8281 (Integrated DAC + Headphone amplifier) --> 3.5mm audio jack

                                    Soomal happens to be one of the most revered & reputed Chinese tech website and I follow them avidly. It is from there only I came to know about X5Max, and when it arrived in India I bought it immedately. When it comes to Vivo XPlay 5 Elite, I can safely say it is the most extreme audio implementation on any smartphone till date. And yes it is the best smartphone money can buy when audio quality over headphones is your utmost priority. As XPlay 5 Elite phone is not available in India, I once thought to import an unit from China but later retreated as the hassles we have in customs + tax. Also no Google play store and no updates in Chinese mobiles.

                                    Unfortunately Vivo current flagship in India, the X21UD marketed as X21 also comes with the same mundane audio chip like V5Plus. Hence don't expect any bump in audio quality over headphones.

                                      You are correct Rishi. No longer mobile handset manufacturers are equipping their models with powerful dac like expensive ESS Sabre and using amplifier such as TI. Few lucky guys own Vibe X3 or X5Max which are things of the past. As you said even Vivo changed it's tagline from Smart & Hi-Fi to Camera & Music indicating HiFi is no longer it's priorities. Certainly that is a disappointing thing. LG also started using mediocre audio solutions in it's V and G series. Lenovo these days are not interested in producing audio centric sets.
                                      I was browsing Chinese website Soomal which   profusely admires another set of Vivo. It is a two-year old X Play 5 Elite which is equipped with same treo of ESS DAC, ESS IV Conv. & TI and puts the 6/128 GB set ahead of X5 Max. The model was however not released in India.
                                      Earlier, BBK China had its focus clear defined OnePlus for performance, Oppo for camera and Vivo for hifi audio. They have completely messed up now.
                                      While saying this I must pass an order that there is a large market in vacuum available for a smart phone maker available to rule, if properly configured premiun hardware is served along.

                                        Anonymous, 25 May 2018I got new update of 310mb of sizeI also received the same. OTA build version 3.6.0 of 310 MB size. The OTA change log describes:
