The overall build quality is excellent and on par with what you should be expecting from a sub-Rs 20, 000 smartphone. Thanks to the compact 5-inch display, the device is great for one-handed usage, and a treat for people with small hands — something that is a rarity in the Android smartphone space. The metal and glass combination though make the device quite slippery, and we would advise you to use the transparent cover provided in the box.
The Vivo V3 flaunts a 5-inch HD ( 1280×720 pixels) IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 294ppi. On paper it is a tad disappointing, especially when smartphones priced as low as Rs 10, 000 these days are offering full HD resolution displays. But in real-life performance, the display does a good job, and a non-techie person will be hard-pressed to tell the display’s resolution without having to refer to the spec sheet. The display is bright, with great color reproduction, and more importantly, it is quite clear even when viewed under harsh sunlight. The screen is a fingerprint magnet, and we had to constantly wipe it clean during our day-to-day usage.
