It's been nearly a year since Vivo announced its launch in India with the X5Max, and the Chinese company now has a small but growing portfolio of products. According to Vivo, a lot of attention has paid to design, and that has been visible in products such as the Vivo X5Max (Review | Pictures) and Vivo X5Pro (Review | Pictures). Although the company's products are arguably a bit too expensive for the Indian market, there is some value to the customer in terms of design and build quality.
The Vivo V1Max is a mid-range Android smartphone with a price tag that is too high for what is being offered. Powered by the Snapdragon 615 SoC, the V1Max offers the same performance and specifications as devices that cost much less. It justifies the higher price tag to a small extent by offering above-par audio performance. The device also plays a wide variety of formats and is excellent as a media device, thanks to good handling of graphics and video-related tasks. On the whole, the device falls short in many ways, and is just about average.
