vivo Xplay3S - User Reviews

  • Wow, this phone was really high spec'd at the time!

  • Loved this phone back in 2013. Only downside is that Living in the UK apps such as google would not work. Great speakers.

  • Hi everyone vivo lovers,im using samsung J2 PRIME and i have same problem with suffience storage and i think to swap my samsung to this x5s hpone,anyway after i read all off comment at this site it make me sad&poor to have 1vivo phone i afraid if i has done swap to this phone i already have same problem and it did'nt solve anyway.before i the one oppo user and i used oppo F1s after a year i used oppo phone it never made me dissapointed and hangs,bcoz oppo internal storage much2

  • I thinks this phone price is to much if want to compare all software vivo x5s and if they fix storage problem and software it will be fair to buy this phone,fyi i used samsung j2prime only if want to compare it samsung more 2step forward and the price is only about 5++ and i dont regret if my phone got storage problem because it fair to me if i compare my phone price and untill now i dont get hangs using this phone event i downlowd many game&apps.only insuffience storage problem but i can solve that problem anytime.if vivo has done fix the x5s storage&software i think i will buy this x5s phone one day,the picture&sound system at x5s phone so perfect&nice i give 3star to x5s phone.

  • I love the display which is the first 2K display in the world. The sound quality is perfect. But won't worth now. I sell it now.

  • Android 4.4.4 and above only. This phone stuck in Jellybean.

  • Someone please help me, I am using this phone, why suddenly I can't do video call .. so sad.. :(

  • Hey can you help...the backspace and home menus are not functioning.im in Tanzania.nice phone though

  • Still dont make any solution " storage insufficient". I think they dont care about their flagship phone, still got more money if they sell middle phone like vivo v3. they fix this problem on their new model, but not vivo Xplay 3s.

  • Anyone can download pokenon go yet?

  • Download from this website , select firmware upgrades, then download the link name "Xplay3S upgrade package PD1303F_EX_A_3.7.7 ONLY for Thailand Malaysia Indonesia version phones" Time：2016-07-06 Language：Multi Language Download：542 Download it in your phone It has 1gb so u need to wait When it done, open your download folder and click it, select upgrade now or yes something like this i forgot, then just wait and u will get your 4.4.2 android version and Funtouch OS 2.0 Hope this can help all the xplay 3s users because i think this phone cant improve anymore

  • where u download it ? my phone so latest version .. but only 4.3

  • just download the app from play store...tq

  • overall rating is it's a perfect mid range phone....vivo must handle the issue of fingerprint scanner demo?,no external storage and led flash for front camera....nice model VIVO...just keep it up!!!

  • 4.4.2 is the new version

  • Go to settings > more settings > applications > preferred install location. Then select 'phone storage'.

  • Not app video call

  • This was/is the most incredible phone I've ever owned. It's speakers are unbelievable. Unfortunately, the Xplay 5 can't even touch the 3s. The display is smaller, and the speakers are at the bottom end of the phone right next to each other. You really screwed up, Vivo. You made the perfect phone in the 3s, but instead of an upgrade, you took 2 steps back with the Xplay 5.

  • This phone features 32gb storage but its only allows 6gb system storage for apps installation. With android OS & preload vivo apps its left only around 1.5gb to install others apps. its doesn't help much even I had move all movable apps to phone storage. I have 20Gb unused phone storage but I m facing storage full pop up message every few seconds and cant operate the phone unless "format". I complaint to vivo service center but they said they is no solution for this "old flagship" model, but only will upgrade the firmware to solve this issue for newer model.... I am a user from Malaysia, I feel like I'm owning a sport car but only able to drive 60 km/h and no anybody can repair my car. I don't see any hope for this brand to be grow in here if they ignore about this serious issue (I am buying their Flagship model bro!!).

  • Lol!!!! why this phone still use jellybean hmmmmmm

  • Yeah I guess they abandoned support for this phone, but nonetheless this is a phone that was ahead of its time.

  • Did you got any software update

  • but what about software updates still on jellybean

  • If you guys haven't noticed yet, this is from 2013!!!! In 2013, the SD 801 was just announced and Quad HD screens wasn't even a thing yet, this phone was certainly ahead of its time.

  • move fb messenger to system space save this problem for me

  • This is the best phone i have ever used and it never hangs or junk during the past 1yr and 4 months. However, it suddenly stopped working just now when i was using messenger. The screen blacked out and no response no matter what effort i tried. I cant restart the phone since battery is not removable. What should i do? Please guide me.

  • This phone is sucks! I am using vivo xplay 3s with version 3.7.2 and now it is laggy like hell till the phone needs to take several seconds to display the lock screen after screen blackout, always have system space not enough issue, no new firmware update to solve all those issues. Really disappointed in their after sale service.

  • I love this phone ...

  • Still no update from vivo. Im still using Android 4.3 and funtouch OS 1.0 version. Kinda frustrated with vivo.

  • Yes. Behind of the phone

  • No Micro SD card is a minus, you cannot say the 32GB memory it is enough, different user use it differently. How about 32GB storage with Micro SD slot? People can choose not to use them, but please not totally excluded them. Big mistake is, the phone only come with 32GB variant, no 64GB or 128GB option for power user, so it is limiting it's user on memory expand-ability. I has been told to use cloud service, and OTG for my memory requirement by the seller. Omg..... What if you are at a place just with 3G connection? How about the data quota consumption? Would it faster than being transfer from 4G? or SD card is faster? You decide which one is more convenient. Then for the OTG, which one is more compact and handy? Micro SD card or the OTG thumb drive? I can tell you, not every country has superior 4G or 3G network, you will get stuck if you has poor network speed, and when it come to huge file transfer like video file of more than 1GB, you will be crying for downloading such file (at least you need to download it first before playing), and you also need to reserve memory space for doing so, and please forget HD steaming, those are more price premium than storing on SD card, and HD streaming need really high quality 4G, and Wi-Fi with super fast fiber optic internet, and OTG actually consume for battery than a Micro SD card implementation.

  • Yes

  • Does it include finger print sensor?

  • helloes, does any know how to turn off mastoras mode on vivo xplay 3s?

  • May i know when is the update for vivo xplay 3s?

  • hi,how about the quality photo of this phone？ can you take some pictures and share for me?😁😁😁&#­128513;

  • hi, how about the quality photo on this phone? can you post some pics at here ?😊😊

  • awesome!

  • Where i can get it for 400$ ?

  • Space is sufficient. You don't need to install all kind of games right? You are playing all games in the Appstore? Ridiculous... IMHO, this is a very good phone. Sound is very crystal clear and speaker is very loud with clarity. Clearly beats all other phones. The screen has very clear view, and can alter either to use quad HD or not. And the details of HD video are very good. This phone's battery life also very good! Overnight while sleeping only consume 1%! Charging time is also fast. No need of VOCC or a.k.a. rapid charging. Camera filter is very good compared to other phone. Vivid. And this phone is also robust. You won�t panic if your son accidentally dropped it on the floor. As for gaming experience, playing FIFA Ultimate team for at least more than 30 minutes, the screen and phone don�t get hot all over at all, compared to Samsung phones, known for getting very hot and hangs. I am really surprised, why this phone's rating is not on top or even listed top 20 for previous months or last year?

  • Very nice sound, now is only 400 usd, but the battery life is a problem.

  • where can I get this phone?

  • its 3 Gb ram makes it one of the osm phones in the market having phenominal configuration.

  • if phone storage if not enough. one time phone storage space running out and some system function may not work.

  • mate7 more good and good than note4

  • I was deciding btw this one and mate 7 and I got mate 7 :-) Very good phone..

  • Overall internal built-in storage is 32GB, under two types which are system storage (5.85GB) and phone storage (23.27GB). After i bought this phone, i realize the phone system storage have 2.50GB left. For the phone storage is alright for me. Nowadays a lot of apps and games and also updates. I knew some apps/games can be shift to phone storage but with so few system storage, I believe its not enough for users that likes to play games or for some apps. Overall Vivo Xplay 3S is Good but the system storage need to improve.

  • How much is it in EUR or USD

  • i'm using this one, a stunning sound i had never experienced before,i believe this will be attributed to dual speaker and a built-in hi-fi chip and 2K screen is good for video,it's better if it won't hit my face T_T

  • I like this phone very much with very clear screen display

  • in malaysia, this phone cost about RM1800++...very good display...it has dual sound at the back...good camera..smooth...5 star

  • big display good ppi normal camera average ui fluent performance this is a OK smartphone
