Vivo has wisely made the two phones to look similar so there is no compromise with the design on one of them, and it is only the internal specs that are different on comparison, and the size as well.
The Vivo V3 Max is the stretched V3 and it offers a better internal system as well with higher RAM and a better processor. Also, the battery capacity is higher but the cost is about Rs. 5000 higher when compared to its smaller variant. The higher battery demands higher time for charging and thus, Vivo has also offered the fast charging feature in the V3 Max.
