Specs Comparison: Vivo V3 Max vs Flash Plus 2

Kevin Bruce Francisco

Two new smartphones were just made officially recently — the Vivo V3 Max being locally available and the Flash Plus 2 finally unveiled. Although they have a wide gap when it comes to price, their internals seem to have a close resemblance. Let’s check out what these two offer in this quick specs comparison.

vivov2max-vs-alcatelflashplus2-specscomparison

Vivo V3 Max Advantages:

  • Bigger RAM
  • Higher megapixel count for front camera

Flash Plus 2 Advantages:

  • Android Marshmallow OS
  • Cheaper

Both are equal in:

  • Display size
  • Display resolution
  • Scratch-resistant glass
  • Pixel density
  • 1.8GHz octa-core processor
  • Internal storage
  • Memory expansion
  • Dual-SIM
  • Connectivity
  • Fingerprint sensor
  • Hi-Fi chip
  • Battery capacity

From what we can see on paper, there are a lot of similarities between the two. The only deciding factor here is that if you want a bigger RAM and don’t mind spending a bit more for it, the V3 Max is a good choice. Although if you prefer a more updated OS and are on a budget, the Flash Plus 2 variant with 3GB RAM is the one for you — when it officially arrives in PH.

Specs Comparison: Flash Plus 2 vs Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5S

Kevin Bruce Francisco

The awaited Alcatel Flash Plus 2 just got official and with it comes capable specs on paper. This is why we’re pitting it against the also-recent ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5S. Let’s take a look at what these smartphones could offer its users with almost the same price point.

Note: Do keep in mind that there are two variants of Flash Plus 2 and what we’re comparing here is the model with a bigger 3GB RAM, 32GB of storage, and a higher asking price.

Alcatel Flash Plus 2 Advantages:

  • Higher resolution at Full HD
  • Higher pixel density
  • Higher memory expansion
  • Front flash
  • Fingerprint sensor
  • Hi-Fi chip
  • Updated OS

Both are equal in:

  • Display size
  • RAM
  • Storage
  • Megapixel count for rear camera
  • Megapixel count for front camera
  • Dual-SIM
  • Connectivity
  • GPS
  • Battery capacity

From here, we see that the Zenfone 5.5S doesn’t really offer anything big that the Flash Plus 2 doesn’t have. There’s the Laser autofocus that promises 0.03-second of focus time and a capable Snapdragon processor. On the other hand, the new offering from Alcatel also has a slew of advantages over the 5.5S like a fingerprint sensor and a hi-fi chip to make your music sound better.
