As scheduled, Vivo has launched the V7+ with near bezel-less screen and a high selfie megapixel sensor. The trend of a bezel-less screen is very fast, as it seems.
The screen resolution of the Vivo V7+ is a downer HD or 720p resolution on its 5.99-inch panel, giving the price of the handset. It should have at least with a Full HD 1080p display. Vivo confirms that they managed to trim the top bezels by 47% and bottom bezels by 44%, to hit the 84.4% screen-to-body ratio.
In terms of all-round design, the Vivo V7+ comes with a full-metal body with discreet antenna lines and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. It weighs 160 grams and measures only 7.7 mm in thickness. It has triple slots, consisting of two SIM slots and a dedicated microSD card slot that supports up to 256GB.
The Vivo V7+ is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor that clocks at 1.8Ghz and is paired with Adreno 506 GPU, 64GB native storage and 4GB RAM. To lighten up the phone, the battery has a capacity of 3,225 mAh capacity and is non-removable. Another thing, it doesn’t support fast charging.
Talking about the audio is one of the highlights in this device as the V7+ comes with the company’s proprietary AK4376 dedicated Hi-Fi audio chip that gives an unparalleled sound quality, committing a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 115dB.
At the camera department, the rear sports a 16-megapixel lens with LED flash and OmniVision OV16880 sensor that can record 1080p videos. On the front, the highly ridiculous 24-megapixel camera with Moonlight Glow. Like the back camera, it can also record 1080p resolution videos. Further, there’s a Face Beauty 7.0 that offers natural facial enhancement and crystal-clear photos and Portrait Mode a.k.a. “bokeh” effect.
