Vivo V7, launched in India earlier this week, is a smaller and cheaper version of V7 +, which started in September. The new Vivo Smartphone retains most of its predecessor hardware, albeit with a smaller display, a smaller capacity battery, and half of the memory on the board. Despite these cuts that make the V7 into part-Rs, the 20,000-segment features such as the Moonlight Glow release for self-centering, face unlocking, and 18: 9 screen to bring a fierce competition to Honor 8, Xiaomi Mi Max 2 and Oppo F5. The device also has a custom Funtouch OS hun on Android Nougat, which offers a unique experience. We have been able to spend some time with the Vivo V7 after launching it in India, and here are our first impressions.
First, the construction of Vivo V7 is very similar to that of V7 +. The front edge has a metallic frame that binds the glass plate and the back is a metallic plastic case. The device is 7.9 mm thick, 149.30 mm long and 72.80 mm wide. These measurements make it a compact device that is easy to grab a mid-sized palm. In addition, the mixing and matching of the plastic, metal, and glass make Vivo V7 weight adjustable in 139g - much lighter than 152g Oppo F5 and 178g Samsung Galaxy On Max. If we compare Vivo V7 with Vivo V7 +, the new model is 21g lighter but 0.2mm thicker than its predecessor. It is available in Champagne Gold and Matte Black.
The Vivo V7 continues with the development of longer displays and narrower boundaries, so the 5.7-inch FullView IPS screen is 720 x 1440 pixels (HD +) and 18: 9 aspect ratio. This screen is clear and easy to read. The viewing angles are also fair and the color reproduction is quite lively. HD + resolution is, however, relatively poorer in this segment that is full of full HD deals.

HD + resolution is, however, relatively poorer in this segment that is full of full HD deals.
Vivo V7's display has most of its front surface, with the ratio between screen and body is 83.6 percent. For this reason, it has no physical or capacitive keys - almost the same as the competing models. The screen is protected by 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass. Vivo has attached the screen protector to scratch-resistant glass. Above the screen, there is a selfie camera sensor and headset, while the two surrounding light and proximity sensors and the notification LED are almost hidden under the inkjet coating. Also, if you are afraid of falling accidentally, the handset comes with a TPU cover.
On the right side, the Vivo V7 has a volume and power button, while on the left there is a three-card compartment for holding a microSD card and two Nano SIM cards. The V7 comes with a 3.5mm jack, a primary microphone, a Micro USB port, and a speaker grille. If you are looking for a USB Type-C port, you are disappointed. At the top, there is a secondary microphone for noise reduction. On the back is a fingerprint monitor and a camera that is slightly projected and has a dual LED flash.

Vivo V7 is the core of Qualcomm Snapdragon 450, the same SoC, which supports Vivo V7 +. It is a 1.8 GHz octa-core CPU integrated Adreno 506 GPU. The Vivo V7 also has 4GB of RAM. The 64 GB storage space available for V7 + gets 32 GB, which can be expanded with a microSD card (up to 256 GB).
Vivo has gone with Android 7.1 Nougat with its own Funtouch OS 3.2. We did not feel the delay, and the use was pretty smooth. The custom skin has a set of own features. There is a game space that claims to improve performance and the App Clone feature that lets you use two copies of the application in different accounts. The FuntouchOS device pre-installed interface is also in tweaks, such as the iOS-type control center and gestures, which serve as the navigator keys. You can use intelligent transport options to wake up the screen by sliding up or answering the call by bringing the device near replacement. The release of the Android Oreo update is not an official word.

Coming to the camera, the Vivo V7 has a 16-megapixel rear camera with an f / 2.0 aperture lens that supports phase-sized autofocus (PDAF) and LED flash. The front has a 24-megapixel sensor with f / 2.0 aperture lens. The camera application features like face beauty, panorama, HDR, ultra-HD, portrait and number of filters. In addition, there is an iOS-like Live Photo Mode that creates short, animated clips. Facial beauty offers predefined options, namely, rub, dye and whitening. The primary camera seemed to have got very detailed shots in a limited time with it. Low lighting was quite low. I could see some signs of over-saturation, but we did catch ourselves in bright light. The available LED Moonlight Glow flash can enhance selfishness in low light.
The Vivo V7 front camera can be used to lock the phone face detection. The experience is not as smooth (or progressive) as Apple has implemented on the iPhone. Lighting conditions affect your experience, and face recognition does not work in some cases. This is common for most Android smartphones that have tried to implement this feature.
The Vivo V7 packs a 3000 mAh battery but does not support fast charging. We reserve a note on battery performance until we can thoroughly test it throughout the review.
