GadgetGuide4U Opinion
Vivo V7 features 5.7-inch HD+ FullView 2.5D curved glass display with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels, 18:9 aspect ratio. On paper, somehow the display looks good but in real life situations the display is not good as it will not provide immersive view & whole purpose of full view is defeated. The Vivo V7 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor which is again a big downside for such a hyped smartphone. The smartphone will hang quite frequently and switching between apps is not smoother. Apart from this, if you play high-end graphics game the smartphone hangs a lot and I’m sure either the smartphone will heat up or it lags and your gaming experience will be interrupted quite frequently. The Vivo V7 doesn’t offer fast charging option. If you like to click selfies whole day then only you can buy it, as you will get 24MP selfies. Although Vivo touts that Vivo V7 has 24MP selfie camera can anyone from Vivo tells the sensor name or which sensor they are using for it?
If you are planning to buy this smartphone, then it’s recommended that you must look for better options like Xiaomi Mi A1, Moto X4, etc.
