As its name suggests, Vivo V7 is the smaller sibling of Vivo V7 Plus which was launched in India a couple of months back. There are two color variants of the V7; Gold and Matte Black. Talking about the differences between the Vivo V7 and V7 Plus, the former comes with a smaller screen as well as a smaller battery. The specs and features of the newly launched Vivo V7 are down below.

Design and display

Design and display

The Vivo V7 adorns a metal unibody design with dual U-Type Silver lines running across its edges. Due to the metal unibody and edge-to-edge screen with non-existent bezels, the smartphone has a stylish and premium appearance.

Coming to the display, the smartphone is fitted with a 5.7-inch IPS FullView screen that delivers an HD resolution of 1,440×720 pixels and has the aspect ratio of 18:9. The bezels around the display are just 2.15mm in width. The screen to body ratio of the Vivo V7 is 83.6%. Needless to say, the device doesn't feature a physical home button as there is not enough space below the display.

On the rear panel of the smartphone, there is a single camera lens accompanied by a LED flash and a square-shaped fingerprint scanner. You can see the Vivo branding at the center.

The selfie camera also features several mode including Face Beauty 7.0, Natural Effect and Portrait Mode. The Face Beauty 7.0 comes into action even when users on on a video call. Additionally, there is a unique Face Access feature that lets users unlock their smartphone with facial recognition kind of feature.

As for the rear camera, Vivo V7 uses a 16MP sensor with the same aperture size of f/2. Moreover, the rear camera is equipped with PDAF and Portrait Mode as well.
