Design and Build Quality of the Vivo V7 Smartphone

It’s an important point where it comes with the metal-bodied smartphones they’re pretty commonplace in the budget and mid-range segments. But, miserably, the Vivo V7 Smartphone doesn’t seem to have gotten with this program. The body looks like it could be metal from far away. But, it offers a plastic body that’s just like the V7+. Despite that, we didn’t have any issues with the fit and finish of the chassis and buttons. The tapering edges don’t offer the best grip but the on the whole size of the phone makes it easy to hold. If we say about the display of the Vivo V7, it’s a 5.7-inch IPS FullView display. Thanks to the 18:9 aspect ratio that fits into a body usually meant for a slighter sized screen.

Although there’s just enough space at the top for the earpiece, front camera, and sensors, the bezels on all sides are pretty thin. The phone’s HD+ resolution is a bit substandard because we like to see Full-HD+ as an alternative. It has chrome trim running alongside the edges of the phone for some visual appeal for its chrome-plated antenna bands running across the top and bottom of the back. As we like the physical feedback of the buttons, their position is also good quality.

Currently, it supports Google Play Movies, Facebook, Youtube, MX Player, WhatsApp, and the video, file manager, messages, and calculator apps. Furthermore, the V7 offers the face recognition feature while unlocking it when you raise it to your face. Although it works well even in not-so-great ambient lighting, fails to work in low light. When you’re turning ‘Quick recognition’ off, it means that it’ll take a bit more time to unlock your phone.

Performance and Cameras of Vivo V7 Smartphone

The Vivo V7 is a very good performer and can handle most tasks very well with everyday use. But, we didn’t get any overheating difficulty. Indeed, when we’re gaming the phone hardly ever got warm.

But, what we really like of the Vivo V7 Smartphone is the speed at which the camera captures. Also, the way that saves photos, while making it possible to take pretty sharp selfies. Even you can do it when on you’re moving about on uneven roads. But, the rear camera has a 16 MP sensor with a f/2.0 aperture that’s just like the selfie camera. When taken under good lighting selfies have pretty good detail.

The fitted battery of 3000mAh lasts up to 10 hours, 56 minutes when we test the HD video. We easily managed to go a full day and then some on a single charge with regular use. Although it has no fast charging support, the battery does fill up much quicker with the bundled adapter where we’re able to get to around 60 percent in little more than an hour. Since the battery usage graph is missing, you could download a third-party battery manager and see the same information.
