For those unaware of V7 specifications, the smartphones carry 5.7-inch HD+ 18:9 display with a Snapdragon 450 underhood. The multi-tasking is ensured by 4GB of RAM while all the files are stored in 32GB which can be further expanded via microSD card support.
One Vivo V7 main selling point rests on its 24MP front-facing camera, with Portrait mode and a “Moonlight Glow” LED Flash ensuring the best quality for selfies even in dark environments. At the rear, the device counts with a 16MP single camera.
The smartphone runs Android Nougat 7.1.1 with FunTouch OS 3.2 running atop. The lights are kept by a 3,000 mAh battery. The new price cut should be a move taken in order to keep the V7 in fit for competition with other devices under the same segment, like the recently released Redmi 5 and 5 Plus.
