Vivo has formally announced the V7 for global markets, taking the wraps off the phone’s hardware specs as well as pricing specifics.
Vivo is set to launch a mini or standard version of its V7+ phone, aka the V7, in India on November 20. Ahead of its India launch, Vivo has formally announced the V7 for global markets, taking the wraps off the phone’s hardware specs as well as pricing specifics. The V7 will come with the V7+’ hallmark edge-to-edge Full View screen — and an unusual 18:9 aspect ratio — only in an even smaller 5.7-inch form factor. It will also ship with the V7+’ 24-megapixel front camera.
Vivo launched the V7+ phone in India in September at a price of Rs 21,990. The Vivo V7+ is a phone banking heavily on design and camera capabilities. While Vivo phones are known for ridiculously high megapixel counts in their cameras, they’re largely seen as an iPhone tip-off from the get-go. The V7+ changes things, as it looks nothing like the iPhone. At the same time, the V7+ continues Vivo’s sheer fascination for ridiculously high megapixel counts in their cameras by offering a whopping 24-megapixel selfie shooter on the front. On the rear, the Vivo V7+ ships with a 16-megapixel camera.

The most striking aspect of the Vivo V7+ — as opposed to Vivo’s previous offerings – is its design. The V7+ is an edge-to-edge or bezel-less phone, which means much like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the LG V30, the V7+ has an unusually tall screen and an unusual aspect ratio of 18:9. Vivo calls it Full View: a concept that gives Vivo’s new phone a screen-to-body ratio of 84.4 per cent. The V7+ is a 6-inch phone, but because Vivo has shaved off much of the top and bottom bezels as well as the bezels on the sides, the phone occupies a smaller footprint. It feels smaller in the hands.
In terms of all-round design, the Vivo V7+ comes with a full-metal body with discreet antenna lines and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The phone comes with curved 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on the front. The V7, it’s safe to say, retains much of the design aesthetics of the V7+. Also, it hones the same camera credentials as the V7+.
In terms of hardware specs, the Vivo V7 comes with a 5.7-inch 720p Full View display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage which is expandable via a dedicated micro-SD card slot, Android Nougat-based Fun Touch OS and a 3,000mAh battery powering the whole thing. The V7 has globally been launched at around $300 which roughly translates to Rs 19,614.75.
