Vivo V7: Clearer Selfie within Your Reach (Review)


 
A few months ago Vivo Philippines launched their ultimate selfie centric camera phone, the Vivo V7+ which featured a 24 megapixel front facing camera that is so good in taking clear selfies and groufies.

This November 18, Vivo is bringing the clearer selfie experience closer to you with the more affordable Vivo V7, the V7 features a 5.7 inch IPS LCD Display with a 18:9 aspect ratio screen and with a 282 ppi pixel density.

The 5.7 inch screen gives out nice viewing experience, though it’s not the best I’ve seen in the market it is decent enough for watching videos, playing games, browsing, texting, etc.

Another thing that I liked about the V7 is its ergonomic design, just imagine a 5.7 inch screen packed in a 5.9 body, all corners of the screens are within the reach of your thump and fits right into your palm, less hassle for those who got small hands.

The V7 uses a Snapdragon 450 same as the one on the V7+, though the 450 isn’t the flagship chipset in the market today it fits right exactly to the V7 as it prolonged the life span of the 3000mAh battery that powers the smartphone, on my average use the V7 lasts for 8 to 10 hours using basic functions of the phone, taking photos, and heavy browsing online.

The performance of the V7 is superb, almost lag free, apps open up fast even with lots of apps running in the background, and gaming experiences is just right for me (I played Mobile Legends in this phone and I was satisfied with its performance though sometimes the ). The 4GB RAM also played a good part in making the V7 run smoothly.

Going to the main point of this review, the Camera. The front and rear camera got a contrasting performance for me, yes the 24 megapixel camera takes really superb photos with or without a good lighting hands down it is one of the best selfie camera I used although I really don’t like the beautify feature as it almost if not erased the face of the people I’m taking a selfie with, I still prefer the normal mode.

Okay on the rear camera, the 16 megapixel camera didn’t deliver that well, it struggled so much in taking good photos in lowlight condition, but with good and enough lighting it was able to capture at least decent photos.

In taking videos the V7 can capture 1080p videos, though it still struggles in dim light set up and sometimes the level of noise that it captures worsen if you zoom in the subject, but I am happy with the quality of the sound that it records plus the speaker of the phone is also a good one despite being positioned at the bottom part of the device.

The V7 runs on Android 7.1.2 with Funtouch OS 3.2, I am not a fan of Android OEM’s own OS and Funtouch wasn’t exempted to it as bloatwares floods the phone thankfully some of the apps pre-installed in the phone can be removed and uninstalled to free up space.

 When it comes to the V7’s security features, first the rear mounted fingerprint scanner is just so fast and very responsive, second is the facial recognition which is nice to sometimes it is having problem detecting my face especially when I am lying down.
 
 To wrap things up the Vivo V7 is a good phone, if you are looking for a phone that is ergonomic, affordable, and loves to take selfie/groufie this one is for you. The whole experience using the phone was above average I actually liked it, the battery last longer than I expected, the selfie was really superb! And at Php 14999 I guess it is not bad for a midrange device with a spec that can be on the higher end.
