Vivo is gearing up to launch a new mid-range smartphone in Pakistan. The V7+ will be announced at an event tomorrow in Lahore.
Design and Display
It has an all metal build with antenna lines running on the top and bottom edge on the back. The V7+ unfortunately does not have dual cameras on the back, it does have a fingerprint sensor though.
V7+ has a large 5.99 inch “Fullview” display on the front. Just like the “bezelless” phones out there, it features a 18:9 aspect ratio albeit with a lower resolution (1440 x 720). The tiny bezels give a better sense of immersion so that’s a plus.
Internals and Storage
V7+ is strictly a mid-range offering an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage. Storage is expandable via a dedicated microSD card slot and the phone is dual SIM by default as well. This is a rarity in smartphones these days.
For the OS, the V7+ runs Android 7.1 Nougat with Vivo’s homegrown Funtouch OS 3.2 on top.
Camera, Battery and Price
The primary camera comes in at 16 MP with PDAF and a LED flash. The front camera is the main highlight of the V7+, with a 24 MP sensor.
Vivo has gone for a 3,225 mAh battery for the V7+ which seems adequate due to the low power SoC and low resolution display.
The smartphone will go on sale for around Rs. 36,500 in Pakistan. Official numbers should come out by tomorrow.

Only con will be that screen resolution but i’m happy to see the border less trend in smart phones.
Am using s8 plus…. U can change the resolution per app to get maximum screen display without losing quality. Like in playing 720p videos on Qhd+
Oppo Ka Dusra Naam ViVO (take Control)
oh the irony (or not)
Oppo, Vivo and One Plus are ALL OWNED BY THE SAME COMPANY !
wow, you finally hit one on the bullseye :p (even if coincidentally so)
“parent company”would sound better.
same thing
ya but oppo and vivo have to learn from oneplus to make goood phones at good price
Snapdragon 450 with 720p display for almost Rs.37k. Yeah, good luck selling 4 of these.
still better than many samsungs
not a proponent of the price though
…
expensive, but would have no qualms about a 2k res phone with a SLIGHTLY powerful SoC for the same price (with the rest of the feature set more or less same)
…
what ? something wrong ?
Xiaomi Mi MAX2 is far batter than this in price and specs wise,
I think Xiaomi MI Max 2 is better than vivo v7
wow SD 450 chip for 36K :-) Thanks but no thanks :)
just hd resolution ? Horrible.
