Vivo V7+

Vivo’s latest offering, the V7+ proves to the world that an all-screen display doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag. But beyond the screen, I got the chance to take a closer look at what it has to offer in an already saturated smartphone market.

DESIGN

The V7+ is not a completely bezel-less phone, but it’s damn close. The border around the phone is hardly visible, and it doesn’t take away from the initial awe one would get upon seeing the phone for the first time.

The phone’s silhouette is uniform and in keeping with how phones look today—a thin slate of plastic and glass—clean and minimalist, pretty. The buttons are well-placed as well as the fingerprint sensor at the back. The semi-glossy plastic unibody may be a cost solution, but in this case it works. It provides much needed texture without being an oil-catcher. All in all, it is a nice looking phone with a sturdy build that would not look out of place in today’s world.
