vivo X7 and X7 Plus
vivo has officially
unveiled the X7 and X7 Plus smartphones. The
two models share plenty of components, but there's a few notable differences as
well.
Both flavors of the X7 are powered by the same Snapdragon 652 chipset, there are 4GB of RAM
on board and internal storage is roomy at 64GB. The smaller vivo X7 comes with
a 5.2-inch display, while the X7 Plus is the phablet of the pair, with a
5.7-inch diagonal. Both are FullHD Super AMOLEDs.
Back to similarities, the
X7 and X7 Plus both come with a 16MP selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture lens.
The primary shooters are different though, the X7 gets a 13MP f/2.2 unit, while
the X7 Plus is treated to a 16MP Sony IMX298 sensor. Both have phase detection
autofocus and an LED flash.
As part of the chipset
bundle you'd be getting 4G connectivity with Cat.7 LTE, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 4.1
and a GPS receiver. The X7 and X7 Plus are dual-SIM devices, too. A fingerprint
reader in the home button comes standard, as does an AK4376 32-bit DAC. Less
exciting is the Android version - 5.1 Lollipop is a bit dated already. There's
the obligatory Funtouch OS layer on top, in its 2.5.1 incarnation.
The vivo X7 measures
147.3 x 71.8 x 7.2 mm and weighs 151 gr. The Plus, you guessed it, is larger, but
we don't have the numbers just yet. What we do have is the battery capacities -
vivo has kept it simple and the X7 comes with a 3,00 0mAh power pack, while the
X7 Plus relies on a 4,000 mAh cell.
The vivo X7 will be
available on July 7, and it'll set you back CNY 2,498 (US$ 375).
