Vivo V7+ review: Go for its decent selfie camera, 18:9 aspect ratio screen

Vivo V7+

The selfie-centric Vivo V7+ boasts two interesting features that are increasingly becoming mainstream among smartphones developed for young users – a screen with 18:9 aspect ratio, and a fantastic selfie camera.

With a growing charm for selfies among millennials, a lot of attention is being paid to the front camera – commonly referred to as the selfie camera – in newer smartphones. While the Vivo V7+ checks this box with a massive 24-megapixel front camera, its screen aspect ratio of 18:9 is also an attraction. China-based smartphone maker Vivo has been one of the first adopters of the 18:9 aspect ratio screen, which was introduced by LG in its flagship G6 early this year.

Business Standard reviewed the Vivo V7+ FEATURES and here are our observations:

Display
One of the key benefits of an 18:9 aspect ratio is that it allows a bigger screen to fit in a small chassis. The Vivo V7+ sports a 6-inch screen in a compact body, hardly bigger than that of a 5.5-inch smartphone. Unlike traditional screens with pointed edges, the next-gen screen in the V7+ has rounded edges resembling the curves of the phone chassis.

The screen is bright and the touch is super-responsive. However, what tempers the experience is its HD+ resolution (720 x 1440), insufficient to cover the 6-inch screen. The result: the screen looks pixelated and dull, more so while watching movies, TV series or other multimedia types. In games, too, the screen lowers the immersive experience.
