The vivo V7 arrives in Malaysia with much of the same specifications at a cheaper price than the vivo V7+!

Smaller, cheaper, equally good?

Usually brands release their standard variant before bringing in the other variants. However vivo decided to do it the other way around, bringing in the vivo V7+ before the vivo V7. Priced at RM1299, the vivo V7 packs much of the same specifications in a smaller package.

The first difference is that instead of the FullView 18:9 5.99″ display of the vivo V7+, we have a FullView 18:9 5.7″ one here. Both sport the same resolution, so the smaller variant gets an advantage in terms of pixel density. Due to the smaller dimensions, vivo also had to put a smaller 3000 mAh battery into the vivo V7. The vivo V7 also offers less storage, 32GB to the vivo V7+’s 64GB.

That sums it up for the differences. The rest of the specifications are largely the same. Both devices packing the Snapdragon 450 octa-core SoC, 4GB of RAM, 24MP f/2.0 selfie camera and 16MP f/2.0 rear camera with PDAF. The cameras are designed to satisfy both selfie fanatics and photography enthusiasts at the same time, while the Snapdragon 450 mated to 4GB of RAM should offer sufficient performance for most of the popular games. Both devices also run Funtouch OS 3.2 based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat.

The vivo V7 is currently available for pre-order from 20th till 24th November 2017 on Lazada. Available in Crown Gold and Matte Black, the vivo V7 will officially hit stores on 25th November 2017, priced at RM1299.

Pokdepinion: For RM1299, the vivo V7 looks like the better deal. Storage is a non-issue with the microSD support. The smaller screen with the better pixel density seems more interesting, and the screen size might just offset any battery life differences brought up by the smaller battery.
