The main selling point of the V7 is its front camera and we have a 24MP, f/2.0 front-facing sensor which has a selfie portrait mode and supports HDR. Selfies, are for the most part, clear and crisp, which is not surprising, given the focus of Vivo’s phones on delivering good selfies. The battery life for the V7 is pretty good (3000 mAH).
