VIVO X7 has ROM 64GB which can meet our needs to store app or other large files, but it doesn’t support TF card expansion. It uses Snapdragon 652 processor and RAM 4GB which belongs to high-end standard and enough to use conveniently for better performance and game experience.

VIVO X7 is powered by the second generation  compound eye image stabilization and the  algorithm of light view to strengthen, taking advantage of Snapdragon 652 ISP performance, even if we take photos in dim light, it can still shoot nice pictures. VIVO X7 can shoot at least 5 photos continuously by 13MP back camera. It has F2.2 big aperture, PDAF, OIS.  We choose the sunny day at the noon, but VIVO X7 exposure algorithm is inclined to shooting the sunny day to cloudy day effect, so it will not be so over exposure, the disadvantage is to miss some dim details about the pictures.

And it takes only one hour and half an hour to charge full and it improves its overheating problem than before. VIVO x7 uses dual SIM card dual standby and 4G LET, the download speed has improved 100% in 4G LTE network in theory, due to Snapdragon 652 X8 LTE modem and VoLTE technology, which can call while surf the Internet.
