Editorial report

vivo iQOO Z7i technical sheet

The vivo iQOO Z7i suits buyers looking for a basic 5G phone with dual SIM, though this version does not include Google Services. Its camera specifications are weaker than those of most phones launched around the same time: the resolution is 13 MP and the aperture is f/2.2. The 6.51-inch IPS LCD display has 720 × 1600 px resolution and 270 ppi density, lower than that of most phones from its period.

Its 5,000 mAh battery has a typical capacity for its time, while 15 W charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time. This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the vivo iQOO Z7i is also sold with 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. At 186 g and 8.2 mm thick, it is lighter and slimmer than most phones from its time. Its connectivity, performance and display overall are typical for phones launched around then. It includes 5G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi 5 and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

With a NeoScore of 4.6, the vivo iQOO Z7i is best suited to buyers who prioritize 5G, dual SIM and basic features and can do without Google Services. The camera, display density and charging are its main trade-offs against phones of its time; its lower weight and thickness are its clearest strengths.
