Editorial report

vivo S7 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The vivo S7 suits buyers looking for a slim, light phone who can accept a 60 Hz display as the main trade-off. At 7.4 mm thick and 170 g, it is slimmer and lighter than most phones of its time. Its design and display overall also stand better than most phones launched around the same time.

The 6.44-inch AMOLED display has 409 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones of its time. Its 60 Hz refresh rate, however, is lower than that of most. The camera is better than most phones launched around the same time, and its 1/1.72-inch sensor is larger than those in most phones of its time. Resolution is 64 MP, but there is no optical zoom.

Connectivity also stands better than most: the S7 supports 5G, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1. This configuration has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 256 GB. The 4,000 mAh battery has less capacity than those in most phones of its time, while 33 W fast charging is more powerful than what most offer. With a NeoScore of 5.7, the vivo S7 makes sense for buyers who prioritize a slim, light design, camera specifications and broad connectivity, and are willing to live with a 60 Hz display and below-average battery capacity.
