Vivo V7 is equipped with a 16MP camera on the back with an F / 2.0 aperture lens and an LED flash. Up front, however, is a 24MP sensor with an f / 2.0 lens, this one without an LED flash, but is able to simulate the bokeh effect.
There is an Auto HDR on the V7 and we recommend leaving it on. We found it very clever because it fired HDR shots whenever needed. Vivo's approach to HDR processing is mature, keeping the spotlight and bringing more detail into the shadows. This also reduces noise in dark corners, which is another reason to rely on Automatic HDR mode.
Photo enthusiasts will be pleased to find a Professional mode, and it's one of the better-made ones we've seen.
captures overall likable photos with sufficient detail, with very well-defined foliage.
Colors are pleasantly saturated, a little warm too, but in a good way. There is noticeable noise, especially in the skies, but nothing that much to get in the way of fine detail. Dynamic range is decent, and we rarely had to manually engage the dedicated HDR mode.
