After launching the Vivo V7 in Indonesia and China, the company has now launched the smartphone in the Indian market at a launch event in New Delhi. Vivo V7 is the watered-down version of the previously launched Vivo V7 Plus.

On the optics front, the smartphone features a 16-emgapixel f/2.0 rear camera with phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and a single LED flash. However, the highlight of the device is the front-facing camera, which comes with a 24-megapixel lens.
