Vivo X7 and X7 Plus

By now you may already have heard about the vivo X7, since the Chinese smartphone has been in the news a lot lately, either through various rumors and leaks, or even some official teasers. It's going to finally become official at an event on June 30, possibly alongside the bigger vivo X7 Plus.Some of its specs have already been confirmed by the company, one teaser at a time. Thus expect the X7 to feature the Snapdragon 652 chipset and 4GB of RAM, along with 64GB of storage and a 16 MP front-facing camera. Like all recent phones that aren't low-end, it will also tout a fingerprint scanner under its screen.
And this is half of the focus of the leaked promo video you can see above. The X7's fingerprint scanner is put to the test, speed-of-unlocking-wise, against the iPhone 6s Plus and Galaxy S7 edge
, which vivo seems to imply will be its handset's main competitors. Spoiler alert - the vivo X7 turns out to be faster than both of those when it comes to unlocking using your fingerprint.
But that's not all. An app load test (the type you usually see in YouTube videos - load one app, go to the home screen, then load another, and so on) also renders the vivo X7 the winner in yet another ad-hoc competition with the iPhone 6s Plus and the Galaxy S7 edge.

OK, vivo, we get it. The point here is that the X7 will be one fast smartphone, despite not using Qualcomm's highest-end chipset (the Snapdragon 820). Too bad you probably won't (officially) see the X7 outside of China and maybe a handful of other Asian markets.

Vivo X7 and Vivo X7 Plus are officially going to be released in China on 30th June. The company has already revealed some of its specs. The phone is going to be powered by Snapdragon 652 processor and will come with 4GB RAM. Stuffed with 64GB internal storage and a 16MP front camera, the device will also get a fingerprint sensor embedded on the front home button.

Today, a new video has been leaked on the internet that shows the Vivo X7 being tested alongside the iPhone 6s Plus and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Two tests have been performed on camera. The first test is the fingerprint recognition speed, while the second test is to measure the app launching speeds. And guess what? The Vivo X7 easily beat the iPhone 6s and Galaxy S7 Edge.

Yes, it may be surprising, but the fingerprint sensor of the Vivo X7 acted faster and the phone launched apps faster. You can check out the test in the video below. Other rumored specs of the phone include a 3000mAh battery and a 5.2-inch Full HD screen. All the details will be revealed on 30th June at the official launch.
