Vivo Xplay 7 leak hints at bezel-less display, dual-camera setup and more

Vivo Xplay 7 will be the successor to last year's Xplay 6 smartphone.

Vivo has been long rumored to be launching a new phone called, Xplay 7. The smartphone’s USP is said to be an under-display fingerprint sensing technology developed by Qualcomm. Now, the smartphone has been spotted on Weibo, which reveals what the upcoming smartphone will look like.

The first thing that the renders reveal is that the Vivo Xplay 7 will be available in black, gold and pink colors. The leaked images show the smartphone flaunting a bezel-less full-screen design. Leaks suggest that the smartphone could boast nearly 100 percent screen-to-body ratio. At the top of the display, you can spot two cutouts which can either be dual-selfie cameras or a selfie camera and a sensor. At the back, the Vivo Xplay 7 is seen featuring a dual-camera setup at the center of the device. Two antenna lines can be seen passing through the top and bottom of the device.

As mentioned, the under-display fingerprint scanner will be the upcoming smartphone’s USP. This technology was introduced by Vivo earlier this year at Mobile World Congress, Shanghai. This tech is based on Qualcomm’s ultrasonic fingerprint sensors. It eliminates the need for a dedicated fingerprint scanner to unlock or authenticate. The sensor is such that it is placed underneath the display. 

In terms of specifications, rumors hint at a 6-inch edge-to-edge display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. It is also speculated that the phone will be available in two variants – 128GB and 256GB, both will be paired with 8GB of RAM. The dual-camera setup at the back is expected to include a combination of 12-megapixel + 8-megapixel snappers with LED flash. Rumors also suggest that the phone will come with a Sony IMX401 sensors that will support for 4x optical zoom. Keeping the phone ticking will be a 4,000mAh battery. On the software front, the phone is expected to run on Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box.
