Speaking of the specifications, it sports a 6.32-inch display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Because of the absence of a front facing camera in the bezel, the device can boast of an impressive 91.64 screen to body ratio. It also houses an in-display fingerprint sensor. It is the first handset in India to launch with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 platform that boasts of fourth generation Kryo cores and the Hexagon DSP.
Speaking of the front camera, it rests in a housing that pops up everytime you need to use it. This isn’t a new feature and has been used in the Vivo Nex but it is the first time a front facing camera has used a 32MP sensor. At the back, the smartphone has a triple camera setup equipped with a 48MP main camera, an 8MP super wide-angle camera that can capture 120-degree images and a 5MP sensor that enables bokeh shots. The 48MP camera uses 4-in-1 pixel binning to deliver better quality images even in low-light conditions. A 3700mAh battery powers the entire package.
