The Mid Range Fight: Vivo V5 Vs Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime

Chinese handset maker Vivo recently launched the Vivo V5 in India. It’s basically a phone which is entirely targeted at selfie enthusiast. In case you don’t know, let us tell you that it comes equipped with a whopping 20-megapixel front-facing camera, which is highest in the market at this point. We are going to compare the Vivo V5 with the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, which is priced almost similar as the Vivo V5. So let’s find out whether it’s a win-win situation for both of them or not.

Vs

Vivo V5

----

Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime

Build & Design:

In terms of the design and looks, the Vivo flaunts a metal unibody construction whereas the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime also crafted in all metal body. So, we can easily put it this way: Both the devices feel premium and comfortable to hold. In spite of that, the Vivo V5 is comparatively slimmer and lighter than the Galaxy J7 Prime.

Both the phones sport a bigger 5.5-inch display, but it’s also worth that the display size is not everything. It’s also about the display resolution which plays a major role in the decision-making process. This is where Samsung leads the flight as it features a 1080p Full HD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection as opposed to the 720p HD on the Vivo V5 having no screen protection at all.

Performance:

Moving on, powering the Vivo V5 is MediaTek MT6750 processor whereas what powers the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is Exynos 7870 processor. Here, the Exynos 7870 easily outranks the likes of MediaTek. However, the Vivo V5 packs  in 4GB of RAM whereas the Galaxy J7 Prime has a 3GB RAM running inside.

Camera:

Both, the Vivo V5 and Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime houses a 13-megapixel rear camera. Nevertheless, when it comes to taking selfies, it’s the Vivo V5 which is playing on the front foot. Even in terms of features and recording abilities, the Vivo V5 is way ahead than its competitor. It’s attributed to the Galaxy J7 Prime’s lack of 4K video recording support.

As far as the memory is concerned, the Vivo V5 comes with 32GB of internal storage which is expandable up to 128GB via microSD card. Samsung, on the other side, is partially on the downside with 16GB of storage. Even though Samsung phone has a lesser storage in comparison with the Vivo phone, it supports storage expandability up to 256GB. Finally, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime has a bigger 3300mAh battery as opposed to 3000mAh on the Vivo V5.

Conclusion:

Looking at this comparison, one thing is primarily visible that there is no clear winner here. If your requirement is for a good selfie phone, then you should straightaway consider the Vivo V5. However, if your need a phone with overall balanced set of specifications at best available price, then Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is a good option.
