Display
The Viwa i7, comes with a 4 inch display. This display size, is quite small for this day and age. You might struggle using apps and watching videos.
However, if you just want a basic, cheap android phone, then this is the way to go. You get a capacitive touch screen.
Viwa i7 Storage and Performance
When it comes to performance, the Viwa i7 comes with an octa core processor. This has a clock speed of 1.3GHz. This ensures that you can run most apps on the device.
Multi tasking is handled by 512MB RAM. You cannot run very many apps at the same time on this smartphone. However, you can do some basic multi tasking.
This Viwa mobile has 8GB of internal storage. If you’ll install a few apps, then this can serve you well. However, I recommend you use a memory card. The i7 supports up to 32GB of expanded memory capacity.
Cameras
The Viwa i7 comes with some basic cameras. At the front, you get 2 megapixels. Expect basic picture quality. The device also comes with an LED flash at the back.
For the selfie camera, you get 0.3 megapixels. Definitely, this will take some poor quality snaps. However, that is not the main strength of this device.
Camera features include geotagging, touch to focus and panorama.
Battery Capacity and Connectivity
Powering the Viwa i7, is a 1500mAh battery. If you use this moderately, during the day, it can last until evening without recharging. The small display and efficient processor contributes to this.
Connectivity options in the phone include 3G, 2G, micro USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
