With the midrange segment saturated with so many devices, and with each brand claiming they are the ones to beat, consumers are often left with the question, “Which one should I get?”
Well, that’s why we’re here, to help you make that decision, or at least, narrow down your choices. Today, it’s going to be between the recently-launched realme 7 and vivo’s current headliner for its mid-range lineup, the V19 Neo.
Given that the latter received a price drop not so long ago, they’ve ended up being priced close to each other – PhP14,990 for the realme, and PhP15,999 for the vivo. Both brands also prefer their names to be written with the first letter in lower case.
Before we get on with the nitty-gritty, let’s take a look at the basic specifications.
