As for software, the smartphone runs Android 9 Pie-based Funtouch OS 9.
As far as imaging is concerned, the Vivo Y7s has you covered with three vertically stacked cameras at the back and a single selfie shooter at the front. The top-most rear camera is an 8MP wide-angle shooter, in the middle, we have a 16MP Sony IMX499 primary camera, and the third is a 2MP sensor that captures depth data. An LED flash is located just underneath this setup. Coming to the front, we have another 16MP AI selfie camera. A few of the standout features within the camera app include Pro Mode, Ai Beauty, Portrait, HDR backlight, panorama, and document correction.

This is a dual SIM phone that supports 4G VoLTE along with dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Since this phone has only launched in China thus far, there is a dedicated button that can be used to trigger Jovi AI.
