On the front of the Vivo X27 is seated a powerful and large 6.39-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display which boast of a 91.64% screen-to-body ratio. The bezels around the screen have been greatly trimmed, as well as the small chin that is at the bottom of the smartphone, which gives it an overall premium look.
You will not be able to find a notch on the smartphone because it was completely removed. Are you wondering if there are no selfie cameras? Of cause there is. But, it was strategically housed in the pop-up selfie shooter, which allows comes up whenever you want to take a selfie.
On the back of the smartphone, you will see arranged camera setup which holds a triple camera with a powerful LED flash, all vertically positioned by the left side. Still, on the back, you will also find the responsive fingerprint sensor, which can be used to lock and secure the phone.
