Vivo V9 specifications
The Vivo V9’s defining feature is the 6.3-inch Full HD+ (2280×1080) IPS display with a 19:9 aspect ratio. The display has a notch similar to the iPhone X, and it’s worth noting that the notch is increasingly being found on new Android phones this year. According to the company, the notch helps the phone achieve a screen-to-body ratio of 90 percent.
The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 system-on-chip. This particular SoC was launched back in 2016 as an incremental upgrade to the Snapdragon 625, and it has already been succeeded twice by the Snapdragon 630 and the Snapdragon 636. As such, its specifications aren’t anything to boast about, with eight ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.2GHz paired with the Adreno 506 GPU. The Vivo V9 has 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, along with a microSD card slot that supports up to 256GB expandable storage.
It has dual rear cameras, with a 16MP primary camera that has a f/2.0 aperture paired with a 5MP depth-sensing secondary camera that has a f/2.4 aperture. The camera has “Ultra HDR” mode. Vivo is known for placing more emphasis on the front camera, though, and the Vivo V9 doesn’t change this trend. The phone’s 24MP front camera has a f/2.0 aperture. It has a Portrait Mode, and also a selfie lighting feature that sounds similar to Apple’s implementation on the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X.
The company is also promoting various “AI” features in the phone, although some of them don’t have anything to do with machine learning. “AI Face Access” improves the accuracy of the face unlock feature, while “AI Attention Scanning” recognizes when the user is looking at the display and turns down the volume of notifications. More interestingly, “AI Smart Engine” handles storage management and app launching depending on user behavior. It’s worth noting that the functionality of the smart engine feature exists in Huawei phones.
The Vivo V9 has Face Unlock functionality, which works for App Lock as well. It’s powered by a 3260mAh battery. It has the usual connectivity options including dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and a microUSB port. The fingerprint sensor is placed on the back of the device. In terms of design, the phone has a glass back.
Its dimensions are 154.81 x 75.03 x 7.89mm, and it weighs 150 grams. The phone runs Vivo’s Funtouch OS 4.0 UI on top of Android 8.1 Oreo, which means that it’s required to have Project Treble support.
