The Vivo V9, successor to last year’s Vivo V7 series, has gone official with a fullscreen display, dual rear cameras and a large front facing camera, as expected. The mid-ranger comes pre-loaded with Funtouch OS 4.0 (based on Android Oreo OS) and powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 mobile platform.
Housed in a metal plus glass body, the V9 has a notched 6.3-inch FHD+ IPS 19:9 display with 2.5D curved glass, 90% screen-to-body ratio and 1.75mm slim bezels. It has a dual rear camera setup which includes a primary 16MP camera paired with a secondary 5MP camera for capturing depth information.
The front facing camera has a 24MP sensor with A.I face beauty and support for Face Unlock.
