Vivo Announces V9 With Dual Cameras And a Notch

Vivo is the latest company to copy the iPhone X design, in its latest high-end V9 phone. It has a 90% screen-to-body ratio, with a notch at the top.

Design and Display

The display at the front is a 6.3” IPS LCD, with an unconventional 19:9 aspect ratio and a Full HD+ (1080 x 2280) resolution.

As mentioned earlier, it looks like the iPhone X, albeit with a smaller notch and colored accents on the cameras and the sides of the phone.

Internals and Storage

Powering the phone is Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 626 processor, with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB expandable storage.

Running the phone is Android 8.1 Oreo, which features Vivo’s Funtouch OS on top of it.

Camera(s)

At the back is a dual-camera setup, with a 16 MP shooter plus a 5 MP shooter, likely to create the bokeh effect. It is accompanied by a dual LED Flash and a fingerprint rounding things off at the back. It also comes with AI beautifying features.
