Vivo has officially taken the wraps off the Vivo X9 and X9 Plus alongside the XPlay 6 today in China. The Vivo X9 comes having as its major highlight a front-facing dual camera setup, a first for Vivo. This makes the device a hot favorite among selfie lovers and besides that the device also comes with a well packed specs line-up.

Design & Hardware

The Vivo X9 features a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 pixels with a pixel density of 401 ppi. The display is further protected with the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The device also comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor supported by a modest 4GB RAM. There is also 64GB of internal storage inside the device.

On the design, the Vivo X9 features an all-metal body with the same fused antenna band design as found on the iPhone 7. The device also features super narrow bezels at the edges around the display. The V9 itself comes flat at only 6.99mm thick and weighing 154g.

As stated, the biggest feature on the X9 is perhaps the front dual cameras whih the device packs. The selfie cameras are composed of a 20MP main sensor and an 8MP depth of field sensor. We had earlier seen some teased sample images said to have been shot by the X9’s selfie shooter and they are not disappointing at all. Going further, there is also a 16MP rear camera with LED flash which should hold its own in being capable of delivering crisp clear photo shots.

The X9 also crams a 3,050mAh built-in battery under its hood and runs on Vivo’s custom Funtouch OS 3.0 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The device also has the AK4376 HiFi audio chip onboard which is capable of delivering improved audio output.

Pricing

The Vivo X9 comes in just gold and Rose gold color variants and carries an hefty price tag of 2798 Yuan ( around $406). The X9 would officially go on sale in China via both offline and online channels on November 24.

Ahead of its launch slated for later today, the Vivo X9 has featured in a set of leaked renders courtesy of popular tipster @kjuma. The renders show the device having a white-colored front face around the display while it comes with silver color at the back, which is most likely one of its color variants.

The front view render shows the device’s most potent offering which is the front dual camera, with both sensors sitting at one side of the front earpiece while the proximity sensor is at the other end. The device is also shown to have a physical home button at the front which would likely function as a fingerprint scanner.

At the back, the main camera is located at the top left corner of the device, with an LED flash lying at its side. The Vivo X9 also comes with an antenna band design that is similar to those on the iPhone 7. We are beginning to see more devices adopting this form of antenna band design, by the way. The phone also features a design with narrow bezels around the display screen.

We had earlier seen the key specifications of the Vivo X9 and X9 Plus via a leaked box casing. However as a reminder, the X9 features a 5.5-inch Full HD display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and an unspecified Snapdragon processor which is tipped to be the Snapdragon 625 chip. The front facing cameras are a combination of a 20MP sensor and an 8MP sensor with soft light, and there is a 16MP shooter on the rear.
