Chinese smartphone maker Vivo has added another refreshing new color option its X9 model. This is coming barely three months after the Vivo X9 Matte black was added to the lineup. The X9 has now got a cool blue color variant that really tweaks things up and infuses some fresh blood to the X9’s sales especially as it comes out in the bright summer.

On the looks, the Summer Blue color variant of the X9 comes with the same refreshed, premium and sleek look but with more attractiveness. With this new addition, the Vivo X9 now comes in Blue, Rose Gold, Gold, Star Gray and Matte black colours. The X9 is currently on a promotional offer that brings the price down to 2,589 Yuan, 200 Yuan off.

On the specs angle, the Vivo X9 Blue variants till features a 5.5-inch Full HD display and is powered by a 2.0GHz Snapdragon 625 chip with a 4GB RAM providing some support. The X9 also comes with 64GB of internal storage and packs a built-in 3050mAh battery under its hood.

Vivo last week announced that it would add a Matte black color variant to the X9 which was launched last year, coming in just gold and rose gold variants. Vivo has now officially listed the Vivo X9 Matte Black version up for sale and sales is already on, with the new version still clutching the same 2798 Yuan (around $406) price tag the earlier color variants launched with. As if that isn’t enough, Vivo is also offering a Bluetooth headset along with each purchase.

On the looks, the Matte Black color variant of the X9 comes with a refreshed, premium and sleek look. The display seems to have been changed from the Super AMOLED screen on the gold and rose gold versions to a JDI display on this new color version. The thickness of the device has also seen an increase of 0.27mm but that doesn’t affect the feel of the phone as it still has a compact build.

On the specs angle, the Vivo X9 Matte Black still features a 5.5-inch Full HD display and is powered by a 2.0GHz Snapdragon 625 chip with a 4GB RAM providing some support. The X9 also comes with 64GB of internal storage and packs a built-in 3050mAh battery under its hood.

The Vivo X9 was launched alongside the XPlay 6 and X9 Plus late last month and came with a front dual camera setup as its main highlight. We bring you both the unboxing images of the device as well as its teardown images.

Vivo did a good job in the X9’s design and that is clearly revealed in the unboxing images which shows the device from different angles. As would be recalled, the X9 uses a fused antenna design just like the iPhone 7’s which sits at the edge of the phone. The rear camera is also tilted to the left corner at the upper edge while the LED flash is located beside it. The device also features super narrow bezels at the edges around the display and comes flat at only 6.99mm thick, weighing 154g.

The X9 features a 20MP + 8MP selfie camera combination, each sitting at either side of the earpiece. There is also soft flash for illumination. There is equally a capacitive home button and it functions as the fingerprint sensor.

Aside the unboxing images, the Vivo X9 also got the teardown treatment which unveils the internals and hardware. The teardown images shows the X9 might just be easily to repair if faulty. Also, the device is revealed to pack a non-removable battery.

As a reminder, the Vivo X9 features a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 pixels and 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.

As stated, the biggest feature on the X9 is obviously the front dual cameras which the device packs. The selfie cameras are composed of a 20MP Sony IMX379 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.

The Vivo X9 comes in just gold and Rose gold color variants and carries an hefty price tag of 2798 Yuan ( around $406) and already on sale in China.
