Chinese phone maker Vivo launched V9 last month, and now the company has silently launched V9 Youth, a cheaper version of the smartphone. The V9 Youth is priced Rs 18,990 and will be available from offline retailers across the country. Similar to the V9, the V9 Youth features a Full View display with pretty thin side bezels and almost 90% screen-to-body ratio. It sports the same 6.3-inch FHD+ (1080×2280 pixels) IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top.

The 2.5D curved glass display on the front also has a 19:9 aspect ratio and a screen notch. Though similar to iPhone X, the notch on V9 Youth is much shorter and houses the selfie camera and a speaker.
Under the hood, the Vivo V9 Youth is powered by a 1.8GHz Octa-Core Snapdragon 450 14nm processor with Adreno 506 GPU. It has 4 GB RAM and 32 GB of storage with an option to expand storage up to 256GB. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have 6GB RAM option and also there’s no information on a higher storage variant.
As for optics, the V9 Youth has a dual camera system on the rear. A 16MP primary sensor with LED flash and a secondary 2MP sensor combine to form the dual camera module. The device also has a 16MP front camera with soft LED flash. The cameras support bokeh mode, AI Face Detection, beauty mode, 4K video recording and high dynamic range (HDR) imaging as well.
