Vivo X9s

In terms of design, both the smartphones feature the similar design language of Apple iPhone 7 with the antenna bands running across the top and bottom of the rear, adding better cellular reception. Also, the design is unchanged from the recently launched Vivo V5 Plus, which is the world’s first smartphone to feature dual cameras at the front.

Continuing its trend of packing insane front cameras, the Vivo X9s and X9s Plus has dual selfie cameras of 20MP and 5MP. Both the sensors have an aperture size of f/2.0. The company has downgraded the secondary front camera from 8MP to 5MP. However, Vivo says that the 5MP sensor offers better background blur effect, clear focus, and more artistic sense than the previous one. The selfie cameras also come with support for an LED flashlight.

Vivo has added a 16MP rear camera on both the phones with f/2.0 aperture and LED flash. The Vivo X9s comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD display, while the X9s Plus has a larger 5.85-inch Full HD display. The X9s Plus uses a slightly powerful Snapdragon 653 chip, whereas the Vivo X9s settles with the Snapdragon 652 chip.

Both the devices offer connectivity options such as 4G LTE, VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth, GPS, and micro USB port. It’ sad to see Vivo using the micro USB port in its flagship phones in 2017. A fingerprint scanner is built right into the home button of both the phones.
