Vivo V9 will officially be launched in India today at 12 pm. The company is hosting an event in Mumbai, where the premium mid-end smartphone will be showcased for the first time. Vivo V9 will have an uncanny resemblance to the iPhone X based on the leaks and teaser the company has put out. However, Vivo V9 is said to cost half the price of the iPhone X, and that’s probably the reason why the phone is getting so much attention from users in India. Bollywood actor Aamir Khan will be seen promoting the Vivo V9 smartphone in India.
Vivo’s new smartphone – the V9 – will be launch in India today. The event will start at 12pm on March 23, which is today. Those who’re interested can watch the Vivo V9 livestream on the company’s Facebook page. Alternatively, one can get the latest updates about the Vivo V9 by following Vivo’s official Twitter handle.
Vivo’s new Vivo V9 has an edge-to-edge display that dominates the entire front of the display. The smartphone has a screen-to-body ratio of 90-per cent and notch at the top, similar to what we saw on the iPhone X. That’s not a bad thing though – the phone does look nice. That display is 6.3-inches, with a 19:9 aspect ratio and a Full HD+ resolution. On the back, you’ll find a vertically aligned dual-lens camera system, along with the Vivo logo and a fingerprint scanner.
