Vivo V9 Pro Review

BBK technologies are quite confused over their line-up all the time and this time they have included almost the same devices in all the three brands, OnePlus, Vivo, and Oppo. While the devices look the same, they do have different internals and this does distinguish most of the part, but coming to the end result of the same, the devices of different price bracket are going to look almost the same.

Today we are going to talk about the all-new Vivo V9 Pro which is going to be in the market with the all-new Snapdragon 660 AI Processor and hence we will be looking forward to the unique features which the phone carries to influence the buyers for the phone.

Design & Build

Design of the phone is quite unique as per Vivo’s standard because Vivo does have a slightly girly theme over to its devices and the same is not evident with this smartphone. Vivo V9 Pro has a squarish design over to the fingerprint scanner which is square actually and is placed exactly above the Vivo branding which is in the middle of the back side of the phone.

At the bottom, we have the phone written as Designed by Vivo. At the rear, we have the rear camera flaunting as a dual camera unit placed vertically on the top left corner of the device. The flash unit on the all-new Vivo V9 Pro is placed towards the bottom of the same.

Talking about the device’s build quality the phone is built on an Aluminium unibody shell and that makes the phone capable to deal with most of the drops and bumps. Later what helps is the Gorilla Glass Protection which is a great deal to protect the device from scratching up. When you will hold the device you will get a sense of security and premium feel from the phone, which makes the phone into an upmarket device.

Display

We get a remarkable display on the Vivo’s V9 Pro which carries a screen size of 6.3 – inches. The screen is a FullView 2.0 display type which is actually a code name for a screen with an aspect ratio of 19:9 as per Vivo. The display covers the front of the display up to 90% which is a great number.

As it is evident by the build of the phone due to the larger bottom bezel, the phone is carrying an IPS LCD Screen which is capable of producing over 16 million colors. These colors are going to be vibrant and as well as well saturated; all this is protected with the help of a Gorilla Glass on top of it which is an old one still is going to do the job effectively.

Talking about the performance of the display it is quite great, all the colors look vibrant on the first look, and despite it being an IPS LCD panel the blocks on the phone look fantastic. Saturation and contrast fall on the right spot of settings and hence the look of the phone stands out.

If you are a daytime user who uses the phone mostly in the out in bright sunlight, then you might have issues holding the phone as the screen is reflective and you are going to see a lot of reflections, this can be minimized by using a good quality screen protector on the display. During the night the brightness is low enough to not to hurt your eyes.

Performance

Vivo V9 Pro happens to have the best in class chipset for any mid-ranged device; it is the Qualcomm’s top of the line, Snapdragon 660 AI variant. This results in the phone having the best in class performance, especially in its price point because there are not many devices featuring the same chipset so far. Assisting the chip is 6Gigs of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage.

All these are going to help in the performance of the chipset, and will even help you to store as much as games you would need in the coming days to play on your mobile phone.

When it comes to day to day usage the all-new Vivo V9 Pro happens to rock the stage, Snapdragon 660 AIE processor is one of the best for doing all the AI calculations and at the same time producing the best output for the games and apps that we throw on it.

All are like small balls that a bat have to hit, and this results into the processor handling the most of the tasks with ease, the only thing that it struggles is the really heavy games with high graphics that too only in the really intensive positions where it either looses 1 or two frames or it tends to heat up. Rest is fine with the processor and it proves its claim to be the best.

Camera

Vivo has loaded the phone with the dual camera module at the back which contains a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor. On the front, we happen to have an AI selfie camera which is a 16MP one.

All the different features of the phone include the AI mode and this makes the phone extraordinary as the processor does a great job in including and processing these entire modes in the best perfect way possible.

On the rear, all the work is doing by the processor where it is quite evident on the cropping of images for the Bokeh mode, and even other AI modes where the back camera is made to shine. Even the images at the night are quite great and hence the back camera shines in every possible order that the phone can actually shine.

Talking about the 16MP front camera it is a great unit, and even on this sensor, the phone includes the AI mode and hence this results into the same result which are found on the back. Hence at the end of the day both the camera gives the best in class images. Its the night time where the front camera of the Vivo V9 Pro struggles and that is all due to the aperture value of the front lens.

Battery

Coming with a 3260mAh battery it is quite efficient for the phone to have a good amount of juice to be running the day long. As the Vivo V9 Pro happens to have many different features based on AI and hence there is a special AI mode for monitoring the battery and this will surely be helping the device in order to make it a better seller.

Because the phone happens to come with an overall great battery life where the standby time of the phone is great and even the usage time goes well over 7 hours when you are watching videos and making phone calls.

Verdict

Vivo V9 Pro is a great device that for sure is going to help you with your daily needs. It has all the basic components that people require in their device. It comes with a best in class battery life, it comes with the best in class camera, the processor is really great, and the looks of the phone are what it loots away the money from the buyer.
