Well now, after more than three months, Vivo has launched another variant of the V9 that comes with better processor and more RAM.
The new variant of the V9 that has been launched by Vivo is powered by Snapdragon 660 SoC which is coupled with 6 GB RAM. However, while this new variant does comes with more powerful SoC and more RAM, the camera department has received a downgrade.
The Snapdragon 626 SoC + 4 GB RAM variant of the Vivo V9 launched in March sports dual camera setup at the back which is a combination of one 16 MP and one 5 MP camera. And on the front, there’s a 24 MP single camera for selfies and video calls. However, the Snapdragon 660 SoC + 6 GB RAM variant that has now been announced comes with 13 MP + 2 MP cameras at the back and a 12 MP camera on the front.
