Configuration brief

In terms of configuration, major upgrades for the vivo X9s include processor and battery capacity. On the processor side, the vivo X9s uses the more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 instead of the previous generation's Qualcomm Snapdragon 625. On the battery side, vivo X9s' battery capacity has increased from 3000mAh in the vivo X9 to 3320mAh, and the body size has remained basically the same.

The hardware configuration of vivo X9s and vivo X9s Plus is mainly different in the aspects of processor, screen, battery and HiFi hardware. Vivo X9s Plus's battery capacity has also increased compared to the X9 Plus, while the body thickness is still a lot thinner. It is worth mentioning that the vivo X9s Plus for the first time added a DSP chip image optimization technology, which can help us shoot high-quality, accurate exposure photos, balance the brightness of the highlight area to normal brightness, close to the human eye The effect of shooting speed has also been greatly improved.

Appearance: familiar formula, familiar taste

The appearance of vivo X9s relative to vivo X9 has no obvious change, or a typical family style. Although there have been no drastic changes in design, this style has long been a symbol of fashion.

The slightly dense openings on the front face are quite eye-catching. From left to right, there are a 5 megapixel sub camera, a 20 megapixel main camera, an earpiece, light and distance sensors, and a front soft light. The front dual camera plus soft light has become a symbol of the vivo X series.

The front part of the front panel is more noticeable because it is a waist-type fingerprint identification Home button. You cannot press or touch to return to the homepage. The Home button is flanked by multi-tasking keys and return keys, and lights will be lit when clicked. Unfortunately, the X9s's fingerprint recognition key does not use the Underglass design, so under the black panel, it will inevitably produce a certain color difference with the surrounding. Actually used, the speed of unlocking the fingerprint sensor is neat and there is no extra animation effect.

On the screen, the X9s are 5.5-inch 1080P resolution and are made of Super AMOLED, covered with a fifth-generation Corning Gorilla Glass. AMOLED screens are colorful, power-saving, and slim. The actual experience, X9s this screen did not deliberately show its bright color characteristics, color tuning and general LCD screen is not much difference. The overall experience is also relatively clear and transparent, and the brightness is enough to read in the sun. Of course, the popular eye-protection mode X9s has not fallen.

Borders, X9s continues X9 above the COS narrow border technology, white edge + black border overall narrow to 1.59mm, the screen accounted for up to 78.5%, ultra-high screen ratio than when people play games and watch videos more There is impact and visual enjoyment.

The X9s uses a metal-integrated body design. The middle frame is connected to the back with no gaps. In the box, it is still familiar with the design style, CNC metal cutting edge light flow, so that the soft beauty adds a bit of metal texture.

The back of the fourth generation of mirror sandblasting process, 10 nanometer fine 205 zircon sand coating, feel more smooth, brighter color. In addition, the natural curvature of the middle frame and back rounded transition, but also brings a very good sense of grip. The dome U-shaped antenna design makes the whole body look seamless.

All in all, it is still a familiar recipe, familiar with the taste. Vivo X9s are excellent in appearance and workmanship.
