T’S ASTONISHING THAT A WORD WHICH WASN’T EVEN A PART OF
THE LEXICON FIVE YEARS BACK HAS HAD SUCH A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON AN ENTIRE
INDUSTRY. IT WAS ALMOST FIVE YEARS AGO THAT OXFORD DICTIONARY OFFICIALLY
DECLARED ‘SELFIE’ AS THE WORD OF THE YEAR. THE DICTIONARY EDITORS HAD THEN SAID
THAT, “THE WORD HAS EVOLVED FROM A NICHE SOCIAL MEDIA TAG INTO A MAINSTREAM
TERM FOR A SELF-PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPH.” THE SELFIE PHENOMENA SINCE THEN HAS GROWN
MULTI-FOLD, SO MUCH SO THAT THERE’S AN ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM AROUND IT. SMARTPHONES
HAVE BEEN THE SINGLE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR IN THE WHOLE SELFIE CRAZE. PERHAPS IT
WON’T BE A GROSS EXAGGERATION TO SAY THAT CERTAIN BRANDS HAVE THRIVED AND
SURVIVED JUST BECAUSE OF SELFIES.
ONE SUCH BRAND IS VIVO AS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SELFIE-CENTRIC SMARTPHONES. THE RECENT ADDITION TO VIVO’S ARSENAL IS THE VIVO 9 – ITS FLAGSHIP DEVICE OF THE YEAR. A 24MP SELFIE CAMERA, AN IPHONE X-LINE NOTCH, BIGGER DISPLAY – ON PAPER VIVO V9 LOOKS LIKE A PHONE TO RECKON WITH. BUT AS THEY SAY, THERE’S MANY A SLIP BETWEEN THE CUP AND THE LIP. WE USED THE VIVO V9 FOR A FEW DAYS AND HERE’S WHAT WE THINK OF IT:
VIVO V9 DESIGN: NOTCH, GLASS FINISH POLYCARBONATE BACK
“IS IT THE NEW IPHONE?” “WHEN DID YOU BUY THE IPHONE X?” WERE SOME OF THE QUIPS WE FACED AS SOON AS SOMEONE SAW THE VIVO V9 WITH US. THERE’S NO DENYING THE FACT THAT VIVO V9 IS HEAVILY ‘INSPIRED’ BY APPLE’S LATEST FLAGSHIP. AND IT’S NOT SOMETHING THAT ONLY VIVO IS GUILTY OF AS THE MARKET IS SOON GOING TO BE FLOODED WITH A BUNCH OF IPHONE X CLONES. AS YOU GET PAST THE WHOLE IPHONE X ANGLE, YOU DO REALISE THAT VIVO HAS WORKED HARD ON THE DESIGN. TO BEGIN WITH AT JUST 150 GRAMS, THIS IS A SERIOUSLY LIGHT DEVICE FOR ITS SHEER SIZE. THE SCREEN SIZE IS 6-INCH PLUS BUT MORE ON THAT IN THE DISPLAY.
THE FRONT OF THE DEVICE IS COMPLETELY TAKEN OVER BY THE IMPRESSIVE SCREEN WHICH HAS ALMOST 90 PER CENT SCREEN-TO-BODY RATIO. AT THE BACK YOU FIND ANOTHER IPHONE X SIMILARITY – THE VERTICAL DUAL REAR CAMERA SET UP. THE FINGERPRINT SCANNER AND THE VIVO BRANDING ALSO FIND A PLACE AT THE BACK OF THE DEVICE.

THE BACK HAS A GLOSSY FINISH AND THE REVIEW UNIT WE GOT
AS IN CHAMPAGNE GOLD COLOUR. THE VIVO V9 HAS AN ALUMINIUM BACK AND THE DEVICE
IS 7.9MM THICK. IT’S A SURPRISINGLY EASY TO USE DEVICE CONSIDERING ITS SIZE.
THE OTHER USUAL SET OF SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDE THE 3.5MM AUDIO JACK, SPEAKER
GRILLE AND MICROUSB PORT WHICH ARE LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM. THE LEFT SIDE IS HOME
TO THE HYBRID SIM SLOT WHEREAS THE USUAL SUSPECTS LIKE THE POWER BUTTON AND
VOLUME ROCKERS FIND A SPACE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.
VIVO V9 DISPLAY: 6.3-INCH FULL HD+, 19:9 ASPECT RATIO
AS MORE AND MORE USERS TURN TO THEIR SMARTPHONES FOR WATCHING VIDEOS OR OTT CONTENT, DISPLAY HAS CLEARLY EMERGED AS A CRITICAL ASPECT. BEFORE WE GET INTO THE DISPLAY EXPERIENCE, LET’S GET THE SPECS OUT OF THE WAY. THE VIVO V9 THE SMARTPHONE FEATURES A 6.3-INCH FULL HD+ (1080X2280 PIXELS) IPS DISPLAY WITH CORNING GORILLA GLASS 3 ON TOP. THERE’S ALSO 2.5D CURVED GLASS AND A 19:9 ASPECT RATIO. AND THEN THERE’S THE NOTCH. THE NOTCH IS THE MOST PROMINENT PART OF THE DISPLAY AND WHILE IT’S BORROWED FROM APPLE, THERE’S A LOT OF DIFFERENCE. THE NOTCH ON VIVO V9 IS MUCH SHORTER AND HAS THE SELFIE SENSOR AND SPEAKER. CREDIT TO VIVO FOR DOING A FINE JOB OF INCORPORATING IT SLEEKLY IN THE NOTCH.
