Vivo, in an event at Lahore today, announced the launch of its two new smartphones in Pakistan – an affordable Vivo V9 Youth and an entry-level Vivo Y71.
This is worth mentioning here that the company had made the two smartphones available in the market while unveiling the two in the event at Faletti’s hotel, Lahore. Vivo disclosed about the successful launch of Vivo V9 a few weeks ago and the company brought a cheaper version of that phone to reach more consumers, dubbed as V9 Youth.
V9 Youth offers exactly the design as V9 and packs with a little trimmed down hardware components at a price that’s more affordable for masses. The new phone looks good at its design as there is no difference from the V9. There an accent of champagne gold color around the camera module and fingerprint scanner. You can take a look at our first hands-on with Vivo V9 to find more about the design.
90% Screen-To-Body Ratio
The V9 Youth has a state-of-the-art 19:9 aspect ratio FullView™ Display 2.0, with an amazing screen-to-body ratio of 90%. The super-sized 6.3-inch display fits perfectly in a compact body no larger than a traditional 5.5-inch phone, offering an incredibly immersive experience for watching videos and gaming.
The 90% screen-to-body ratio and 1.75mm thin bezels, make this phone stand out of the clutter, while delivering the best viewing experience.
Dual Rear Camera with AI Bokeh
