From The Verge: Vivo has announced its latest flagship phone, the V9, and no surprises — there’s a notch. The V9 has a 6.3-inch 2280 x 1080 LCD with a 19:9 aspect ratio; Vivo says the notch helps achieve a screen-to-body ratio of 90 percent.
The V9’s spec sheet is pretty standard, for the most part: there’s a Snapdragon 626 processor, 4GB of RAM, a 3260mAh battery, 64GB of storage, a microSD card slot, a Micro USB port, and a headphone jack. The phone runs Vivo’s Funtouch OS 4.0 skin atop Android 8.1 Oreo.
The camera system has a primary 16-megapixel sensor and f/2 lens paired with a secondary 5-megapixel unit for depth information and blurry backgrounds. As it often does, though, Vivo is prioritizing selfies — this time with a 24-megapixel f/2 front-facing camera.
If you’re thinking that might be a little too much detail for a flattering selfie, Vivo believes AI is the answer. A feature called AI Face Beauty uses machine learning to identify users’ age, sex, skin tone, and texture in order to “truly represent their beauty,” as the company puts it. There’s also a selfie lighting feature that sounds very similar to what Apple introduced on the iPhone X and 8, though Vivo is attempting to pull it off with a single (albeit high-resolution) camera. Stay tuned for how that works out.
