The Vivo iQOO Z9 is crafted to bring flagship-level processing speed, fluid gaming, and sharp imaging to the mid-range segment. Driving the smartphone is the class-leading 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7200 5G octa-core processor, equipped with two high-performance Cortex-A715 cores clocked at 2.8 GHz and six power-saving Cortex-A510 cores, paired with the ARM Mali-G610 MC4 GPU. Achieving an AnTuTu benchmark score of over 730,000 points, it easily runs demanding multiplayer titles and high-FPS gaming. Accompanied by 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM (alongside 8GB virtual Extended RAM) and fast UFS 2.2 internal storage, it guarantees snappy app launches and smooth multitasking.
Visuals are showcased on a vibrant 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display (1080 x 2400 pixels) with a 20:9 aspect ratio, 395 ppi pixel density, and an 86.83% screen-to-body ratio. The display delivers an ultra-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate (reaching an instantaneous 1200Hz response rate for gaming), and a peak brightness of up to 1800 nits. Protected by scratch-resistant Dragontrail Star 2 Plus glass, the screen features HDR support and includes an under-display optical fingerprint scanner.
For photography and videography, the device is equipped with an AI dual camera setup headlined by a 50 MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor (f/1.8 aperture, 1/1.95" sensor size, PDAF, and hardware Optical Image Stabilization), paired with a 2 MP depth sensor. The Sony sensor delivers clear, noise-free low-light photos, portrait bokeh, and supports 4K UHD video recording at 30fps with gyro-EIS electronic stabilization. Selfies are handled by a 16 MP punch-hole front camera.
The phone houses a reliable 5000 mAh lithium-ion battery supported by Vivo's 44W FlashCharge fast-charging protocol, capable of filling the battery from 0% to 50% in roughly 30 minutes. Designed with sleek ergonomics, the device measures just 7.83mm in thickness and weighs 188 grams, completed with IP54 dust and splash resistance. Connectivity and multimedia highlights include dual stereo loudspeakers with Hi-Res certification, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Dual 5G SIM standby capability.
