The Vivo iQOO Z9s combines premium curved-edge aesthetic engineering with sustained processing speed and generous battery life in the upper mid-range segment. Driving the smartphone is the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G octa-core processor, equipped with four high-performance ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.5 GHz and four energy-efficient Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz, coupled with the ARM Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. With up to 12GB of RAM (supplemented by virtual Extended RAM) and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, it effortlessly handles continuous multitasking, multimedia streaming, and modern gaming on Android 14 with Funtouch OS 14.
Visuals are showcased on an expansive 6.77-inch Full HD+ 3D Curved AMOLED display (1080 x 2392 pixels) with a 20:9 aspect ratio, 388 ppi pixel density, and an impressive 90.3% screen-to-body ratio. The panel delivers an ultra-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate (reaching an instantaneous 2000Hz touch response rate for rapid gaming actions), and a peak brightness of up to 1800 nits. Protected by scratch-resistant Schott Xensation Glass, the screen supports 1 billion colors, HDR10+, 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and Wet Touch technology for accurate input even with damp fingers.
For photography and videography, the smartphone is equipped with an AI dual rear camera configuration 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 and Vivo's signature Aura Light ring flash. The camera incorporates advanced AI photo tools including AI Erase and AI Photo Enhance, capturing crisp low-light photos and steady 4K UHD video recording at 30fps with gyro-EIS electronic stabilization. Selfies are handled by a 16 MP punch-hole front camera.
Despite housing a generous 5500 mAh lithium-ion battery, the smartphone achieves an exceptionally sleek 7.49mm thickness and weighs only 180 grams. It is supported by 44W FlashCharge fast charging and 7.5W reverse wired charging to power external devices. Completing the smartphone are dual stereo loudspeakers with a 300% audio booster mode, an in-display optical fingerprint scanner, IP64 dust and splash resistance, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and Dual 5G SIM standby connectivity.
