Vivo X9s and X9s Plus officially announced with dual front cameras

I guess this comes as no surprise. After all we had already informed you about it during the previous days, so today’s official announcement of the Vivo X9s and X9s Plus models was expected.

The two devices are the company’s most recent flagship smartphones and the successors of last year’s  X9 and X9 Plus models.

According to their official specs, their main cameras can be adjusted from f/0.95 to f/16 equivalent aperture. The two phones also boast a 16-megapixel front camera each, but only the larger X9s Plus (with its RK1608 DSP) can process RAW captures.
