In an event in China, Vivo today unveiled the Vivo X9 and X9 Plus smartphones both of which feature dual front cameras, 20MP f/2.0 with Sony IMX376 sensor and another 8MP f/2.0 camera. The smaller 8MP camera is used to capture depth information for better selfies.

At the back, you have a 16MP f/2.0 camera on both phones with LED flash and phase-detection autofocus. Clearly, Vivo thinks that people are more interested in taking selfies. There is a subtle change in design at the back, where the antenna bands have been pushed to the periphery in a U-shaped curve.

Now coming to differences between the two phones, the Vivo X9 comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p full-HD AMOLED display with super thin 1.59mm bezels, 2GHz octa-core Snapdragon 625 and 4GB RAM. The X9 Plus has a larger 5.88-inch Super AMOLED display with full-HD resolution, Snapdragon 653 and 6GB RAM. Both have Android Marshmallow running on the inside with FunTouch OS 3.0.
