Vivo launched S9 and S9E, and here are the specifications, the price and the date of release. Vivo is a brand that has gained worldwide presence, where all of its smartphones have already been upgraded to Android 11. The manufacturer continues to introduce new phones, which we expect to arrive in our country as well. Its two new smartphones are the Vivo S9 and the S9e, two smartphones that fall within the upper middle range of the brand.
These new Vivo S9 and S9e are devices of a similar design to the S7t recently introduced. What is interesting is that the S9 is the first phone to use Dimensity 1100, a MediaTek processor that has not yet been officially presented.

Design
These two devices are of the same design, with an AMOLED panel of 6.44 inches in size, which is also the same size and design as we saw in the S7t a few weeks ago. We have two cameras on the front of the Vivo S9, the same as the Vivo S7t, while the S9e leaves us with a single 32MP sensor. The panel also has a 90Hz refresh rate.
The Vivo S9 is the first to use MediaTek's Dimensity 1100, a processor that is not yet official, so little is known. Although it appears to be the brand's high-end chip, it also provides 5G connectivity as standard in this case. The Vivo S9e uses Dimensity 820, a mid-range chip that we already know, which we've seen on different phones so far.
The rear cameras are the same for these two devices: a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor and a 2MP macro sensor. A good combination of sensors that we've seen a lot in mid-range and high-end Android. Also, both come with Origin OS as an Android 11-based gui.
As far as the battery is concerned, the Vivo S9 comes with a capacity of 4,000mAh, with support for 33W quick charging. The S9e has a slightly larger 4.100 mAh battery, although nothing has been said about its quick charging.
