Vivo is focusing on making your photos better. The Chinese smartphone maker launched three new smartphones in its home country on Wednesday, all of which have strong photography skills.
Vivo X9, X9 Plus and Xplay6 are the three new phones by Vivo and they cover different price ranges to match the customers' needs. The standout feature in all three phones is the dual camera set-up. The X9 and X9 Plus sport dual cameras on the front, while the Xplay6 is a high-end device with rear-facing dual cameras.
Vivo launched the phones only in China and their international availability, especially in India, remains unknown at the moment. But the company recently launched its V5 smartphone with 20MP front camera to take on rivals such as Oppo, LeEco, Xiaomi and others. So, it might be a while before we see the company's X series hit Indian shores.
In China, the X9 smartphone is priced at ¥2,798 (approximately Rs 28,000) for the 64GB model and the 128GB model costs ¥2,998 (approximately Rs 30,000). Vivo Xplay6 is the most expensive model of the lot, costing ¥4,498 (approximately Rs 44,500), while the X9 Plus pricing wasn't announced by the company.
