Vivo V9 Youth, as the name suggests it comes to youth or today's generation who want the smartphone with more functions and features but does not buy because of the price range. So, this is for them with just only Rs. 17,499. With some extra and advanced features, V9 launched in 2018. This smartphone has a huge fan following and the selling market is at the top while this one was launched. But now, there are many smartphones comes in the Indian market in this budget so the sell of V9 is decreasing day by day but not so much. Performance is so nice that you can do all your tasks here without feel much difficulties. The mobile phone has a featured snapper to shoot the pictures in large image resolution.

When we talk about its battery life then it makes me concerned. The battery capacity is not so much high in this price range. Many other smartphones give us better battery life than this mobile phone. Sometimes, I get confused why Vivo does not give us more capacity of the battery when the price range is not so much less. Perhaps, some other reasons happen or we can say that every smartphone has at least one issue which creates the difference between two mobile phones. But it uses the latest operating system of Android 8.1 Oreo so you cannot have an issue regarding the performance in terms of its operating system. Daily routine tasks are easy to do on Vivo V9 Youth. Before discussing the features in details, let's discuss what's inside the box.

Inside the Box

Yeah, it will give you a high packaging style which is so attractive and stylish. Sometimes you get attracted to the box and buy it without seeing any features inside. It is funny but it may happen with some peoples who have no issue of budget. The arrangement of stuff in the box is so good and placed in the right position. The stuff they give you are given below:

• A handset
• User Manual
• Warranty card
• A Wired charger
• Earphones
• SIM ejector tool

This common stuff is fine to use the smartphone in a decent manner. Sometimes when you need more material then you can purchase it from the shop. All the stuff are easily available in the Indian market but I do not think that you want to waste your time and money. These are sufficient for proper use. The box in the different color which looks great and when you open the box, you see that all the stuff are packed in covering material in a proper way so that you can easily take it from the box. Now discuss all the specifications in details.

Design and Build Quality

Vivo delivers a good designing smartphone for you with a large display which makes you comfortable while watching videos, episodes, live streaming, web series and much more. You can easily access the internet here. The dimension of Vivo V9 Youth is 154.8 x 75.1 mm with a thin thickness of just 7.9 mm and it is much easy to hold in your fingers and put in your jeans or pants because of its less weight. The weight is just around 150 grams and you have options to choose from the different colors like Pearl Black and Gold. The smartphone in Gold color looks awesome but Pearl Black color give you a decent look because the outer covering of camera is filled a champagne gold border.

This gold border outside the camera makes a smartphone stylish and not on the camera, this borderline is present on the fingerprint scanner. This highlights the camera part and fingerprint sensor at its back. The body is built with a metal with no home button is present at the front side. All the edges are curved and at the right edge, a volume rocker button and lock button is present with the empty left edge. One thing you need to know and I think it is an advantage for you that its SIM slot is at edge means you will insert the SIM in the SIM tray which is present at the right side.

But you need to keep the SIM ejector tool safe otherwise you may face problem while inserting the SIM in the SIM tray because you cannot open the tray with your hand. You need to use some needle. You get a curved edge phone which is much easy to hold or use. Overall, there is no issue in the quality of design. You get a good and strong smartphone from the Vivo. There is a Glass protection also through which you protect your large screen from the scratches and other external things. A responsive touchscreen gives you an interactive experience with this smartphone.

Display

Vivo V9 Youth comes with a large touchscreen display of 6.30 inches which helps you to browse the internet, watch movies and see larger text on the bigger display. The display is so smooth and runs fastly so that you can access the mobile phone with your single hand. The screen gives you 400 pixels per inch density which helps you to see the image and text and play games here without difficulties. The 2.5D Cornilla Glass protection helps you to keep the mobile phone safe from external threats like scratches and many more things. There is no home button present on the screen part and that is the reason for its large screen because it covers the part of the home button also. I think this is the very first smartphone in this range which comes with this size of the display.

If you want to do your daily tasks here then it is fine for you but if you want to use the mobile moderately then sometimes sit may happen that you will face some difficulties because it has used the latest operating system but the RAM and processor are average. Vivo V9 Youth has a great display size with good features. Viewing angles are superb and color saturation is unique and there is no bezel present. The smartphone has the facility for face detection. I describe all the features in the remaining specifications. Overall, the display size is above the average and quality of brightness and color is awesome. You will not face any problems related to the screen.

Performance and Storage

Vivo introduces this smartphone with the latest operating system that is Android 8.1 Oreo with the processor speed of 1.8 GHz which is amazing according to the price. This speed will help you to access the apps faster and if you are a multitasker then this smartphone suits you. It uses an Octa-core processor of Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 with the graphics of Adreno 506. These graphics will help you while gaming. You can play many games here like Mario, Contra, Mini Militia and some heavy games. But this smartphone is not built for 3D games.

Perhaps you can install the heavy games but when you want to play these heavy games then you may face issues like hanging issue, slow speed, etc. So you cannot enjoy heavy games on Vivo V9 Youth. I frankly tell you if you want a smartphone for heavy games then tries to search for another smartphone. This will not fulfill your needs or expectations.

Vivo V9 Youth gives you an internal memory space up to 32 GB with the RAM of 4 GB. This RAM is sufficient for the mobile according to its budget because every smartphone comes in this price range does not give you more RAM capacity in other brands also. Some brands give you more RAM but then another performance is not good. You can expand the memory space by using external SIM slot up to 256 GB which offers you to store more data into this smartphone. But I suggest you not to store the data which you do not want to use in future because it will affect your processor speed and your mobile speed will go down. Overall, the memory will not disappoint you.

Front and rear shooter

Vivo V9 Youth will give you an awesome quality of rear dual camera with 16 megapixel plus 2 megapixel facility. This pixel is enough to capture the good quality pictures. The LED flashlight is just average at the night but if you click the pictures in the sunlight then you will get a decent and without any noise pictures. The picture which you will get from the rear camera is so clear with high image resolution and not get distorted. You can get 1080 pixels resolution after the video shoot. It is the common resolution which you can get from other smartphones also. While you upload the pictures in the social websites then it will help you to get more likes and nice comments. I know it sounds little weird that I am telling you this but that was my own experience.

Although the front camera does not give you a feature of dual selfie camera, it gives you a high-resolution selfie with same pixels as uses by the rear camera and that is 16 megapixels with LED flashlight. the camera with you a decent picture with some special qualities like autofocus, phase detection, dual LED flashlight with some common features like Geo-tagging, face detection, HDR, Panorama, and touch focus. Hence, the camera quality is nice and give you good quality pictures in the dim light as well as daylight.

Battery of Vivo V9 Youth

A Li-ion battery of 3260 mAH capacity is perfect to use the smartphone for a whole day. But I expected more capacity of the battery from the Vivo this time because Vivo does not give users a decent and great battery back up in previous smartphones and Vivo V9 Youth also disappoints me from the battery. You can use all the apps here for a long day but if you use heavily then it will not give you longer battery life. Almost 3 to 4 hours battery backup is offered and then you will get the lower battery signal. No fast charging and wireless charging is available so you need to keep your charger with yourself to charge the mobile phone on a regular basis. There is an inbuilt battery means the fixed battery is present which you cannot remove it. Hence, this will give you an average battery life.

Pros and Cons of Vivo V9 Youth

This smartphone has some good features but some parts will disappoint you which is given as follows:

Battery is just average.

No fast charging or wireless charging facility.

Less RAM size.

Some pros of V9 Youth are:

Large Screen Size.

Latest operating system.

Great Camera quality.

Good designing.

Should you buy it???

Vivo V9 Youth is a great smartphone which especially comes into the market for youth. Because our young generation always demands the smartphone with good features and an average budget. But this will not fully satisfy the users because of the less battery back up. You may get more battery capacity and high RAM in other smartphones but if we talk about its camera then the performance is awesome and give you good pixel pictures. So now it depends on you according to your need. If you have an addiction of clicking pictures then you can buy it without any more discussion because it is just at Rs. 17,499 but if you want a smartphone with high battery backup then you can try to go for some other smartphone.
