The company has already announced the specifications of the device so we know what the device will pack. Vivo V9 will come with a 6.3-inch LCD screen with 19:9 aspect ratio and 2280 x 1080 FHD+ resolution boasting 90 percent screen-to-body percentage with that iPhone X-like notch on the top.

The device will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 SoC with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage. Vivo will also give users an option to add a microSD card to the device for expandable storage.

Vivo has focused on its dual camera setup in its promotional material prior to the launch event. In the camera department, the device will come with a 16 MP camera sensor with an f/2 aperture and a 5 MP camera sensor for sensing the depth on the back of the device.

The company has not announced the pricing of the device which is likely to be the main reason of the event since we already know everything about the hardware of the device.
