The smartphone can be used to capture spectacular images thanks to its triple camera setup, which includes 50 MP primary, 50 MP ultra-wide, and 16 MP telephoto lenses. It can also record videos at ultra-realistic 8K at 30 fps, 4K, and 1080p at up to 60 fps.

The Vivo iQOO 9 is equipped with the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, which can handle advanced applications and heavy workloads without any issues. It also supports 5G for a high-speed internet connection and low latency. The device runs on Funtouch 12 when shipped but can be upgraded to the latest Funtouch 13 OS to support the latest applications.
The smartphone has a huge battery capacity with an estimated battery life of up to 105 hours during usage (under normal circumstances). Its 120W fast charger can get the battery from empty to full in 20 minutes. Alternatively, it can be charged using a 50W wireless charger.
Drawbacks

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 was reported to be overheating under a moderate workload. Additionally, although the device has been launched in some regions, it is yet to be launched in the US. Users in the country will need to import the device, which completely eliminates the cost-saving factor.
Conclusion
The Vivo iQOO 9 Pro is ideal for users who want a flagship smartphone without spending a lot of money. The device can handle advanced apps without any significant or noticeable lags, providing a premium experience to its users.
However, as mentioned earlier, the product is still not available in the US. Importing it will likely cost a big amount of money, which can be used to purchase a better flagship smartphone.
