vivo S9 to arrive on March 6 as the first Dimensity 1100-powered phone

Mediatek announced two 6nm chipsets and smartphone companies have already boarded the hype train, rushing to launch their devices with the new platforms. Xiaomi and Redmi already committed to releasing phones with the Dimensity 1200, now we have learned from a leakster that the vivo S9 will be the first phone powered by the Dimensity 1100 chip.

The new device will come with a 6.4” screen, but it will have a standard notch, not a waterdrop or a punch hole. It will host dual front-facing cameras - a 44MP main one and an ultrawide unit.

The vivo S9 is likely the V2072A phone that has already appeared on Google Play Console. It will come with 12GB RAM and Android 11 out of the box, likely with OriginOS on top. We also expect the screen to be an AMOLED panel, and hopefully, it will be sold globally, although the vivo S-series rarely get wide availability.
