Vivo has managed to control the weight of this phone, it is 150 grams.
There are 3.5mm headphone jacks, microUSB ports and loudspeakers grills on the lower back. We did not like the position of headphone jack.

Vivo has reduced the camera resolution in Vivo V9 Pro. It seems that the company has taken this decision to manage the pressure in the budget due to the powerful processor. The pictures taken from the camera of V9 Pro were sometimes good and sometimes bad. The exposure was accurate in the light of the day and it focused according to our desire. At first glance, the photo seemed fine, but the lack of details started to be visible as soon as they zoom in. Macrose came with shot details, but it took longer to focus according to our desire. Edge detection in portrait mode was sometimes right and sometimes wrong.

Screen flash proves effective in low light. Portrait mode is also available for selfie camera and its edge detection is good.

The footage comes due to lack of video stabilization. We found that you can activate beautification mode during video calls or during video calls. There is no major impact on the output of the camera sensor changing.
Our decision
Vivo has kept the price of V9 Pro more aggressive than other products including Vivo V9. This phone has a powerful processor and more RAM does not have problems with multitasking. But this time a separate camera sensor has been used to keep the price low. The good thing is that it has not had a huge impact on the camera performance. The Vivo V9 Pro with Rs 17,990 is cheaper than Vivo V9 which is still list for Rs 18,990. In such a situation, we can suggest you to buy a Pro model without hesitation.
