Vivo V9 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 is the perfect phone for gamers on the go  

Through the years, the smartphone has become an extension of its users. It has evolved from a basic tool for communication to an all-around tool for entertainment. Today’s smartphone is no longer used just for making calls or texting. It has become so powerful to accommodate complicated games without sacrificing its basic features—or it should be.

But not many smartphones are as gamer-friendly as the newest Vivo V9.

Inside every Vivo V9 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 octa-core processor for a more powerful smartphone performance.

The Vivo V9 is equipped with the top tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 octa-core processor. This mobile platform comes with the Adreno 506 series GPU that promises advanced graphics and a smooth performance for a longer period.

The chipset also offers longer battery life with the efficient 14nm FinFET process technology. The Snapdragon 626 also comes with the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ 546 DSP, which provides battery-efficient user enhancements to a smartphone’s audio and video capabilities.

The AI Game Mode of Vivo V9 also allows gamers to talk to people while they are still playing their favorite gaming applications if they are connected to the Wi-Fi. It also has a Picture-In-Picture feature that allows gamers to use social messaging applications even in the middle of a game.

The Vivo V9 also has an improved gaming keyboard, which is a mini version of the TouchPal Keyboard. It can also intelligently allocate and optimize processing resources through the Smart Engine to ensures a smooth and seamless experience for gamers.
