The Vivo X9 was released towards the end of last
year. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 and paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB
of storage, the X9 still falls under the mid-range category. Now, Vivo has announced a new color variant.
The new color variant is actually a limited NBA
Edition with a blue back with NBA’s famous logo engraved at the bottom. The
antenna lines are white and the front bezels are black. The NBA customization
is not limited to the surface alone, it also runs deep into the phone. The user
interface is NBA-themed in the form of wallpapers and icons.
The Vivo X9 NBA Edition will also ship with a NBA
key-ring, a water bottle, and a power bank. It will go on sale on the 10th of
May and will be priced at ¥ 2998 (US$ 435). That is ¥ 200 (US$ 29) more than the
other color variants which is not a bad price considering the extra goodies you
get.
The specifications remain unchanged for the Vivo X9
NBA Edition. The screen is still a 5.5-inch 1080p display, battery capacity is
3050 mAh, and the rear camera is a 16MP sensor. Up front, you get a dual camera
setup consisting of a 20MP main shooter and an 8MP sensor for depth of field.
