Vivo V11 and V11i

Vivo just made the V11 and V11i official. They are the upgrade of the Vivo V9 which was launched 6 months ago. The Chinese tech giant updated its design, internals, and added more features fit on a 2018 smartphone. The Vivo V11 and V11i now has an glossy back cover design with stylish/glitter-like starry night or nebula color options.

Both devices are also loaded with a larger 6.4-inch 19.5:9 Super AMOLED screen. It even has a much smaller notch versus other mid-range phones. Vivo dubbed it as the "halo" notch. Inside, the jump coming from the V9 is HUGE. From the weaker Snapdragon 626, the V11 will come with the 2.2GHz 64-bit Snapdragon 660 AIE octa-core processor with Adreno 512 GPU. That chip is way faster and more intelligent than the Snapdragon 626. It is paired with large 6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB of expandable storage, and 3,400mAh battery.

They are also the first "mid-range" phone with an In-Display fingerprint scanning solution. Previously, that tech are only found on premium phones like the X21 and NEX S. Vivo also upgraded its cameras. It now has the 12MP f/1.8 + 5MP f/2.4 with Dual PD focus and dual-tone LED flash. For selfies, you will find a 25MP f/2.0 sensor with AI and screen flash.

The phones are also equipped with face unlock tech, CS43199 + SSM6322 HiFi chips, dual 4G connectivity, and dual SIM slots. It boots with Android 8.1 Oreo OS with Funtouch OS 4.5 and Jovi AI assistant. Jovi works like Bixby and Google Assistant combined.
