The vivo iQOO Z9s 128GB is Vivo's 2024 smartphone featuring a 6.77 inches, 110.9 cm2 (~90.3% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Mediatek Dimensity 7300 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5500 mAh battery. Available in India from ₹22,999.
The vivo iQOO Z9s 128GB excels with its 5500mAh battery delivering all-day endurance and 44W wired charging that refills 0–100% in under 50 minutes, plus a 120Hz AMOLED display hitting 1800 nits peak brightness for crisp outdoor visibility. Its octa-core chipset with four 2.5GHz Cortex-A78 cores sustains smooth gaming at 60fps in titles like Genshin Impact for over 45 minutes before throttling. Ideal for students and delivery riders in hot climates who need long battery life, fast charging, and a bright screen for outdoor use. The lack of NFC is a critical flaw for contactless payments in India’s cashless economy and UAE’s transit systems. In UAE at AED N/A, it’s overpriced because competitors like the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ offer NFC and better cameras at similar cost. In India at ₹22999, it’s recommended—no other phone under ₹25K combines 5500mAh, 44W charging, and 120Hz AMOLED with Android 14 upgrade promise.
