The vivo iQOO Z9s 256GB 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 ₹25,999.
The vivo iQOO Z9s excels with its 5500mAh battery delivering all-day endurance and 44W wired charging that refills 0–100% in under 50 minutes, while the 120Hz AMOLED display with 1800-nit peak brightness ensures crisp, vibrant visuals even under direct sunlight. Its Dimensity 7300 chip handles daily multitasking and mid-tier gaming smoothly, backed by Android 14 with two guaranteed OS upgrades. Ideal for students and office workers in hot climates who need long battery life and a bright screen for outdoor use, without needing flagship cameras. The 16MP main sensor lacks OIS and struggles in low light, and the absence of NFC limits contactless payments—a critical flaw in India’s digital economy. In UAE at AED N/A, it’s overpriced compared to rivals like the Poco X6 Pro with NFC and similar specs. In India at ₹25999, it’s a solid pick if you prioritize battery and screen over payments or low-light photography.
