Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro

The Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro has a conventional, non-folding form factor measuring 163.7 mm tall, 75 mm wide, and just 8 mm thick, with a total weight of 190 g and a volume of 98.22 cm³. It carries an IP64 rating, meaning it is water resistant and protected against dust, though it is not built to rugged standards. This level of ingress protection covers light splashes and everyday exposure without qualifying as a fully waterproof device.

The Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro features a 6.67″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2392 px and a pixel density of 393 ppi, delivering a sharp and vibrant visual experience. It supports both HDR10 and HDR10+, and includes an Always-On Display, though Dolby Vision is not supported. The panel has a 300Hz touch sampling rate, and there is no secondary screen. The display does not use branded damage-resistant glass.

The Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, a 4 nm chipset with an octa-core CPU configuration running at up to 2.63 GHz using big.LITTLE technology, a 6W TDP, and integrated LTE. Graphics are handled by the Adreno 720 GPU clocked at 950 MHz, with support for DirectX 12 and OpenGL ES 3.2. The device comes with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM running at 3200 MHz — expandable up to a maximum of 16GB — alongside 256GB of internal storage, and achieves an AnTuTu benchmark score of 866,100. A maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s, multithreading support, 64-bit compatibility, and ARM TrustZone security round out the platform's technical profile.

The Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro features a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 50 MP main sensor (f/1.8) and an 8 MP secondary lens (f/2.2), both using CMOS technology without a back-illuminated sensor. Optical image stabilization is built in, and autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus for photos, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. The main camera supports 4K video recording at 60 fps along with slow-motion capture, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. There is no optical zoom. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, but manual shutter speed is not included; additional shooting modes include burst, panorama, and timelapse. Flash is provided via two LED units in a standard configuration — no dual-tone, RGB, or front-facing flash is present. The 16 MP front camera has an f/2.5 aperture, is a single-lens setup, sits in a standard position above the display, and has no dedicated flash.

The Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. On the customization side, the OS supports dynamic theming, theme customization, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while focus modes and app offloading are absent. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, customizable notifications, sharing intents, widgets, and the ability to play games while they download. On-device machine learning is supported alongside offline voice recognition and voice commands, and the device can track its own position and operate as a multi-user system. Wi-Fi password sharing, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not included, and OS updates do not come directly from the platform vendor.

The Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro is equipped with a 5500 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 80W wired fast charging, allowing for quick top-ups via cable. Wireless charging is not available, and the battery is non-removable. A battery level indicator is included, giving users a clear read on remaining charge at a glance.

The Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro includes stereo speakers but omits a 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired audio requires an adapter or USB-C headphones. On the wireless audio side, none of the high-quality Bluetooth codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported. There is also no built-in radio receiver.

The Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro supports 5G connectivity alongside Wi-Fi 4, 5, and 6 (802.11ax), and comes with a dual SIM slot with no external memory expansion. Bluetooth 5.4 is on board, while NFC is absent. The USB Type-C port runs on USB 2.0, and there is no HDMI output. Download speeds reach up to 5000 Mbit/s with upload speeds of 160 Mbit/s. For navigation, the device includes GPS with Galileo support, a compass, gyroscope, and accelerometer, though a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and ANT+ are not included. Security is handled through a fingerprint scanner, with no iris scanner or 3D facial recognition present. Additional features such as crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, DLNA certification, motion tracking, optical tracking, a built-in projector, and a stylus are all absent.

The Vivo iQOO Z9s Pro features a curved display and includes a video light for use during video recording. The screen is not sapphire glass and is not an e-paper panel.
