Unboxing the Vivo IQOO 9 Pro Global Edition flagship-style smartphone, with an early review of the gaming performance, camera tech, battery life and other bits after a couple of days of use.

The IQOO 9 Pro is one of the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phones, so expect games like Genshin Impact to run perfectly. You've got 5G support as usual, and solid battery longevity courtesy of the 4700mAh battery with 120W fast charge support!

Vivo's camera setup includes a 50MP Samsung GN5 sensor with gimbal stabilisation, plus an UWA and portrait lens. No telephoto shooter on the IQOO 9 Pro sadly, but it's good for everyday photo capture, 8K video recording and fisheye lens randomness.

That Vivo IQOO 9 Pro uses FunTouch on top of Android 12, which serves up all of the usual gaming modes and customisation bits. Media fans will also adore that LTPO AMOLED display, while the stereo speaker setup is perfectly respectable too.
