Vivo to launch X9S and X9S Plus next month

Chinese manufacturer's new smartphones are expected to be selfie-centric

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Vivo has started sending out press invites for a launch event that will be held at Bejing on July 6 for its products, Vivo X9S and X9S Plus smartphones, according to Gizbot.

On the invite, there is a model with a Vivo phone in her pocket. On closely looking at the phone you can see that the rear panel of the upcoming smartphone looks very similar to that of its predecessor. It has a metal body design and the one in the photo seems to be a Gold colour variant.



The main camera is placed at the top left corner and there is a LED flash at the side. Other than that we cannot make out what are the changes the smartphone brings.
