It seems that vivo has officially confirmed on their official weibo page stating that the vivo S9 series will come equipped with a Dimensity 1100 chipset, as well as UFS 3.1 storage. Unfortunately, there’s not much else that’s officially known other than what was mentioned, so you might want to check out the official online launch that’s happening on 3 March 2021.

We have been writing some news about the vivo S9 for quite some time now, but there was no official release date until today. That's changed now as the company just released a new video teaser of the phone which will release on 3 March 2021 in China first.

A few weeks ago, MediaTek announced that the vivo S9 will be the first smartphone to feature a 6nm MTK Dimensity 1100 chipset. Here, we found a leaker - Digital Chat Station who mentioned that the device will come with a 44MP selfie camera.

It seems that a weibo user by the name of Digital Chat Station has recently posted an update, stating that the upcoming vivo S9 5G will come equipped with a 90Hz display, 33W fast charging and up to 64MP image sensor. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea on what to expect when it is officially available in the local market.

Earlier, MediaTek has announced two 6nm chipsets that are the Dimensity 1200 and 1100. The former has been reported to be used in several smartphones but there was no news for the Dimensity 1100. Now, a source is claiming that the vivo S9 will be the first to enter the market with the chipset.

Rumour has it that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 will come equipped with a side mounted fingerprint scanner for the cheapest variant as opposed to having it in the rear like the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+. It will also feature a 5.8-inch flat Infinity Display as well compared to the other variants of the S10. The others will instead come equipped with an Under Display Fingerprint Sensor similar to that of the VIVO X21, hinting that the upcoming devices will also feature a thin bezel along with a 6.2-inch display for the mid-range variant and a 6.44-inch display for the most expensive variant of the S10.
