Vivo holds grand launch and mall tour of the V9 at SM Mall of Asia

Fresh off announcing the V9 last March, smartphone brand Vivo recently held a grand launch and mall tour of their newest smartphone in the Philippines last April 21 at SM Mall of Asia. Joining the grand launch was Qualcomm Marketing Manager Dominikus Susanto, along with one of the hottest love teams in the Philippines – Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla (aka KathNiel).

The mall tour drew in a large crowd of Vivo and KathNiel fans, as they packed SM Mall of Asia for a change to see their idols and win a V9 of their own. Buyers of the Vivo V9 during the event also had a meet and greet with the two actors.

The Vivo V9 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor, which promises longer battery life, enhanced photography, and superior performance. Qualcomm’s Dominikus Susanto held a quick presentation of the Snapdragon’s 626’s features during the event.

Vivo Philippines’ VP for Sales, Hazel Bascon, also took the stage to thank their customers for the V9’s success. Vivo’s latest smartphone received over 18,000 pre-orders in just a few days after its launch last March 22.

Finally, Vivo Philippines Brand Director, Annie Lim, announced Vivo’s partnership with YouTube for YouTube FanFest 2018, which will take place in May.

The Vivo V9 is available now in Pearl Black and Gold colors for PHP 17,990. The phone is available at Cyberzone, Lazada, and other authorized shops nationwide.

Qualcomm Tech Seminar

After the grand launch, Vivo held a Qualcomm Tech Seminar for media attendees which was conducted by Dominikus Susanto. During the seminar, Susanto highlighted the performance and battery life capabilities of the Vivo V9’s Snapdragon 626 processor.

Susanto also went into detail on how the 626 improves upon its predecessor, the popular Snapdragon 625. The 626 supports dual cameras and has an increase in performance for most apps and games. Finally, the 626 has the Qualcomm Haven security suite, which is a combined hardware and software solution to give better phone security.
