Hardware and Battery Adjustments
Under the hood, the global edition runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super Edition, a processor fabricated on a 3nm process. Graphics rendering is handled by the Arm Mali-G1 Ultra MC12 GPU. In international markets, Vivo pairs this chipset with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of non-expandable UFS 4.1 flash storage.
The only hardware distinction between the domestic and international releases lies in battery capacity. While the Chinese model houses a 7,000mAh pack, the global version uses a 6,900mAh dual-cell configuration. The phone supports 80W wired FlashCharge, 40W wireless charging, and reverse wireless power delivery. A compatible power adapter is included in the retail box.
ZEISS Optics and Triple Camera Array
The camera setup on the rear features three distinct focal lengths with ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating on the primary lens. A side-mounted physical fingerprint scanner handles biometric security, alongside a customizable hardware action button.
