Vivo V9 July security Update (6.12.1) with other optimizations rolling out, Android 10 awaited

The Chinese smartphone maker Vivo has recently launched the Vivo X50, the first smartphone to house a Gimbal camera stabilization system. Vivo is quite active in launching new smartphones but the opposite is the case when it comes to providing software updates to its devices.

Vivo doesn’t provide monthly security updates to its devices. However, it bundles a couple of updates into one update and then sends it to the devices. Well, today Vivo V9 launched back in 2018 is receiving a new software update. Currently, the Vivo V9 runs on the version PD1 730F_EX A_6.12.1. The new software update arrived today comes with version 6.13.1 and it brings July security patch along with other improvements and optimizations to the system. You can find the complete changelog of the update below, but first, let’s have quick look at the specifications of the Vivo V9.
