Vivo, the global smartphone brand, recently unveiled its all-new sleek and stylish V9 flagship unit in a summer-themed launch held at the City of Dreams Manila which was attended by over 200 members of the press and other guests.
Held at the Wave, a contemporary poolside deck, restaurant and bar, Vivo welcomed its guests late Thursday afternoon and let them experience the V9 and take selfies and photos as well with the sunset as their backdrop. Moreover, one lucky guest who posted a creative photo in their Instagram handle gets to win a V9 unit.
At the press launch, Vivo Brand Director Annie Lim recapped the smartphone company’s feats in the Philippines. She said that since Vivo entered the Philippine market in 2016, Vit has been steadily rising to become the country’s top three brand with over 5,200 stores and 1.5 million users nationwide.

Jomari Morales followed Lim's remarks by presenting all the goods on
the V9. She highlighted the Vivo V9’s 90% screen-to-body ratio, the
24-megapixel selfie camera and 16MP+5MP dual read camera, and the
AI-powered photography for a “perfect view” and a “perfect shot.”
Morales also presented the Vivo V9’s improved game mode that would enable users to take calls or open other apps without pausing the gaming applications or play without any interruptions.
After her presentation, Vivo’s Junior Brand Manager Christian Jocson revealed that anyone can enjoy a V9 for a “perfect” price of Php17,990 with pre-orders beginning on March 26 until April 2.
During the program, Vivo executives led by Brand Director Annie Lim were on hand to answer some of the questions of the media with regards to the V9 flagship unit and Vivo’s plans in the Philippines and the V9's capabilities.
Vivo partners, Ayala Malls and SM Supermalls, were also recognized during the event during the ceremonial exchange of tokens. Lim handed the malls' representatives with a Little V doll.
Fresh faces of Vivo
Aside
from the launch of the new flagship smartphone V9,Vivo also introduced
its newest endorsers, Ivan Dorschner and Edward Barber.
Barber is the onscreen partner of young actress Maymay Entrata who also joined the event. Entrata was the first who joined Vivo in September 2017 during the launch of the V7+. His endorsement deal with Vivo is something MayWard fans have been patiently waiting for since the pair already worked together for the smartphone brand during their first Making Mega shoot in Germany last year.
Dorschner, meanwhile, charmed the press with his good looks and charisma. He was one of Kuya’s guests in Pinoy Big Brother in 2010. Since then, he became one of GMA Network's top leading men after starring alongside young actress and fellow Vivo endorser Barbie Forteza in the primetime series "Meant To Be."
Barber, Entrata, and Dorschner also picked three lucky winners of the Vivo V9 during the raffle. They also joined the Vivo executives for a toast for the V9. Also with them onstage were other Vivo endorsers young pop soul singer Sassa Dagdag, acoustic singer-songwriter TJ Monterde, and balladeer Jason James Dy who closed the night with their performances.
