Editorial report

Vodafone Smart X9 technical sheet

The Vodafone Smart X9 suits buyers after a compact, lightweight phone, with below-average battery capacity as the trade-off. It weighs 153 g and measures 148.2 mm tall and 71.3 mm wide; its battery holds 3,100 mAh. The 5.7″ IPS LCD display has a density of 427 ppi, among the highest for phones launched around the same time. Its weight is also lower than that of most phones from then.

Performance hardware is below average, with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. A memory card up to 256 GB can add space. The camera is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time, although its 16 MP rear-camera resolution is higher than most. It records 1080p video and includes HDR, but has no optical image stabilization or optical zoom.

The display and connectivity stand above average. Features include NFC, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and FM radio. Android 8 and support for one Nano-SIM round out the essentials. The Vodafone Smart X9 earns a NeoScore of 3.1: a compact option for buyers who value a manageable size and a high-density display, and can accept less battery capacity and modest performance.
