iQOO 9 series of smartphones are likely to go official in January 2022 in China. Today, Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station shared key details on the display, camera, battery, and fast charging capabilities of an upcoming smartphone. Probably, he could be talking about the vanilla iQOO 9 handset.
The leak begins by stating that the device will be equipped with a 6.78-inch Samsung AMOLED E5 display that offers a Full HD+ resolution. It will be backed by a 4,650mAh± battery that offers 120W fast charging.
iQOO had only offered micro-gimbal OIS support on the iQOO 8 Pro, and not on the vanilla iQOO 8. However, a recent leak claimed that the vanilla iQOO 9 will also come with a micro-gimbal camera. The new leak states that it will be equipped with a Samsung GN5 50-megapixel primary camera. The 1/1.5-inch sensor will be equipped with a new dual-axis micro-gimbal stabilization.
The alleged iQOO 9 Pro is likely to house a Samsung AMOLED E5 display with a curved edge design. It is likely that the iQOO 9 and iQOO 9 Pro will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. The Pro model is also expected to house a 4,700mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging.
In related news, iQOO recently unveiled the iQOO Neo5S with Snapdragon 888 and iQOO Neo5 SE with Snapdragon 870 in China. Launching the iQOO 9 series early in January may cannibalize the sales of the Neo branded models. Hence, it is likely that the iQOO 9 models may go official by the end of January 2022.
