According to Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) on Twitter, the Chinese smartphone maker is apparently planning to launch its flagship iQOO 9 series by the end of next month. In other words, the premium lineup could be announced by January end, with first sales and pre-orders like beginning in February 2022. This is in line with our previous reports where we had the same speculation since an early January launch might cannibalize the sales of the newly Neo branded models, which includes the Neo 5S with Snapdragon 888 and iQOO Neo 5 SE with Snapdragon 870.
Although, the Neo5S series has only been released in China at the moment. In other words, the launch in India might be around the same time as the Chinese launch. Talking about some of iQOO 9 series rumored specifications, the base and Pro variant are expected to feature Samsung E5 AMOLED panel, with the former featuring a 6.78 inch FHD+ display.
Other features include, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, with the Pro model being powered by a large 4,700mAh battery pack that supports 120W fast charging. The rear camera module will reportedly house a Samsung GN5 50 megapixel primary sensor that supports dual axis micro gimbal stabilization as well. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take this news with a pinch of salt for now.
