In May, iQOO launched the iQOO Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro in China.

The only other phones that feature the D9200+ chip include the Vivo X90s and the recently unveiled Redmi K60 Ultra. The Neo 8 Pro entered the market with a price tag of 3,299 Yuan, while the K60 Ultra starts at 2,599 Yuan. Following the K60 Ultra’s launch, iQOO has now reduced the price of the Neo 8 Pro by 300 Yuan (~$41)
