According to DCS, an upcoming iQOO phone is equipped with a Sony IMX920 50-megapixel primary camera with a 1.49-inch sensor size. The tipster did not specify the exact name of the iQOO device that will be featured. For those who don’t know, the Vivo X100 is also expected to feature the same primary camera.

Since the above-mentioned camera seems suitable for a flagship phone, it appears that the upcoming iQOO Neo 9 Pro may come equipped with it. To recall, the iQOO Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro, which debuted earlier this year, featured a 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX866 primary camera.

A recent report revealed that the iQOO Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro are tentatively planned to launch in December in China. The devices are said to have V2338A and V2339A model numbers, respectively. It is speculated that the Neo 9 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, whereas the Neo 9 Pro may have the Dimensity 9300 onboard. The other details of the Neo 9 series are yet to be revealed.

The lineup is expected to ship with the Origin OS 4-based Android 14. It is speculated that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Neo 9 may face competition from other rumored Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones, such as the Redmi K70, OnePlus Ace 3, Honor 100 series, and Realme GT Neo 6, in the Chinese market.
