The iQOO Neo 9 Pro’s teaser reveals that it will sport a red-white dual-tone design. The brand has yet to reveal the key specifications of the device. In December, iQOO unveiled the Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Dimensity 9300 chipsets, respectively, in the Chinese market. According to reports, the Chinese Neo 9 will be rebranded as the iQOO Neo 9 Pro in India.

The arrival of the Neo 9 Pro variant suggests that there could be a non-Pro model in the works. At present, there is no information available about the iQOO Neo 9 for the Indian market. Here is a look at what to expect about the specifications and price of the Neo 9 Pro.
