iQOO announced the iQOO Neo 9 Pro on Feb. 22 in India. Just before the launch, the brand confirmed that it was also planning to launch the iQOO Z9 5G in the country. While the landing page for the phone has been available on Amazon for the past week, the company did not reveal its launch date. Today, the brand released an official confirmation that it will be unveiled on March 12.
iQOO Z9 5G key specifications
The iQOO Z9 5G’s landing page on Amazon states that it features the Dimensity 7200. The same chip drives the Redmi Note 13 Pro+, IQOO Z7 Pro, Vivo V27, Vivo VS17e (China exclusive), and Vivo T2 Pro 5G. The Nothing Phone (2a) that’s set to launch on March 5 is also equipped with a slightly tweaked version of the chip dubbed the Dimensity 7200 Pro.
The brand has also confirmed that the iQOO Z9 5G will be the first phone in its segment to feature an OIS-enabled Sony IMX882 50-megapixel primary camera. The same camera sensor is available on the Realme 12 Pro 5G, which debuted last month in India.
According to reports, the IQOO Z9 5G will have a 6.x-inch OLED panel that offers an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is expected to ship with FunTouch OS 14, based on Android 14. For security, it will have an under-display fingerprint scanner.
The iQOO Z9 5G is expected to pack a 5,000mAh battery with 44W fast charging. On the front, it may feature a 16-megapixel selfie camera. It is likely that the device may arrive in blue and green shades in India. As far as the cost is concerned, the device is likely to arrive with a sub-Rs 20,000 (~$240) price tag.
