In December 2023, iQOO unveiled the iQOO Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro in China. These devices came equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Dimensity 9300 chipsets, respectively.  It appears that the brand is now working on the Neo 9S Pro series of smartphones, which is most likely to be an incremental upgrade over the Neo 9 lineup.

A Chinese leaker claims that another model, the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+, will join the Neo 9S Pro. This device is said to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The Neo 9 series is expected to rival flagship phones from Redmi, OnePlus, and Realme around July. These rival brands are likely to announce the Redmi K70 Ultra, OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, and Realme GT 6, respectively. While the Redmi flagship is expected to include the Dimensity 9300+, the Ace 3 Pro will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. At present, there is no clarity about the chipset that will power the Realme GT 6.

The specifications of the iQOO Neo 9S Pro and Neo 9S Pro+ have yet to be confirmed. It is likely that, apart from packing different chipsets, both phones have the same specs as the Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro.

Vivo, the parent brand of iQOO, is currently teasing the Vivo X100s, X100s Pro, and X100 Ultra, set for launch in China on May 13. Therefore, it appears that the Neo 9S Pro will debut in the second half of this month.
