iQOO has confirmed the launch of its new Neo 9s Pro smartphones on May 20 in China. The company will launch a total of two devices, the Neo 9s Pro and Neo 9s Pro+, both expected to bring flagship-grade specifications at pretty great prices. 

As the launch date is just a few days ahead, we’ve gathered all the available information about the iQOO Neo 9s Pro in this article. So let’s delve into the leaked specifications and see what this phone might offer.

1. Design and Display

iQOO is keeping the tried and tested design language of the previous Neo 9 series smartphone with the upcoming Neo 9s Pro. That is, the phone has flat sides, a slightly curved back panel for a comfortable grip, and the same dual camera cutout housing two sensors. 

The front will be home to a large 6.78-inch display with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. There will also be LTPO or Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide tech that can dynamically adjust their refresh rate based on the content being viewed.

This means the display can drop down to a lower refresh rate for static content like reading an e-book, thereby conserving battery life. Conversely, it can ramp up to the full 144Hz for fast-paced games or scrolling, ensuring a seamless visual experience.

2. Performance

Under the hood, the Neo 9s Pro is expected to pack the latest MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor. This chipset is designed for high performance and is likely to deliver smooth performance for everyday tasks, demanding applications, and even mobile gaming. 

The “+” designation on the SoC gives away that it is a slightly overclocked version of the standard Dimensity 9300. Currently, only the Vivo X100s Pro Is available with this SoC. 

On top of it, iQOO will also be packing its in-house Q1 chip for improved gaming performance. Accompanying the processors will be up to a whopping 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Storage-wise, the phone might come with options ranging from 128GB to a staggering 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. 

3. Cameras

The camera department on the Neo 9s Pro seems to be focusing on a dual-camera setup on the back. There will be a 50-megapixel main and a 50-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. The front-facing camera for selfies is expected to be a 16MP sensor. 

4. Battery and Other Features

iQOO Neo 9s Pro is expected to be powered by a large 5160mAh battery and there will be support for 120W fast charging. 

Moreover, leaks also suggest that the phone will have an in-display fingerprint sensor, an X-axis linear vibration motor for haptics, an infrared sensor, and NFC support.

5. iQOO X NBA

iQOO has also announced a special collaboration with the NBA for the Neo 9s Pro launch. The full details of this collaboration are yet to be revealed, but we know that there will be a limited edition gift box containing an exclusive NBA-themed phone case, a pop socket, and a water bottle. 

6. A Mid-Range Contender

The iQOO Neo 9s Pro, based on the leaked specifications, is shaping to be a compelling mid-range option. It offers a powerful processor, a smooth high-refresh-rate display, and a long-lasting battery with fast charging capabilities. The combination of 50MP dual rear cameras and a 16MP front camera should suffice for most users’ photography needs. 

While the exact price remains unconfirmed, if iQOO manages to keep it competitive, the Neo 9s Pro could be a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market.
