iQOO 9, iQOO 9 Pro will have tweaked specs for the Indian market

Pranav — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 11:47:55 +0000

Recently, iQOO teased its iQOO 9 flagship series’ India launch by creating a micro-site for the phones on its official website. However, it was learned that the iQOO 9 for the Indian market will be slightly tweaked, wherein the vanilla iQOO 9 for India will be the iQOO 8(Chinese model), while the iQOO 9 Pro India model could originally be the iQOO 9(Chinese model). Now, the tipster Yogesh Brar has revealed that despite the series being rebadged, these devices won’t have the same specs as that of the Chinese models.

Brar reaffirms that the iQOO 9 series will be a mix of iQOO 8 and iQOO 9 models. He reveals that the iQOO 9 India will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC, while the Pro will have Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. He further reveals that the company will eliminate some features and hardware from the phones to keep the cost down.

iQOO 9 series for India gets a mix between iQOO 8 and 9.

SD888 on the vanilla model
SD8 Gen 1 on the Pro model

These won't be the exact same ones launched in China, some features/hardware will be removed to keep the cost down.

— Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) January 10, 2022

This could be a legit move since a number of Snapdragon 888 phones are scheduled to launch in India. The upcoming OnePlus 9RT, the vanilla Realme GT 2, and Xiaomi 11T Pro are riffed to come powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC. That said, tweaking the series as per the Indian market competition does make sense for the company.

Regarding the other specs, the iQOO 9 for India, may have the iQOO 8(China model) specs. But these will be slightly tweaked. The iQOO 8 has a 6.56-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. It has a 48MP + 13MP + 12MP triple rear camera system and a 16MP selfie snapper. The phone packs a 4,350mAh battery and has support for 120W fast charging.

The iQOO 9 Chinese model has a 50MP + 50MP + 16MP triple camera system and a 16MP selfie lens. It houses a 4,700mAh battery and 120W fast charging support.

iQOO 9, iQOO 9 Pro & BMW M Motorsport Edition with 120W charging, SD8 Gen 1 launched

Jed John Ikoba — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 13:54:30 +0000

Vivo‘s independent iQOO brand has officially unveiled its first flagship series for the year. The iQOO 9 series is made up of the iQOO 9, iQOO 9 Pro, and iQOO 9 BMW M Motorsport edition.

Design

The iQOO 9 series adopts a completely new rear design with a triple camera setup housed inside a wide camera island almost covering the upper half of the rear panel. The module has just a slight protrusion which won’t pose any disruption to users. It is also noteworthy that two of the camera sensors have wide apertures. The device equally uses a metal frame made from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy.

In terms of color scheme, the iQOO 9 series retains the classic color matching of the predecessor, including the Motorsport edition. The iQOO 9 Pro also combines the glossy white glass with the classic carbon fiber texture. Thus, the glass back on the BMW Motorsport edition isn’t smooth but has a carbon fiber texture. iQOO still included the iconic BMW three-color stripes running from the upper part down to the lower sides of the rear panel. The matte AG splicing process is adopted to give the glass surface a micro-film condensing AG process, which gives an appearance of two colors, textured patterns, and a rough feel.

All models on the iQOO 9 series feature a 6.78-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED display panel, a 1.7mm extremely narrow frame. The Pro model comes with LPTO technology. LTPO display tech allows the device to have both a high refresh rate and resolution without turning it into a battery-sucking machine. The display features support for 120Hz refresh rate and has a peak brightness of up to 1500nit, 100% P3 color gamut, and 1000Hz instant touch adoption rate. Thus, the screen content is still clearly visible under strong light conditions. The display also has a tiny punch-hole cut-out that houses the selfie camera.

The iQOO 9 features a flexible flat panel with an FHD+ resolution of 2400×1080 pixels while the iQOO 9 Pro comes with a curved flexible panel with a 2K resolution of 3200×1400 pixels.

The iQOO 9 series is equipped with a full-sensing control system 3.0 while the dual-control pressure-sensing area under the screen has also been further increased. The device also features two X-axis motors with greater steady-state vibration. The iQOO 9 series uses an ultrasonic 3D wide-area fingerprint sensor which only needs to be entered once and unlocks the device in just 0.2 seconds.

Specifications – iQOO 9 series

All three models are powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset which is based on the new 4nm process technology. The chip uses the new X2 super core, built-in enhanced LPDDR5 memory, and an overclocked version of UFS 3.1 storage. The models come with an independent display chip Pro, bringing a smooth and refreshing game experience with high frames and low power consumption.

Since the iQOO 9 series is a gaming phone series, heat dissipation is very much guaranteed. The models come with a 3923 mm2 super large area heat spreader which covers the entire panel. The models also feature two split-flow power pumps to ensure chip heat dissipation. Finally, there is a stacked waterfall VC three-dimensional heat dissipation system for accelerated heat conduction.

CAMERA

On the camera aspect, the iQOO 9 packs a 50MP main camera teaming up with a 13MP super wide-angle sensor and a 13MP portrait lens. On the other hand, the iQOO 9 Pro features a 50-megapixel main camera with an outsole gimbal as well as a second 50-megapixel fisheye ultra-wide-angle lens with support for 150° ultra-wide-angle shooting, and also brings a fun fisheye macro mode. The third sensor is a 16-megapixel telephoto portrait lens.

120W ultra-fast flash charging + 50W wireless flash charging + 10W wireless reverse charging, equipped with 120W ultra-fast flash charging mini charger, 4700mAh battery capacity.

All iQOO 9 series are equipped with dual-cell 120W ultra-fast flash charging and 4700mAh large battery as standard. iQOO 9 Pro also has support for 50W wireless flash charging and 10W reverse charging. The 120W ultra-fast flash charging mini charger uses the new gallium nitride material. It weighs only 135g, supports PD3.0 and PPS protocols, making it convenient to carry around.
