The iQoo Neo 9s Pro series, which includes the iQoo Neo 9s Pro+ and Neo 9s Pro models, could be launched soon. While the Neo 9s series has been in rumors for a while, recent reports revealed that there will be not one but two models that will make the Neo 9s a series, which is expected to arrive after the launch of the iQoo Neo 9 Pro (which was recently launched in India). The same report also sheds light on the alleged iQoo Neo 9 Pro specs, which may end up being one of the first phones to ship with a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset. Now, a tipster from a Chinese microblogging website has revealed more details about the more expensive model, the iQoo Neo 9s Pro+.
The news comes from the tipster's digital chat station via a Weibo post that has revealed several details about the upcoming smartphone. An earlier report saw the same tipster reveal that the unreleased smartphone would launch with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. In his latest post, the tipster mentions that the iQoo Neo 9s Pro+ will be sold as a mid-range (or a premium device in India) and will launch later this year. This also means that both phones may not boot at the same time.
The source adds that the iQoo Neo 9s Pro+ will be equipped with a 6.78-inch display with a resolution of 1.5K (2800 x 1260 pixels) and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The device will also feature 2160 Hz pulse width modulation (PWM) and DC attenuation.
This device is said to feature a 50-megapixel primary camera and will be available in two variants. The former is a 16GB + 512GB RAM and storage configuration, and the latter is a 16GB + 1TB variant. The tipster also adds that the phone will be equipped with a separate graphics coprocessor, like the iQoo 12, which has a special Q1 supercomputing chip that works together with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
The phone is expected to be priced very competitively according to the source, given that it will offer a high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC at the upper end of the global mid-range or the lower end of the premium segment (if comes to India).
Earlier this year, iQoo launched its Neo 9 Pro smartphone in India, which offered a two-tone vegan leather back panel. What currently retails at Rs. 34,999 has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, along with iQoo's Q1 co-processor. It has a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel and is equipped with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The phone packs a 5,160mAh battery and offers 120W wired charging via a proprietary charger.
