iQOO is bringing the Neo 9 series to India to take on OnePlus’s 12R, Poco X6 Pro

Hot on the heels of giving Indian buyers the first dibs at Qualcomm’s fastest chip, iQOO has started teasing its next launch— the iQOO Neo 9. The Vivo spin-off has taken to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to confirm the imminent launch highlighting the line-ups big marquee features, power and design.

The iQOO Neo 9 series was launched in China in late December. There are two phones, iQOO Neo 9 and iQOO Neo 9 Pro though iQOO doesn’t explicitly say if it’s bringing both to India. Grapevine has it that iQOO may launch the Chinese iQOO Neo 9 as the iQOO Neo 9 Pro in India and while it may seem like a downgrade on the basis of naming, here’s the thing: the Neo 9 brings Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a 144Hz display and 120W fast charging at a price of under Rs 30,000. So, go figure.

The iQOO Neo 9 Pro sold in China is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chip and has a 6.78-inch 144Hz LTPO AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and up to 1,400 nits of peak brightness and HDR10+ playback support.

You get a dual camera setup in this phone with a 50-megapixel wide and another 50-megapixel ultrawide. Rounding off the package is a 5,160mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.

The Neo 9 swaps the pro’s Dimensity 9300 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the 50MP ultrawide with a watered down 8MP shooter while keeping everything else as is mostly.
