iQOO recently confirmed that it will unveil the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ smartphone on July 11 in China. In the Chinese market, the performance-driven phone will compete with devices like the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro and the Realme GT 6, both equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It will also compete with the Redmi K70 Ultra, which is expected to feature the Dimensity 9300+ chipset. Today, Jia Jingdong, Vivo’s vice President for Brand and General Manager of Brand and Product Strategy, took to Weibo to officially confirm the key specifications of the Neo 9S Pro+.
iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ key specifications
Jingdong confirmed that the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, as well as iQOO’s self-developed Q1 graphics chip for an improved gaming experience. A specialized scheduling algorithm has been designed to intelligently allocate tasks between the Snapdragon and e-sports Q1 chips. The system automatically allocates more resources to the e-sports chip to enhance gaming performance when it detects a game. Additionally, a sophisticated power management strategy dynamically adjusts the power consumption of the two chips in various scenarios, thereby extending battery life.
Speaking of battery life, the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ will pack a 5,500mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging. Despite housing a large battery, the device will maintain a slim profile of 7.99mm. The phone will come preloaded with the OriginOS 4.0-based Android 14.
For security, the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ will be the company’s first sub-flagship phone to feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. For those who don’t know, the Neo 9S Pro+ will arrive as an upgraded version of the Dimensity 9300-powered iQOO Neo 9 Pro, which was announced in December last year.
Compared to the Neo 9 Pro, the upcoming Neo 9S Pro+ will arrive with three major department improvements: chipset, battery size, and a new fingerprint scanning solution. Like the Neo 9 Pro, the 9S Pro+ will have a 50-megapixel (main, with OIS) + 50-megapixel (ultrawide) dual-camera system. The availability of the device in markets outside of China remains unclear.
