iQOO has announced that it will launch the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ smartphone on July 11 in China. This performance-focused device will compete with the likes of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro and the Realme GT 6, both of which feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It will also go head-to-head with the Redmi K70 Ultra, expected to come with the Dimensity 9300+ chipset. Today, Jia Jingdong, Vivo’s Vice President for Brand and General Manager of Brand and Product Strategy, revealed the key specifications of the Neo 9S Pro+ on Weibo.
iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ Key Specifications
Jingdong confirmed that the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, along with iQOO’s self-developed Q1 graphics chip, aimed at enhancing the gaming experience. A specialized scheduling algorithm has been designed to intelligently allocate tasks between the Snapdragon and the e-sports Q1 chips. The system automatically directs more resources to the e-sports chip to improve gaming performance when a game is detected. Additionally, a sophisticated power management strategy dynamically adjusts the power consumption of the two chips in various scenarios, extending battery life.
Power and Battery Life
The iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ will come with a 5,500mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging. Despite the large battery, the device will maintain a slim profile at 7.99mm. The phone will run on OriginOS 4.0, based on Android 14.
Security and Camera
For security, the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ will feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, marking the first sub-flagship phone from the company to include this technology. This new model will be an upgraded version of the Dimensity 9300-powered iQOO Neo 9 Pro, which was launched in December last year.
Compared to the Neo 9 Pro, the upcoming Neo 9S Pro+ will offer three significant improvements: a new chipset, a larger battery, and an enhanced fingerprint scanning solution. Like the Neo 9 Pro, the 9S Pro+ will boast a 50-megapixel (main, with OIS) + 50-megapixel (ultrawide) dual-camera system. The availability of the device in markets outside of China is still unclear.
