iQOO Preparing to Launch Neo 9 Series in India
Scheduled for a grand unveiling in China on December 27, iQOO is all set to introduce its Neo 9 series, consisting of two cutting-edge smartphones: the iQOO Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro.
Plans for Indian Debut and Variant Particulars
Rumors suggest that the iQOO Neo 9 Pro is slated for an Indian launch in January 2024. The design will likely mirror its Chinese counterpart, although a significant shift lies in the chipset. Instead of the Dimensity 9300 found in the Chinese model, the Indian version will house the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Distinctions Between Chinese and Indian Models
Notably, the Chinese iteration of the Neo 9 Pro will boast a Dimensity 9300 chip, in contrast to the standard version's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. While details regarding modifications for the Indian release remain scant, there is a possibility that it could emulate the fundamental iQOO Neo 9 model from China but with potential design alterations.
