It looks like iQOO is getting ready to release the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, which is their next smartphone.
The iQOO 12, which has been dubbed the flagship killer of this year and is being compared to flagship phones that are scheduled to launch in early 2024, just finished its launch. It appears that iQOO is getting ready to release the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, which is their next smartphone. On X (formerly Twitter), a trustworthy tipster named Mukul Sharma is stating that the new iQOO premium phone will launch in January 2024, or the following month.
According to the post, the iQOO Neo9 features a dual-tone, dual-material design. One variation has faux leather spliced into a matte glass finish. There are three versions available: one in black made of fingerprint-resistant fluorite AG glass, another in plain glass with a soft-touch finish. It also has a silky feel to it.
Moving on to the Neo9 Pro, some Geekbench results showed how the Dimensity 9300 worked. The Neo9 Pro scored well over 7500 points in the multi-core workload and over 2200 points in the single-core scenario. These results are consistent with those of other devices running the Dimensity 9300, which we have tested previously.
