On December 27, iQOO will unveil its Neo9 series smartphones in China. The iQOO Neo9 and Neo9 Pro are the two new devices announced by the brand. Mukul Sharma has provided key details about the Indian variant of the Neo 9 Pro before its launch in China.
According to Mukul, the iQOO Neo9 Pro Indian model could be launched in India as soon as January 2024. As the tipster confirmed, the design of the iQOO Neo9 Pro will be the same as the Chinese model, featuring a two-tone color scheme. However, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will be used instead of Dimensity 9300.
The Chinese variant of the Neo9 Pro will use a Dimensity 9300 chip, while the standard model will use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. At this point, it is unclear what changes or modifications will be made to the Indian version. For the Indian market, likely, the iQOO Neo9 Pro will likely closely resemble the Chinese variant of the standard Neo9, with possible design differences.
