Despite the unconfirmed battery capacity, it could follow the Neo 9 Pro with a 5,160mAh battery and 120W fast charging. The phone is expected to feature a triple camera system with a main 50MP sensor.
We are still waiting for confirmation of the specifications of the iQOO Neo 9S Pro and Neo 9S Pro+. Except for their different chipsets, the Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro are likely to have the same specs.
According to Vivo, iQOO’s parent company, the Vivo X100s, X100s Pro, and X100 Ultra will launch on May 13 in China. Therefore, we can expect to see the Neo 9S Pro in the second half of this month.
