iQOO just unveiled the much anticipated Neo 9 series with Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro alongside the iQOO smartwatch and more. In this article, let’s take a look at the front-runner of the event, the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, its specs, features, expected price in Nepal, and availability.
It’s a 4nm octa-core chipset with a single prime Cortex X4 core at 3.25 GHz, 3 other Cortex X4 cores at 2.85 GHz, and 4 Cortex A720 cores at 2.0 GHz. On the GPU side, this SOC features Mali G720 Immortalis graphics with 12 EUs at up to 1.3 GHz.
Complementing that, iQOO has also included its proprietary Q1 chip to boost gaming performance and run games at 144Hz with features like low latency frame insertion, superframe, and super-resolution.
Moreover, you’ll also get plenty of memory- up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage to be exact. While keeping things nice and cool is a 6K four-zone vapor chamber cooling system just like that on the iQOO 12.With all that, Vivo claims that the Neo 9 Pro secures an Antutu score of over 2.2 million points (2,271,151) so you are in pretty good hands when it comes to raw power here.
The new series leaves behind the boxy camera island seen in its predecessors, instead opting for two individual roundish units. And to suit that fresh look, the device is availablein Nautical Blue, Red and White Soul (dual-tone leather back), and Fighting Black color options.
