iQoo Neo 9s Pro Tipped to Arrive With Snapdragon Chip in China, MediaTek SoC in Global Markets

iQoo Neo 9s Pro is currently in development, according to recent reports, and the company’s purported addition to the Neo series of smartphones could be equipped with two different chipsets. A few months ago, the iQoo Neo 9 Pro was launched in China with a MediaTek Dimensity SoC, while the global variant arrived with a Snapdragon chip. The upcoming iQoo Neo 9s Pro, on the other hand, could arrive with a MediaTek chip in international markets, while the Chinese variant might feature a flagship Snapdragon processor.

Weibo user ‘Experience more’ (translated from Chinese) spotted the iQoo Neo 9s Pro on the China Quality Certification Centre (CQC) website with the model number V299FA. The entry for the purported iQoo Neo 9s Pro on the website reveals that it will be equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in China. It will also support wired charging at 120W, while the charging brick will support USB PD and PPS charging at 100W, as per the listing.

Last month, another Chinese tipster shared details of a new iQoo smartphone that could debut as the iQoo Neo 9s, iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition, or the iQoo Neo 10 model. It is said to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and sport a 1.5K OLED screen. The handset is also tipped to feature a 50-megapixel primary rear camera with support for optical image stabilisation.

If iQoo launches the Neo 9s Pro in global markets, it could arrive with a different mobile processor. According to a recent report, the handset was spotted on the Google Play Console with the model number V2339FA and a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, along with 12GB of RAM. The other specifications of the handset are expected to match the Chinese model.

The iQoo Neo 9 Pro that was launched in international markets, including India, is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, paired with a dedicated Q1 chip. The phone comes with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of inbuilt storage. The smartphone sports a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen and packs a 5,160mAh battery with support for 120W charging.

The iQoo Z9x was also reportedly seen on the Geekbench benchmark which has revealed some of its key specifications. The smartphone is said to record a single-core score of 3271 and a multi-core score of 10259. The listing also mentioned ‘parrot’ in the motherboard section, which corroborates with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, as per the report. Further, the listing mentions that the handset could get 4GB of RAM and run on Android 14 out-of-the-box.

Not a lot is known about the Vivo T3x, but the report mentions that it could be launched in India in the third week of April. The smartphone is said to come with a similar design and specifications as its predecessor, Vivo T2x. It is reported to carry a price tag between Rs. 12,000 and Rs. 15,000 in the country.

iQoo Z9 Turbo, iQoo Pad 2 Key Features Leaked; iQoo Neo 10 Tipped to Launch Soon

iQoo is expected to launch a range of new products later this year. The company is tipped to launch the iQoo Z9 Turbo alongside other models in the lineup. It is reportedly also working on an iQoo Pad 2 model that is expected to succeed and offer upgrades over the iQoo Pad, which was unveiled in May 2023. Details about these devices have surfaced online previously. Now, a tipster has suggested some key features of these purported models again. The tipster has also offered details on another upcoming iQoo phone.

Tipster Digital Chat Station shared a post on Weibo suggesting specifications of some upcoming iQoo products. One of the models, they claimed, is likely to sport a 1.5K OLED display, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, and a 6,000mAh battery. Based on earlier leaks, this is expected to be the iQoo Z9 Turbo. It has previously been tipped to launch in April alongside the base iQoo Z9 and an iQoo Z9x.

Notably, iQoo has officially confirmed that a new iQoo Z9 variant will be introduced in China in April with Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. It is expected to be the iQoo Z9 Turbo. However, the company has yet to reveal more details about the upcoming model or series.

The second iQoo product that the tipster talks about is the iQoo Pad 2, which has also been leaked earlier. The new leak claims that the tablet is likely to feature a 13-inch 3.1K LCD screen, a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, and a large 11,500mAh battery. It is expected to be a rebadged version of the Vivo Pad 3 Pro, which was recently launched in China.

Details of a previously unheard iQoo model were also leaked by the tipster. It is suggested that this model is expected to come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 1.5K OLED display, and a 50-megapixel primary rear camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS) support. Although the moniker has not been confirmed or tipped, it is speculated to be the iQoo Neo 9s, iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition, or the iQoo Neo 10 model. It is best to take this speculation with a pinch of salt until we know more about this model.

iQoo 12 Anniversary Edition Confirmed to Launch in India Soon

iQoo 12 saw its launch in India in December 2023, a few weeks after its initial unveiling in China. The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and has a 5,000mAh battery with wired fast charging support. The handset runs Android 14-based UI and features a quad-HD AMOLED display. It has a triple rear camera unit with a periscope camera and is available in two RAM and storage configurations. Now, iQoo has confirmed that it’ll launch a special Anniversary Edition of the iQoo 12 soon.

It is speculated that the upcoming variant could launch in a red colourway, similar to the Burning Way variant that was launched in China. However, since nothing official is known, readers are advised to take this speculation with a pinch of salt.
