The iQOO brand is launching the Neo9 series next month, according to an official teaser on Weibo. The image also revealed the overall design of the lineup, which will have two circles for the two cameras on the back, while the hero color will be a design in two colors with two different finishes. One-third of the panel will be a woven fabric in White, while the other two-thirds appear to have a leather finish, painted in Red. Realistically, both materials are likely based on plastic.
The official image is in line with
previous rumors we heard from a reliable leakster. We should see a 6.78” screen
with 1220p resolution, a Sony IMX920 sensor for the Neo9, and a Snapdragon 8
Gen 2 chipset for the Neo9 Pro.
The Neo series traditionally came with
three cameras. Still, in the last Neo8 lineup, the vivo-owned brand decided to
remove the macro shooter and stick to a dual-cam solution. After all, the Neo
is advertised as iQOO's mid-range tier, a notch above the Z series but
definitely not as powerful as the number flagships.
