The iQOO Neo 9s Pro had been confirmed coming soon with the newly announced Dimensity 9300+. Today, a leakster claimed that another phone is on the way, called iQOO Neo 9s Pro+, and it will have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
It will also have 16GB of RAM and two storage options, making it “the ultimate affordable flagship,” according to Digital Chat Station.
The front of the phone should be the same as any other Neo 9 device: 6.78” LTPO AMOLED with a resolution of 2,800 x 1,260 pixels, while the main camera on the back remains 50 MP. We expect even the overall design and battery capacity to remain unchanged: 5,160 mAh cell with 120W charging support.
We previously assumed that the vivo brand would opt for a Neo 10 branding, but since these phones only bring one change, the chipset, it would make sense if iQOO didn't pretend this is a new lineup – it's just an upgrade.
However, if iQOO fans want more than just a flagship chipset, they might prefer a better screen and more capable cameras; they can still choose the iQOO 12 or iQOO 12 Pro, about which we had mostly positive impressions in our review.
