iQOO 9 and iQOO 9 Pro are expected to launch in January 2022 in China. Both models are likely to be driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. Popular tipster Digital Chat Station has leaked key specifications of a forthcoming smartphone. It appears that the tipster might be talking about the iQOO 9 handset.
Recently, the tipster revealed that the iQOO 9 will be equipped with a 6.78-inch Samsung AMOLED E5 display that offers a Full HD+ resolution, whereas the Pro model will house a 6.78-inch AMOLED 5G screen with curved edges. Apart from reiterating the display specs of the iQOO 9, he has also shared some information on its other specs.
The leak reveals that the vanilla iQOO 9 could be equipped with a 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 primary camera. Another tipster WHY LAB has also made this claim today. It is speculated that the 1/1.5-inch sensor will be coupled with a new dual-axis micro-gimbal stabilization. There is no information available on the other cameras of the smartphone.
He has further stated that the device will be packed with a 4,650mAh battery with a 120W fast charging. Recent reports have claimed that the iQOO 9 Pro will be housing a 4,700mAh battery along with 120W rapid charging. There is no specification available on the launch date of the iQOO 9 series.
Considering that the iQOO Neo 5S and Neo5 SE have launched recently in China, the company may take some more time to announce the iQOO 9 lineup in the home market. Hence, it is likely that it may hold the iQOO 9 series launch event by the end of January 2022.
