After teasing the launch of the iQOO Neo 9 Pro smartphone in India for the past few days, iQOO has finally confirmed its unveiling date. As mentioned in the official poster below, the Neo 9 Pro will be announced on Feb. 24 in the country. The company has already confirmed that it will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which means it will rival the OnePlus 12R, which is set to debut on Jan. 23 in the country.
As mentioned above, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, rather than the Dimensity 9300, will power the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, which will be available in India. This indicates that it will be a Chinese iQOO Neo 9 with a different name. Hence, the specifications of the device are no secret. The official teasers suggest that the Neo 9 Pro will be available in black and red-white dual-tone color options. Here is a look at what to expect from the device in terms of specifications.
