The iQOO Neo 9 Pro boasts a unique back design with a vibrant colour and a premium touch, thanks to the vegan leather finish. The phone features a 6.78-inch flat AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring a smooth and fluid user experience. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, the Neo 9 Pro handles everything from everyday tasks to heavy gaming seamlessly. It runs demanding games like BGMI, Call of Duty: Mobile, and Genshin Impact without overheating, even after extended play. Running on FunTouchOS 14 based on Android 14, the device offers extensive customisation options and minimal pre-installed apps. Any bloatware present can be easily removed. The rear camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. Daylight photos are sharp and detailed, while the ultra-wide shots are decent but lack finer details. The 16MP front camera captures satisfactory selfies. The iQOO Neo 9 Pro comes with a 5160mAh battery and a 120W fast charger, taking just 35 minutes for a full charge, which is highly convenient. If you're in the market for a versatile smartphone with a few minor compromises, the iQOO Neo 9 Pro is an excellent choice.
