iQOO confirms launch date of Neo9s Pro+, reveals key specs

The iQOO Neo9s Pro+ will arrive on July 11, revealed the vivo brand manager on their Weibo page. The phone will look like its predecessor, Neo9s Pro, but will have a new blue leather back and bring certain upgrades.

The most notable of those is the chipset – this iQOO smartphone will have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, upgrading from the Dimensity 9300+ in the Neo9s Pro. Also, the device will introduce a larger battery with a 5,500 mAh capacity and 120W charging.

The senior executive explained in full detail the importance of the iQOO Neo9s Pro+ for the company. He managed to link the NBA and vivo partnership in the lengthy post where they revealed sales of the Neo series increased 77% YoY. The next logical step would be to introduce this Plus version not as an upgrade of past Neo phones but as an evolution of the smartphone industry as a whole.

Marketing-speak aside, the GM mentioned two 50 MP cameras on the back – main and ultra-wide shooters. The company preferred to stick to this solution rather than the three-cam design, and the rest will be complemented by OriginOS 4.0 and the in-house AI features.

The smartphone will keep its thin profile despite the increased battery – the glass variant will be 7.99 mm thin, but the leather option, which is the hero color, is likely to be 8.3 mm, just like its predecessor.

The vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro+ will be unveiled at the Universal Beijing Resort, where even “Megatron will be amazed at this powerful piece of technology,” according to the manager.
