The iQOO brand officially introduced the iQOO Neo9 smartphone series in China today. Compared to the iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro, the new models are a step lower, that is, sub-flagships, but in fact the iQOO Neo9 Pro is more powerful than many flagships because it is based on the top-end SoC Mediatek Dimensity 9300. Which is superior to Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in terms of speed (Let’s and not by much). The official performance of iQOO Neo9 Pro in AnTuTu 10 is 2.271 million points.
