iQOO 9, iQOO 9 Pro CONFIRMED for India, launching soon
iQOO came a solid re-entry into the Indian market with the iQOO 7 series last year. This year, they are following it up with the iQOO 9 series, a high-end series that has already launched in China. The Indian teaser shows two models similar to the global lineup but there's a difference. One of them is same iQOO 9 Pro as the global model while the other model appears to be a rebadged iQOO 8.
iQOO India is currently teasing all the features of what appears to be the iQOO 9 Pro. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip is confirmed and there's a possibility that this could be the first phone in India to get Qualcomm's latest chip. iQOO is also bringing the 120W fast charging to the country as well.
Apart from the chip and charging, iQOO has also confirmed the 4700mAh capacity battery. A dual X-axis linear haptic motor is also present on the iQOO 9 Pro.
The biggest revelation, however, is iQOO revealing the design of these phones. The iQOO 9 Pro is getting the BMW M motorsport treatment similar to the one on last year's iQOO 7 Legend. Other than a “Fascination Meets Innovation” tag, the photo also shows a triple camera system and Vivo's Gimbal Stabilization system present.
The “standard” iQOO 9 has a design similar to previous iQOO 8 series. This has a comparatively “smaller” camera hump holding three cameras on the rear. This one sheds the BMW M motorsport colours in favour of a grey textured rear. This phone also gets the Gimbal Stabilization System as well.
What remains to be seen is what the iQOO 9 ends up costing in India and what will the chipset of choice. We expect the phone to feature the Snapdragon 888 chipset, the 120W charging, a 48MP+13MP+12MP, and a 6.5-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate.
