Highlights
  • iQOO 9T design has been revealed in a new YouTube video.
  • The handset will be available in two colour options: Black and BMW motorsport and triple camera sensors.
  • iQOO 9T will ship with Snapdragon 8+ Gen1, 120W fast charging, and a 50MP primary sensor.

iQOO 9 series launched in India earlier this year and included iQOO 9, iQOO 9 Pro, and iQOO 9 SE. However, it looks like the brand is all set to add another model in the series, the iQOO 9T. It is listed on Amazon, which hints the iQOO 9T could be a rebrand of the iQOO 10 as it has a similar design. This is also the first time we get to see the rear camera module’s design and iQOO is continuing its partnership with BMW Motorsport.

iQOO 9T design

The unboxing video showcases the iQOO 9T’s complete rear design. The volume rocker and power button are on the right edge. The phone will be available in two variations: one in a black colour option and the BMW Motorsport edition. Both have a dual-tone design, which looks quite attractive.

The Black colour option has plain Black colour with iQOO branding and there is a large module on the top that has a glossy-glass finish, V1+ imaging chip text en and carbon-fibre texture. Within the large module on the back, there is a rectangle array that houses triple camera sensors and LED flash.

On the other hand, the BMW Motorsport edition has a dual-tone design. The top module is plain black in colour with a similar camera arrangement. Below the module, it has White colour with a BMW stripe that has iQOO branding. However, we don’t get to see the front design but we believe the iQOO 9T will have a punch-hole cutout for the selfie snapper and narrow bezels.
