iQOO Neo 9 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.1/10
Verdict
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro keeps up the Neo 7 Pro's legacy as a reliable performance-oriented smartphone with a not-so-high sticker price. The 50MP primary camera works well in daylight and low-light conditions, though the ultra-wide camera can use some improvements. If a good battery and fast charging matter to you, again, the Neo 9 Pro won't disappoint. But for an immersive Android ecosystem, the OnePlus 12, which also rocks Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, will be a better bet.
Pros
- Reliable performance
- Smooth gaming
- Good 50MP primary camera
- 120W charging
Cons
- Average 8MP ultra-wide camera
- Boring design
Design and display
+
While the iQOO Neo 9 Pro does not reuse the iQOO Neo 7 Pro's boxy design, the finish on the Black variant, which I am reviewing, remains similar to the predecessor. The build is mostly plastic, which explains the aggressive pricing. The rear panel leaves a satin-like finish and does a reliable job of hiding fingerprint smudges and scratches. Also, there's no headphone jack.

The iQOO Neo 9 Pro focuses on a basic yet refined camera experience. The rear camera module includes a 50MP primary and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. There's no periscope-style telephoto camera, which remains limited to the flagship iQOO 12.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC on the iQOO Neo 9 Pro offers a big performance leap over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC-powered iQOO Neo 7 Pro. The variant I am testing includes 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4 storage.

Battery and charging
+
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro now houses a relatively bigger 5,160mAh battery, which can provide all-day battery with standard usage. With performance mode enabled, I was getting around 8.5 hours of screen time, which is quite good. Unfortunately, we were unable to conduct the backup test on PCMark's battery test due to a bug in the app. We will update this section later.
