iQOO is gearing up to introduce a new Plus variant for the Neo 9S Pro. The device arrived last month and will soon get its sibling iQOO Neo 9S Pro+. Today, iQOO announced through its official Weibo profile that the smartphone will arrive next month.
iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ To Arrive Next Month – Could Feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
iQOO didn’t confirm the exact launch date but left us with confirmation that it will arrive next month. The phone is confirmed to launch next month, and a teaser shows the phone in its Buff Blue color. The iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ comes with lychee-grain leather. The device looks identical to the 9S Pro and the Neo9 Pro before it. We don’t expect big changes but we would bet on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to make it different from the other two with the Dimensity 9300.

In addition to the teaser image, we also got a live look at the Neo 9S Pro+ which will be part of the iQOO and Vivo devices. These are reserved for members of the Chinese national Olympic team.
For comparison, the non-Plus 9S Pro brings a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate and 2,800 x 1,260 pixels of resolution. Under the hood, it carries the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC with 1 x ARM Cortex-X4 core at 3.25 GHz, 3 x ARM Cortex-X4 cores clocked at 2.85 GHz, and 4 x ARM Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. The 9S Pro+ could include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU.
The 9S Pro has a 50 MP Main camera with OIS and a 50 MP Ultrawide shooter. There is also a 16 MP selfie snapper. Other features include stereo speakers tuned by Snapdragon Sound. The phone has Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The device comes with a 5,160 mAh battery and 120W wired charging.
Unfortunately, the details are still scarce about the new smartphone. However, we expect iQOO to share more details in the coming weeks.
