iQOO is all set to unveil the iQOO Neo 9 series of smartphones in China later this month. While the official confirmation on the launch date hasn’t arrived yet, reports have claimed that the Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro will be announced on Dec. 27 in the country. Ahead of the launch, the Pro model has emerged on the AnTuTu benchmarking platform.
Reports have claimed that the iQOO Neo 9 Pro will feature the Dimensity 9300 SoC. It is the same chip that powers the likes of the Vivo X100, the X100 Pro, and the upcoming Find X7. The latter three have been previously spotted on AnTuTu with 2,249,858, 2,316,765, and 2,270,677 points, respectively. As can be seen in the below screenshot, the Neo 9 Pro has surpassed these smartphones in performance by achieving the highest score of 2,334,911 points. This hints that iQOO may have tweaked the D9300’s performance on the Neo 9 Pro.
