As iQOO gears up to launch its next performance-oriented mid-range smartphone – the company is emphasising the camera capabilities of the device. This isn’t the case with many smartphones in this range. IndianExpress.com got in touch with Shankar Singh Chauhan, product manager at iQOO India, to understand more about the camera prowess of the Neo 9 Pro.

Chauhan said, “This time we have significant improvement in the camera performance of the iQOO Neo 9 Pro compared to its predecessor, especially in the main camera, which now uses the Sony IMX920 sensor, a sensor used on the flagship Vivo X100.” He also confirmed that the iQOO Neo 9 Pro will be priced under Rs 40,000, which will make it one of the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC-powered smartphones in the country.

When asked why the iQOO Neo 9 Pro has fewer cameras compared to its predecessor, Chauhan said, “according to the feedback we received, consumers didn’t want more low-quality cameras like the 2 MP macro. Hence, this time, we have reduced both the size of the camera module and the number of cameras, and this Phone is only includes a main camera and an ultra-wide-angle lens.” Last year’s iQOO Neo 7 Technology Pro had a triple camera setup with a 2 MP macro lens.

Talking about some of the prominent camera features of iQOO Neo 9 Pro, the spokesperson highlighted that the device comes with both hardware and software camera enhancements, which include Vivo’s VCS colour grading technology that reduces the noise and offers more natural-looking colours. The device also has AI-powered night mode, which helps capture clearer skies even in low-light situations.

Chauhan added that the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, with its dedicated Supercomputing Chip Q1, enables experiences like 144fps gaming through the game frame interpolation technique on select games, and it also enhances the gaming resolution to 900p.

This Phone is launching in India on February 22, and the device will compete against other performance-oriented smartphones like the recently launched OnePlus 12R (review), which is also based on the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. This is already available for pre-order on Amazon, and the listing confirms that the smartphone will be available in at least two colour variants.

Other prominent features include a dual-tone design, Sony IMX920 sensor-powered primary camera, 5,160 mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging, 6.78-inch FHD+ 144Hz LTPO display with up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness, and up to 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of internal storage.
