Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro

The Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro has a non-folding, non-rugged design measuring 163.5 mm tall, 75.7 mm wide, and 8 mm thick, with a total volume of 99.0156 cm³ and a weight of 190 g. It carries an IP54 ingress protection rating, meaning it offers a degree of water resistance against splashes and light exposure, though it is not built for harsh or fully submersible conditions.

The Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro features a 6.78″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1260 x 2800 pixels at 453 ppi, backed by a 144Hz refresh rate and a 300Hz touch sampling rate for responsive interaction. The display supports HDR10 and HDR10+ for broader dynamic range content, and delivers a contrast ratio of 8,000,000:1, though Dolby Vision is not supported. Always-On Display is available, and there is no secondary screen. The panel does not use branded damage-resistant glass.

The Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset, built on a 4 nm process with 22,700 million transistors and an 8-thread CPU configuration running at 1 x 3.4, 3 x 2.85, and 4 x 2 GHz using big.LITTLE and HMP scheduling. It is paired with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800 MHz across two memory channels, a maximum memory capacity of 24 GB, and 1024 GB of internal storage, with a peak memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Arm Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU clocks at 1300 MHz and supports DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2, with integrated graphics and integrated LTE on the SoC; the chip does not use simultaneous multithreading. Cache consists of 8 MB of L2 and 18 MB of L3. Benchmark results include an AnTuTu score of 2,321,187, Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core scores of 2,302 and 7,547 respectively, a PCMark Work 3.0 performance score of 14,164 with a battery endurance result of 1,114 minutes, and a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1,880.

The Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro uses a dual rear camera system with two 50 MP CMOS sensors at apertures of f/2.0 and f/1.88, with pixel sizes of 1.2 µm and 0.64 µm respectively, optical image stabilization, and a triple LED flash — though the flash is neither dual-tone nor RGB. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus for stills, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, while laser autofocus is absent. There is no optical zoom. The camera supports manual controls for exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, along with RAW capture, HDR mode, burst shooting, in-camera panoramas, slow-motion video, and timelapse, though 360-degree panorama, HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, and 3D photo or video capture are not available. The front camera is a single-lens 16 MP unit at f/2.5, positioned above the display without an under-screen placement, and it does not have a front-facing flash.

The Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, and camera and microphone access management, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. On the customization side, the OS supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and app offloading are not available. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, Live Text, and the ability to play games while they download, though the device cannot function as a PC and does not support Quick Start. The system also offers on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, device tracking, multi-user support, a child lock, and a battery health check tool. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided, and Wi-Fi password sharing is not supported.

The Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro houses a 5160 mAh rechargeable battery with a battery level indicator and supports 120W wired fast charging, with a charger included in the box. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro features stereo speakers and supports a wide range of Bluetooth audio codecs, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and LDAC, though aptX Lossless is not available. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack and no built-in radio.

The Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro supports 5G connectivity with dual SIM capability, Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) alongside Wi-Fi 4, 5, and 6, and Bluetooth 5.4, with download and upload speeds reaching 10,000 Mbits/s and 7,000 Mbits/s respectively. The USB Type-C port operates at USB 2.0, and there is no external memory slot, HDMI output, or DLNA certification. NFC is present, and biometric security is handled by a fingerprint scanner; 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not available, and no stylus is included. Sensors on board include a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, GPS with Galileo support, and an infrared sensor, while a barometer, heart rate monitor, ANT+ support, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are all absent. Emergency SOS via satellite and crash detection are not supported.

The Vivo iQOO Neo9s Pro includes a video light for recording, while the display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
