The iQOO 12 5G, which features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, was announced by iQOO in India last month. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Dimensity 9300 chipsets, the iQOO Neo9 and Neo9 Pro smartphones were first released in China in December. It has been reported that the Neo 9 Pro released in India will be a rebranded version of the Neo9 available in China.

The company began teasing the Neo 9 Pro’s arrival soon after its launch. It has finally been confirmed that the device will go official on Feb. 22. The OnePlus 12R, which also has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, is expected to compete with the iQOO Neo9 Pro in India. As of now, there is no information on the Neo 9 Pro’s price. This device would likely retail for around Rs 40,000 in the country.
