The promotional poster for the Neo9 Pro on Amazon.in has mentioned that the smartphone will come with the

iQoo Neo9 Pro launch in India: What to expect
iQoo Neo9 series launched in China last year in December. The iQoo Neo9, which could be the one to launch in India as the Neo9 Pro, packs in a 1.5K AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, and a 50MP main camera. So, we expect the
iQoo Neo9
to have similar specifications as the Neo9 Pro.
The iQoo 9 features a 6.78-inch 1.5K 1-144Hz LTPO AMOLED screen having 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, 16,000-level brightness adjustment, SGS low blue light certification, and a peak brightness of 1400 nit.

The Neo9 comes with a Sony IMX920 sensor with OIS paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera. The smartphone has a 16MP front camera.
iQoo Neo9 series comes in three colourways -- black, nautica blue, red-and-white.
The iQoo Neo9 is priced at CNY 2,299 onwards, which is around Rs 27,000. We expect the iQoo Neo9 Pro to be priced similarly in India.
