As a newly released model from the iQOO Neo series by iQOO not long ago, the iQOO Neo9S Pro has garnered much favor from consumers for its excellent performance in terms of越级 hardware configuration and cost-effectiveness since its debut. Following rumors that the new model, iQOO Neo9s Pro+, has passed relevant certifications and is expected to be released next month, a source has recently exposed more configuration details suspected to be of this new phone.

First, previous reports have revealed that the iQOO Neo9S Pro+ will be the first mid-range model to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 chip, potentially making it the lowest-priced Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phone.

As we all know, the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 is Qualcomm's most powerful mobile chip. Compared to the previous generation, its CPU frequency can reach up to 3.3GHz, with a 30% performance improvement, a 20% energy efficiency enhancement, and a 25% GPU performance boost.

Currently, Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phones are generally priced above 3500 yuan, and only flagship models are equipped with this chip. This time, iQOO applying it to the Neo9S Pro+ is worth looking forward to.

In addition, the iQOO Neo9S Pro+ will feature a 1.5K domestic straight screen, a rear 50MP dual camera setup, and a domestic single-point ultrasonic fingerprint recognition system. The phone is expected to be officially released in July.

It is worth mentioning that the iQOO Neo9s Pro+ will adopt single-point ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint technology. This news immediately sparked heated discussions in the comment section, with many netizens expressing that iQOO is really "stepping up its game" this time.

As we know, ultrasonic fingerprint technology is similar in principle to the current mainstream optical fingerprint technology, both relying on the reflection imaging of screen light to capture users' fingerprint information. However, ultrasonic fingerprint technology has its unique advantages. When a user's finger presses on the screen, the unique pulse reflection characteristics of ultrasonic waves are fully utilized to generate 3D depth data in real-time. This technology can accurately measure the distance between the fingerprint surface and the skin, thereby precisely determining the texture pattern of the fingerprint.

Compared to traditional optical fingerprint technology, ultrasonic fingerprint technology adopts a 3D verification method rather than just 2D. This means it can more accurately recognize fingerprints with three-dimensional topographies, providing users with higher security. Whether the fingerprint is clean, dirty, wet, or located beneath the skin, ultrasonic fingerprint technology can accurately capture and recognize it.

However, it is worth noting that as a mid-range model, the iQOO Neo9s Pro+ has to make some trade-offs while introducing single-point ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint technology. For example, to control costs, it may not adopt a metal frame, and in terms of battery capacity, it may also be slightly inferior compared to some competitors. These factors are undoubtedly important considerations for users who value the phone's appearance and battery life.

Moreover, the phone may offer storage options of 16GB+512GB and 16GB+1TB, and will be equipped with Blue Factory's self-developed super-computing independent graphics chip and a 50MP main camera. It is said that the phone will offer extreme cost-effectiveness. Judging from the currently available Snapdragon 8 Gen3 models, the starting price of the realme GT5 Pro is as low as 3299 yuan, and according to the current market price, it has dropped below 3000 yuan. If the iQOO Neo9S Pro+ is even cheaper, it is speculated that it may also fall within the 3000 yuan range.

For reference, iQOO just released the Neo9S Pro last month, equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor, a self-developed gaming chip Q1, and a starting price of 2699 yuan.

The iQOO Neo9S Pro features a 6.78-inch 1.5K 144Hz 8T LTPO straight screen, supports 2160Hz PWM full high-frequency dimming, up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM + 1TB UFS 4.0 storage, a built-in 5160mAh battery, and supports 120W fast charging.

The iQOO Neo9S Pro boasts the same imaging system as Blue Factory's flagship models, including the same 50MP IMX920 sensor, the same 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and the same imaging algorithm.

In addition, from a configuration perspective, the iQOO Neo9s Pro+ hardly has any flaws. As a non-flagship model, it deserves praise for providing a single-point ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint unlock module, which many Android flagship models still only offer short-focus optical fingerprint recognition modules. However, the plastic frame may cause some controversy, suggesting that the phone may lack in texture. Recently, many netizens have also started demanding that phone manufacturers re-adopt metal frames at lower price points.

Finally, according to the leaks, if the phone has already been registered with the network, its official announcement should not be far off. Interested friends, stay tuned!
