Build Quality:

The iqoo neo 9 pro has a dual tone leather finish slim design that looks premium and also feels like seat covers.

This slim and lightweight with strong gripped design gives you a comfortable to hold.

The plastic frame and faux leather back will make us feel cheaper, Also seeing the price range this design don’t feel as premium

The V-store notifications are annoying, a really bad experience.

Haptics and Speakers will give you a premium sound experience

The In-Display Fingerprint Sensor is positioned a bit lower than usual and it is not comfortable to use.

Display Quality:

As usual it has a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, supports a 144Hz refresh rate, also comes with variable refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz and its sharp visuals make it best suitable for daily use activity.

Excellent outdoor usage phone because of its vibrant colors, 3000 nits of peak brightness make the screen visible in direct sunlight.

The presence of SGS Eye Care certification will reduce eye strain, also it is advisable not to use long nights without room light.

It’s perfect for watching Netflix or YouTube in HDR, though the MEMC technology can cause occasional frame skips during fast-action scenes.

For me the MEMC technology is not fully optimized because, leading to minor issues in fast scenes.

Camera Performance For Iqoo Neo 9 Pro:

The combination of 50MP Sony sensor and sharp edge detection features will take the portrait photos ultra clear and make you wow.

You will notice stabilization issues and reflections while 4K video recording. But the night-time videos are really impressive.

The amazing camera output will attract many photography enthusiasts.

The only drawback is the video stabilization needs improvement especially for fast movements.

The 8MP ultra-wide photos will be good but not great like Motorola.

The 16MP front camera is detailed with clear photos and liked by normal users because the zooming features will not be as detailed.

Iqoo Neo 9 Pro Processor Performance and Gaming:

The iqoo neo 9 pro has one of the best dual chop processors, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and a Q1 supercomputing chip, that is best suitable for smooth performance and fast handling of multitasking activity.

While coming to gaming its quick and responsive with lag free performance attracts many mobile gamers.

Also it has some negative features. The gaming experience has gotten many good reviews by youtubers and people.

The good news is even after extended gaming the phone stays cool.

Minor performance drops when connected to Android Auto or during heavy multitasking.

Battery Life:

The battery is really appreciable because of its excellent optimization, that provides full day backup for moderate usage, which menace not heavy gaming and high time OTT views.

Also the charging is incredibly fast, reaching 50% in just 11 minutes with the help of 120W fast charger.

No wireless charging available is a real drawback considering its price.
