Very top

Outwardly and in some characteristics, the iQOO 9 Pro is similar to the basic iQOO 9, but there are still features that put it head and shoulders above. And the most important of them is the camera. It consists of three modules: a 50 MP Samsung GN5 sensor with an optical stabilization system, a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle fisheye lens with a viewing angle of as much as 150 degrees and a 16 MP portrait telephoto lens. The smartphone also offers a fun fisheye macro mode.

Like all smartphones of the line, the older model is equipped with 6,78-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED display with an extremely narrow 1.7mm bezel. However, it uses a screen with rounded edges and LPTO technology, which automatically changes the image refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz depending on the content. The display has 2K resolution (3200 × 1400 pixels), peak brightness up to 1500 nits, 100% P3 color gamut and 1000Hz instant touch input speed, and ultrasonic 3D sensor fingerprint unlocks your device in just 0.2 seconds.

Inside, a top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor is installed in conjunction with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. Since the entire family is positioned as a gaming family, a 3923 square mm evaporation chamber is used for cooling.

Like the usual iQOO 9, a 4700 mAh battery with support for 120 W fast charging is responsible for autonomy. Besides, Pro version Supports 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse charging.
