The first impression of seeing the iQOO Neo9 Pro Red and White Soul Edition: this is too "game", right?
The red bezel and back cover of this mobile phone are already eye-catching, and the contrast design of a touch of white makes it easy for me to think of a red and white machine. That's right, it's the game console that brought joy to many people's childhood!
Having said that, the iQOO Neo9 Pro is the dual-core performance flagship with the best feel, and the Dimensity 9300 and the self-developed gaming chip Q1 are blessings, which are aimed at the gaming experience. So what exactly is the experience like?
Design. The iQOO Neo9 Pro is available in three colors: Red and White Soul, Nautical Blue and Fighting Black, and the one in our hands is a red and white soul version, and the back cover is made of plain leather. The large area of red on the back of the phone is just right with a white color, and the camera module, "NEO", "Time to Play", and "IQOO" logos are all in white leather, which also looks very regular and orderly.
Coming to the front, the iQOO Neo9 Pro comes with a piece of 678 inch 15K resolution 144Hz refresh rate screen, 8T circuit design, global excitation brightness up to 1400 nits, support LTPO. However, the biggest visual change of this screen is actually that the screen bezel is narrower, and due to the elimination of the screen bracket, the visual experience is on a higher level.
By the way, in terms of eye protection, the iQOO Neo9 Pro has also passed the SGS low blue light certification and the SGS low flicker certification, and the body thickness of the iQOO Neo9 Pro red and white soul version is 834mm and weighs 190g. It's not very thin, but fortunately, the weight control is good, and when the phone is held horizontally to play games, I personally don't just happen to touch any camera modules, and it feels very refreshing!
Performance. The iQOO Neo9 Pro is powered by the Dimensity 9300 processor, which uses TSMC's 4nm process, has an eight-core CPU design, and is equipped with a seventh-generation AI processor APU 790, which is also supplemented by a full-blooded version of LPDDR5X memory and UFS 40 flash.
I believe you also know that the tuning of the Dimensity processor still depends on the blue factory, and the iQOO Neo9 Pro is also the Dimensity 9300, which is an absolute flagship treatment. In addition, iQOO Neo9 Pro is also equipped with iQOO's self-developed e-sports chip Q1, which can bring experience such as game super-resolution and super-frame.
In terms of running scores, we tested Antutu with a score of 2154026, Geekbench 6 with a single-core score of 2229 points, a multi-core score of 7453 points, and a 3DMark Wilde Life Extreme score of 4844 points.
In terms of heat dissipation, iQOO Neo9 Pro adopts a 6K skylight VC liquid cooling system, 6043mm VC vapor chamber can accelerate the heat dissipation performance of the core part, and this time the mobile phone screen also added a layer of full-coverage graphite heat dissipation film, which can reduce the temperature of the screen.
In fact, in addition to the heat dissipation power of the phone itself, if you want to pursue the ultimate performance, you might as well take a look at this iQOO Cooling Clip 2 released with the iQOO Neo9 Pro.
The official promotional unit of this back clip can cool down by up to 30C, which can achieve frosting at room temperature. At the same time, the biggest highlight is that the software level is adapted to the mobile phone, and the exclusive "monster+" mode is automatically turned on after Bluetooth connection, so that the mobile phone can release more powerful performance.
We also selected a few games for performance testing, first of all, "Honor of Kings" extreme image quality, extremely high frame rate, these are naturally small for Neo9 Pro. The whole process of the actual measurement is almost maintained at 120 frames, and there is no lag, and the power consumption is only 435w。
At present, iQOO Neo9 Pro supports the superresolution + superframe of "Genshin Impact" through the blessing of the self-developed e-sports chip Q1, such as achieving 15K resolution with 72 fps, or 900p resolution with 144 fps to meet everyone's needs for higher resolution and higher frame rates.
We tested it in both modes, starting with 15K resolution with 72 frames of superframe, 20 minutes of the test tool shows an average frame rate of 36 frames, 2x interpolation is exactly 72 frames, and the power consumption is 512w。
The 900p with 144 fps in superframe mode, the test tool shows an average frame rate of 48 fps after 20 minutes, 3x interpolation is exactly 144 fps, and the power consumption is 502w。
Genshin Impact 15K resolution with 72 fps overframe temperature.
900p with 144 fps Super Frame Mode temperature.
When we were testing Genshin Impact, we also conducted a body temperature test, and when the room temperature was around 29, we could see playing Genshin Impact 1At 5K resolution with 72 fps superframe, the maximum temperature is 39 on the back. 900p with 144 fps in superframe mode, the maximum temperature of the phone appears on the front at 38.
What about the iQOO Neo9 Pro's gaming performance with the iQOO Cooling Clip 2?After using the cooling clip, the iQOO Neo9 Pro is able to turn on the monster+ mode, which can achieve 1. in Genshin ImpactThe ultimate experience of 5K super-resolution with 144 frames of super-frame.
It is worth mentioning that the iQOO cooling back clip 2 has three adjustable wind shields, although the maximum gear sound is a bit loud, but the heat dissipation is really powerful, the measured frame rate is very stable for half an hour, the experience is very smooth, and the power consumption is only 6616w。
In terms of temperature, due to the blessing of the heat dissipation clip, the temperature performance during the game is very good, and when you take off the heat dissipation clip, you can see that the temperature of the part covered by the back clip is the lowest, and the highest temperature part of the whole machine is only 34.
Imaging and charging experience.
The iQOO Neo9 Pro is equipped with a Sony IMX920 main camera, 1 149 inches, 23mm focal length, support OIS optical image stabilization, and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 ultra-wide angle, 15mm focal length, support 35cm macro screen.
In terms of software algorithms, iQOO Neo9 Pro supports the NICE algorithm of the blue factory, providing texture, vivid, natural and other modes, as well as 2X portrait shooting modes.

Macro shooting. After using it in the past few days, I personally feel that the iQOO Neo9 Pro can meet the needs of daily shooting, and the above samples are all shot by the iQOO Neo9 Pro, so you can feel it.
In terms of charging, the iQOO Neo9 Pro has a built-in 5160mAh equivalent battery and supports 120W super flash charging. The actual measurement starts from 3%, it can be charged to 30% in 5 minutes, 53% in 10 minutes, 73% in 15 minutes, 90% in 20 minutes, and only 25 minutes to 100%.
It is worth mentioning that the charger equipped with iQOO Neo9 Pro is a C port, and this charger also supports 100W PD protocol and 100W PPS protocol, which also means that it can be compatible with many other digital devices, such as charging laptops, cameras and other devices.
