If iQOO's digital series is a flagship experience that explores upwards, then the NEO series is more focused on performance and cost-effectiveness. When it comes to the iQOO Neo9, what kind of strong performance and extreme cost performance can they create?Let's experience it today.
Compared with previous generations of products, the appearance of iQOO neo9 is undoubtedly more flamboyant, especially the "red and white soul" color scheme in our hands, as the name suggests, it adopts a red and white color contrast design, which corresponds to the white carbon fiber texin leather and the red skin feel of the two materials of lychee vein, which collide with a unique visual impact in simplicity.
The design of the iQOO neo9 series also reflects this pursuit of simplicity. The number of cameras is still two, and the cameras have the same silver circle, which is vertically arranged at the top end of the plain leather of the white part, and there is a white plain leather on the left side that is also a decorative surface. Of course, this look and feel is unique to the red and white soul colorway, and the other two colors don't have this unique feeling.
As for the middle frame, although no metal material is used, the overall texture is still relatively good, and the plastic bracket is removed, which further presents a concise look and feel, and also makes the straight screen look more neat, from these points of view, iQOO neo9 is still a machine with more ideas.
It is also necessary to highlight the body parameters of the iQOO Neo9, which has a thickness of only 799mm (glass version), the weight is only 196g (glass version), and the weight of this plain leather version in our hands is even lighter than 190g, which is quite commendable among similar products.
The reason why the iQOO Neo9 has been emphasizing the price-performance ratio of the iQOO Neo9 is naturally inseparable from the generosity of this standard version model in terms of hardware configuration. It is powered by the second-generation Snapdragon 8, the flagship platform of the previous generation, and theoretically achieves quite good performance. We also used it for a theoretical running score, and it can achieve a score of 1.68 million points in Antutu, which is already quite a good level.
As for the actual game performance, we also used flagship-level standards to conduct a run-map test of Sumeru City in Genshin Impact. As you can see, its overall frame rate curve is still relatively stable, and the final average frame rate can come to 59At 4 frames, the performance is pretty good. Compared with the new generation of flagships equipped with a new generation platform, its final frame rate score is actually not much inferior, that is, the frame rate fluctuates relatively more, from this point of view, the iQOO Neo9 Standard Edition does have flagship-level performance.
In terms of image configuration, as mentioned earlier, iQOO Neo9 is still equipped with a rear dual camera, but the main camera is upgraded to the same IMX920 outsole main camera as the image flagship, and the secondary camera is equipped with an ultra-wide angle of 8 million pixel sensors, and the overall configuration is still relatively good among similar products.
In the samples, we can also see that with the blessing of textured colors, the picture performance of the iQOO neo9 is indeed very special, and it can also show relatively good details in the richness, so that the otherwise plain daytime scene shows a different brilliance. Of course, it also offers a vibrant and natural color scheme, but if you don't like this rich one, you can also try other color schemes.
Textured colors. 
Vivid colors. When it comes to the night, the performance of iQOO neo9 is still **, the overall night scene atmosphere is still relatively sufficient, without losing the flavor, as much as possible to show the due details, which may also be the effect of the main camera's outsole, after all, the ultra-wide angle of 8 million pixels is naturally slightly inferior at this time, fortunately, its color performance style is quite consistent with the main camera, which is still worth adding points.
Earlier we talked about the iQOO Neo9's thin and light body, but what is surprising is that it is not only thin and light, but also has a good battery life, equipped with a large battery equivalent to 5160mAh, and can also support 120W flash charging, which also makes this model have another possible shortcoming.
The large battery also brings quite good battery life, as you can see, in low-intensity social **browsing and *** scenes, the power consumption of iQOO neo9 is very low, and in the extremely high load of "Genshin Impact", it ensures the frame rate experience at the same time, but also controls the power consumption well, and the overall battery life performance is relatively good.
With the blessing of 120W flash charging, the charging speed of the iQOO Neo9 is also quite excellent, charging from 2% to 100% in just 23 minutes, which is also similar to the many iQOO 120W fast charging machines we have tested before, which is a good experience for iQOO products.
If the iQOO Neo9 Pro equipped with Dimensity 9300 is a performance flagship that achieves "leapfrogging" in performance, then the iQOO Neo9 equipped with the second-generation Snapdragon 8 is a cost-effective flagship responsible for grounding.
After achieving excellent performance and long-term battery life, iQOO neo9 also brings an excellent body feel, and after looking at these experiences, it is actually stuck in a relatively unique position, and it does not face too many competitors at present, and at the same time, there is still a lack of such a product on the market. Judging from the sincere pricing, the iQOO Neo9 Standard Edition is already very competitive, and while developing its own performance positioning, it can also win the favor of some users who like a light and thin feel, and I believe it can also achieve good results after it is launched.
