Key specifications of the iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition have been leaked; it may feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC

The launch of the iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition is rumored to take place in April.

iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition is said to launch later this year. The handset will likely join the iQoo Neo 9 lineup, which was unveiled in China in December last year. The lineup consists of the iQoo Neo 9 and an iQoo Neo 9 Pro. The latter also made its way to India. Ahead of any official details about the Racing Edition, a tipster has suggested some key features of the purported smartphone. The iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition is said to feature the same chipset as the Realme GT Neo 6.

Tipster Digital Chat Station shared in a Weibo post that a new iQoo Neo 9 variant could launch soon. They did not confirm the moniker but a MySmartPrice report suggests that it could be the iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition. It is tipped to feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K 8T LTPO OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 2,160Hz PWM dimming rate. The 8T LTPO technology is said to help reduce power consumption and therefore increase battery efficiency.

The tipster added that the iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition could be powered by a chipset codenamed SM8635 that is said to be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The same processor is also tipped to be equipped on the Realme GT Neo 6.

Additionally, the iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition is rumored to feature a dual rear camera setup, which may consist of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX920 primary sensor and a secondary 8-megapixel sensor accompanied by an ultrawide lens, mirroring the configuration found in the base iQoo Neo 9 model. According to the report from MSP, the handset is expected to debut in April. Further details regarding the phone are anticipated to emerge as its launch date approaches.
