iQOO 9 Pro to boast 120Hz screen, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
iQOO is working to launch its 9 series of flagship phones in China on January 5. The line-up will include the 9 and 9 Pro models. In the latest development, the company has shared teaser images of the Pro variant, revealing key specifications of its display. It will sport a 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with 1,500-nits of brightness and an integrated ultrasonic fingerprint reader.
- The iQOO 9 Pro will have a premium design and a top-tier LTPO AMOLED display with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which will unlock the phone even if your hands are wet or dirty.
- Most of the current flagship smartphones feature optical in-display fingerprint readers and iQOO's implementation of an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor will give the 9 Pro an edge over its rivals.
The iQOO 9 Pro will feature a centrally-aligned punch-hole cut-out, slim bezels, curved edges, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. On the rear, there will be a triple camera unit. The device will likely bear a 6.78-inch QHD+ (1440x3200 pixels) LTPO AMOLED screen with a 20:9 aspect ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, a 1,000Hz touch sampling rate, and 1,500-nits of peak brightness.
The iQOO 9 Pro will reportedly sport a triple rear camera module, comprising a 50MP primary shooter with OIS, a 50MP, 150-degree ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP telephoto sensor with 2.5x optical zoom and OIS support. Up front, it may have a 32MP selfie snapper.
The iQOO 9 Pro will draw power from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. It will boot Android 12-based OriginOS Ocean UI and house a 4,700mAh battery with 120W fast-charging and 50W wireless charging support. For connectivity, the handset should offer support for Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a Type-C port.
The official pricing and availability information of iQOO 9 Pro will be announced at the time of launch next week. Based on the rumored specifications and features, it will be priced at around CNY 4,700 (roughly Rs. 55,000).
