Vivo’s sub-brand released its brand new flagship devices, the iQOO 9 and 9 Pro.
Both the iQOO 9 and 9 Pro boasts some of the top-tier specs you’d find on modern flagships. That said, it’s no surprise they are powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and 120W wired fast charging that promises a full charge in under 20 minutes.
The vanilla model gets to have a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel, with a fast 120Hz refresh rate and 1,500-nits of peak brightness. It then has a 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization.
Meanwhile, the Pro model is essentially the same. Only this time, it has a sharper 3200 x 1440 pixel resolution, LTPO 2.0 display technology, and an adaptive refresh rate that can go from 1Hz to 120Hz.
The Pro variant also has an uptraded 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and has support for fast 50W wireless charging with 10W reverse wireless charging support for your accessories.
You can get the iQOO 9 for a starting price of CNY3,999 (around Php32,100) for the 8GB/256GB variant, CNY4,399 (around Php35,300) for the 12GB/256GB, and CNY4,799 (around Php38,500) for the 12GB/512GB
Meanwhile, the iQOO 9 Pro retails for CNY4,999 (around Php40,100) for the 8GB/256GB, CNY5,499 (around Php44,100) for the 12GB/256GB, while the top-of-the-line 12GB/512GB variant is at CNY5,999 (around Php48,100). Both models will be available in China this January 12, and hopefully, they finally make their way in the Philippines soon.
