At the end of November, iQOO confirmed that it would announce the iQOO Neo 9 series of sub-flagship phones in China. Since the brand is still silent on the launch date, it appears that the Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro may debut by the end of this month. Reports have revealed that the Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro have V2338A and V2339A model numbers, respectively. The Pro model was recently approved by the 3C authority of China, and now the standard variant has also been approved by the said certification platform.
