iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

Introduction

The iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ is the real, separately launched Plus variant of the Neo 9S Pro — not a naming typo. Where the standard Neo 9S Pro uses MediaTek's Dimensity 9300+, the Pro+ switches to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, adds a bigger 5500mAh battery, and becomes iQOO's first sub-flagship with an ultrasonic 3D in-display fingerprint sensor. Everything else — the 6.78-inch 144Hz LTPO AMOLED, dual 50MP cameras, 120W charging — carries over. This guide covers its full specifications, expected price in Pakistan, and what the grey-market reality means for buyers.

iQOO has never officially launched in Pakistan, so every iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ sold locally is an import kit from another market (usually China). That means there is no official Pakistani price, no local warranty, and the device must pass through PTA/DIRBS registration with the tax applying per device and per IMEI — never assume that one unit's status applies to another.

Design and Build Quality

At 163.53 x 75.68 x 7.99 mm and about 193 g, the Pro+ is slim for its class. Colours include Black and Star White with glass backs, plus a Buff Blue version using a leather-style finish with a pixel-pattern texture. The large, off-centre camera deck is pure Neo-series identity. Build frame material was not officially detailed, so treat the frame as unverified.

Display Features

The same excellent panel as the standard Pro: 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED, 1260 x 2800 pixels (~453 ppi), 1–144Hz adaptive refresh, HDR10+, 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and around 1400 nits peak brightness. The big practical upgrade on the Pro+ is the ultrasonic 3D fingerprint sensor, which unlocks in about 0.12 seconds and works with wet fingers — a real step up from optical readers.

Processor and Performance

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm, octa-core: 1x 3.3GHz Cortex-X4, 3x 3.2GHz Cortex-A720, 2x 3.0GHz Cortex-A720, 2x 2.3GHz Cortex-A520) with the Adreno 750 GPU. iQOO pairs it with its Q1 gaming co-processor for super-resolution and super-frame interpolation, and claims an AnTuTu score in the 2.3-million range (manufacturer claim, not independently verified). The 6043mm² vapour-chamber cooling is retained for sustained-load gaming.

RAM and Storage

12GB or 16GB LPDDR5X RAM with 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. No microSD slot. Reported China combinations include 12GB+256GB, 16GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB.

Camera Features

Dual rear: 50MP Sony IMX921 main (f/1.9, OIS) + 50MP ultra-wide with autofocus. Front: 16MP. Rear video reaches 8K. The IMX921 is a slightly different sensor from the IMX920 in the standard Pro, but positioning is the same — a flagship-class main camera with a genuinely useful ultra-wide, and no low-value filler lenses.

Battery and Charging

The Pro+ bumps the cell to 5500mAh while keeping 120W wired charging — iQOO claims a full charge in about 28 minutes. No wireless charging. The combination of the larger battery and the efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 makes endurance the practical headline over the standard Pro.

Software and Updates

It launched with Android 14-based OriginOS 4 (some reports list the variant build as OriginOS 14-era software). Imported units run the China ROM, so Google-service behaviour depends on the unit. No verifiable multi-year update promise was published, so none is claimed here.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Dual nano-SIM, 5G (SA/NSA), Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG, and full GNSS. As with all China-market iQOO phones, check the 5G band list against Pakistani carriers before buying — band support is fixed to the variant.

Variants, Colours and Availability

RAM/storage: 12GB+256GB, 16GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, 16GB+1TB. Colours: Black, Star White, Buff Blue. China-market only — not officially sold in Pakistan.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

Price in Pakistan: the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ was never officially launched in Pakistan, so only unofficial import pricing exists. MobileInto's Pakistan listing (updated 7 Oct 2026) quotes expected unofficial prices from about Rs. 139,999 (12GB+256GB) up to Rs. 167,999 (16GB+1TB). These are expectations, not confirmed market prices — the live figure moves with the dollar and the seller, and the PTA/DIRBS tax is additional. Confirm the current price with the store before buying.

PTA: imported units require individual PTA/DIRBS registration, taxed per device and per IMEI — never assume one unit's status applies to another. What is PTA approval? and how to check PTA approval explain the process.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Key advantages

• Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with Q1 gaming chip — top-tier gaming performance
• Ultrasonic 3D in-display fingerprint sensor — fast, works with wet hands
• 5500mAh battery with 120W charging — bigger cell than the standard Pro
• 6.78-inch 144Hz LTPO AMOLED with 2160Hz PWM dimming
• Dual 50MP cameras (IMX921 main with OIS), 8K video

Key limitations

• Never launched in Pakistan — import kits only, no local warranty
• PTA/DIRBS tax adds significantly to the sticker price
• China-market 5G bands and OriginOS 4 China ROM need checking before purchase
• No wireless charging, no microSD slot
• Large device at ~193 g — not for small hands

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Choose the Pro+ over the standard Neo 9S Pro if you prefer Snapdragon (better emulation and sustained gaming compatibility in many titles), want the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and value the larger battery. Avoid it if you want official warranty support or if the extra import cost over the standard Pro does not fit your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ a real phone or a naming mistake?

It is real — iQOO announced the Neo 9S Pro+ in China in July 2024 as a separate variant with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 5500mAh battery, and ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

What is the iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ price in Pakistan?

Only unofficial figures exist. MobileInto (updated 7 Oct 2026) lists expected unofficial prices of about Rs. 139,999–167,999 depending on the RAM/storage variant. Confirm the live price with the store.

What is the difference between the Neo 9S Pro and the Neo 9S Pro+?

The Pro+ swaps the Dimensity 9300+ for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, grows the battery from 5160mAh to 5500mAh, and adds an ultrasonic (not optical) in-display fingerprint sensor. Display, cameras, and 120W charging are otherwise the same.

Does it have an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor?

Yes — the Pro+ was iQOO's first sub-flagship with a 3D ultrasonic in-display sensor, rated at about 0.12-second unlocks and able to read wet fingers.

How long does the 5500mAh battery last?

With 120W charging it refills in about 28 minutes per iQOO. Independent endurance figures were not verified; expect over a day of heavy use.

Is it PTA approved?

Not automatically. Imported units need individual PTA/DIRBS registration, taxed per device and per IMEI — verify each unit before paying.

Does it support 5G in Pakistan?

The hardware supports 5G SA/NSA, but the band list is the China set — confirm compatibility with Pakistani carrier bands on the specific unit.

Which is better for gaming: the Pro or the Pro+?

Both are flagship-class, but the Pro+'s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 generally sees wider game-by-game optimisation, plus the ultrasonic sensor and bigger battery. Buy based on price gap and availability.

Final Verdict

The Neo 9S Pro+ is the sensible pick of the two 9S variants for buyers who prefer Qualcomm: same stunning display and cameras, a bigger battery, and a genuinely better fingerprint sensor. The caveat is unchanged — it is an import kit, so budget for PTA tax, verify bands, and buy from a seller who will show you the unit's IMEI status.
