The iQOO Neo9S Pro+ has a pretty long name and it rightfully one-ups the Neo9 Pro by incorporating Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. It replaces the Dimensity 9300+ found in the non-Plus variant and it’s again configurable with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. The other notable change is the 5,500 mAh battery compared to the 5,160 mAh cell on the Pro. It still supports 120W charging but should offer some improved endurance. This device also gets a slightly larger 1/1.56” customized 50MP IMX921 main camera sensor with OIS. The rest of the specs are identical – a 6.78-inch LTPO...

The chipset’s processing power is leveraged for a variety of AI tasks and (for the first time on a Z Flip) the heat is reined in by a vapor chamber. Additionally, the phone now comes with 12GB of RAM (up from 8GB last year) and 256GB or 512GB of storage. The main camera has been...

The Red Magic 9S Pro and 9S Pro+ arrive with a beefed up chipset and improved cooling.

Red Magic 9S Pro The company boasts that the 9S Pro has achieved an AnTuTu score of 2,369,542 points, the highest of any Android yet.
