The feeling of "new ship", iQOO Neo9 Pro evaluation: Tianji 9300+IMX920 from 2999 yuan


The iQOO Neo9/Neo9 Pro was released on the evening of December 27, 23, and was the flagship of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 at a cost of 2299 yuan and Tianji 9300 times at a cost of 2999 yuan.

The iQOO Neo9 series is mainly characterized by different SoC chips/ultra wide-angle/GPS specifications, consistent appearance/3D size/weight, screen/main camera/battery/fast charge, and all of them have video self-developed e-sports chip Q1.

Neo9/Neo9 Pro is the latest two mobile phones to be released in 2023. As a result, one of our evaluations was written to the next year

Did iQOO change its packaging style? Who will tell me where the sun will come out in 2024?


The iQOO Neo9 Pro, like the iQOO 12 series and vivo X100 series, has also delivered the most environmentally friendly mobile phone original fast charging head - the V12060L0A0-CN from Jinhu OEM.

Gallium nitride at port C, 100W PPS/PD public protocol (65W in the previous generation), compatible with QC5 and UFCS. Notebooks and future mobile phones can be used, and the charging head is small in size and weight, environmentally friendly and civilized.

If a word is used to describe the appearance of iQOO Neo9 Pro, it is Qingxiu. Against the background of friends, iQOO Neo9 Pro looks very beautiful.

This story tells us that the "shared area" harms people. Next to the camera, there are several shared decorative blocks that can be parked in the aircraft carrier formation. In addition to increasing the weight and cost, eggs are useless!!! ¥@!# ¥……¥*@

Without the plastic bracket, it is not as narrow as the iQOO frame. The narrow edge is added with a 2.5D arc screen, which is unexpectedly exquisite (the screen size and proportion are the same as those of the previous generation, but it is a large circle smaller).

All three color combinations are good this time. Our "Marine Blue" is color matched. There is a reflection similar to pearlescent white under the smooth glass, which best fits this simple design. However, the 190g weight of the "Red and White Soul" plain leather color matching (6g lighter than the glass version) is too attractive, while the "Fighting Black" color matching has AG glass.

  • Workmanship: The keys are slightly empty and hard to touch. The gap control is OK.

  • feel: 7.99/8.34mm thick and 190/196g in weight, it even bit the offline machine of Glory 100 Pro, which is lighter and thinner than the vivo X100. Who could have expected that the lightest and thinnest of this new machine would be iQOO??? Is there anything hidden in this world?

  • Short focus optical fingerprint recognition, low position

  • The vibration force of 9595 X-axis motor is OK, and the tightness is average

  • The external volume and sound quality are also OK. It is 50 to 50 with K70 series, better than X100 series

  • With IP54 NFC、 infra-red However, in this generation, the Pro version cancels the under screen dual pressure+dual X-axis motor, which is a little pity.


Objective test: screen&performance&heating&endurance&charging

(In the screen test, the longer the brightness color bar, the better, and the shorter the color deviation color bar, the better)

The iQOO Neo9 Pro series is a 6.78 inch 144Hz 1.5K 8T LTPO central perforated straight screen OLED (2.5D radian at the edge), 10bit, 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, provided by Vicino/BOE. 2800x1260452ppi, full white excitation 1400 nit, local 3000 nit.

  • The brightness and color accuracy of the iQOO Neo9 Pro screen are slightly weaker than those of the X100 series. In the actual non HDR test, the total white level is 1200 nits, and 10% of the parts are close to 1600 nits, which is basically enough (in fact, it depends more on whether the system dares to release the automatic brightness).

  • The white center is 526 nits, the four corners are 525/534/533/540 nits, the maximum difference is 15 nits, and the uniformity performance is OK.

  • The color accuracy performance is slightly weaker than that of the previous generation, mainly because the sRGB color gamut of the professional mode is not fully covered, which affects the performance, and it will look a little bit bleak.

Now it is low brightness 2160Hz high-frequency PWM, but medium high brightness low-frequency PWM. The press conference said Full brightness 2160Hz firmware (switch in developer mode), minimum 0.03 SVM, but no OTA on January 3.

According to the latest news, One week at the earliest, iQOO 12 series, vivo X100 series and iQOO Neo9 series will break away from the bitter sea of medium high brightness low-frequency PWM dimming.


CPU performance test (for each column, the longer the color bar, the stronger it is)


GPU performance test (for each column, the longer the color bar, the stronger it is)


Flash memory read/write performance (the longer the color bar is for each column, the stronger it is)



Old AndroBench test (iQOO Neo9 Pro is the only Snapdragon 8 Gen 3/Tianji 9300 that can run this test)

The iQOO Neo9 Pro is a Tianji 9300, equipped with LPDDR5x memory+UFS 4.0 flash memory, 6043m ㎡ stainless steel VC, and self developed e-sports chip Q1.

The actual performance is close to that of the ordinary X100/X100 Pro with non LPDDR5T memory. The differences in memory specifications are mainly reflected in GPU peak performance, but the gap is far smaller than we expected. For CPU, iQOO Neo9 Pro performs better.

In the "Egg Mark" test using the traditional library, except for the iQOO 12 Pro and K70 Pro, the random write performance of most new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3/Tianji 9300 machines is very weak, and the iQOO Neo9 Pro is no exception, even lower than the X100 Pro. But in the traditional AndroBench test, its random write performance is better than that of the previous generation (our database, only one of its own can run in the same generation).


The iQOO Neo9 Pro can fully open 8 nuclear firepower in application switching, but it may have learned from the experience of the X100 series before, Tianji 9300 Now the mid load scenario in the application has become conservative, and the CPU scheduling in well-known games such as Eating Chicken/Yuanshen is also more reasonable . The direct effect is that its power consumption in the endurance test of Peace Elite is significantly lower than X100 Pro.

Although there is no LPDDR5T memory With Tianji 9300 and stronger cooling configuration, iQOO Neo9 Pro is the mobile phone with the highest limit of games, without double quotation marks.

The self-developed E-sports chip Q1 supports 144FPS superframe of 100+games, 37 superframe games (games such as Yuanshen can be concurrent with 1.5K 144Hz superframe superframe superframe), and superframe superframe concurrency of 8 video platforms such as Station B, iQiyi and Tencent.

The effect of super minute is really more exquisite than that of the higher resolution 2K super minute of the friends, and it does not need to restart the game to switch the super minute, which really deserves the name of an independent chip.

The iQOO Neo9 Pro is also the same as the X100 series in terms of global high brush (starting at 90Hz). To break the limit, you can enter * # * # 4244 # * # * on the dial interface and force the forced high brush switch of each APP to be called.


(Room temperature 24.7 degrees, 200 nit screen brightness)


The heat dissipation performance of the whole machine is good. The temperature difference between the central area of the rear cover and the SoC area is 2 degrees, and the heat conduction effect is better than that of green friends.

but The iQOO Neo9 Pro's temperature control is quite conservative The maximum temperature of 3DMark toaster is 48.2 degrees, and the temperature control line is above 48 degrees (X100 Pro toaster can also reach 49 degrees). Compared with K70 Pro, which can reach 54 degrees, it will suffer more in stability test.

The actual 3DMark Wild Life Ulimited test stability is 64%, the Extreme Ulimited test stability is 67.7%, and the Solar Bay test stability is 57.7%. Thermal stability is weaker than K70 Pro, slightly higher than X100 Pro, and obviously better than GT5 Pro and One Plus 12 (The stability of the two is poor, mainly because the performance of the initial section is too open, and the heat dissipation of the rear can not be fully stretched).

 

The room temperature is 23.5 ℃. After 20 minutes of "Peace Elite" HDR+extreme frames+anti aliasing, the maximum temperature is 37.7 ℃, which is quite cool. The actual power consumption is also lower than other flagship models.


(Endurance test: the test environment is 23.5 degrees of room temperature, 200 nits of screen brightness, and the test power range is 30% to 80%. It includes 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" HDR HD+limit frames+anti aliasing, 30 minutes of 1080P video playback on station B, 30 minutes of short video on microblog, 30 minutes of Wi Fi and 5G surf, a total of 2.5 hours)

The 5160mAh battery, together with the more conservative Tianji 9300, makes the iQOO Neo9 Pro directly equal the real GT Neo5 (Snapdragon 7+Gen 2 with 5500mAh battery), which is stronger than the X100 Pro (because the X100 Pro hides the extra power in the last 6%).


(The charging test starts at 1%. The longer the color bar in the same line, the faster the speed is ↑. The vivo super fast charging mode/OPPO intelligent super fast charging/millet fast charging acceleration and low power fast charging and other functions have been turned on. Some manufacturers/models turn off relevant functions by default and need to turn them on manually)

The 5160mAh battery of iQOO Neo9 Pro+120W fast charge (compatible with 44W PD fast charge), the actual peak value exceeds 102W, the display is 100% in 25 minutes, and the charge is cut off in 26 minutes.

The charging speed is at the upper middle level of the blue factory, faster than the vivo X100, but close to the fastest 100W fast charging such as One Plus 12.


Photo: The egg is exploding

The camera part of iQOO Neo9 Pro can be understood as the smaller aperture and the removal of the long focus vivo X100 (X100 standard version is F1.57 aperture and 7P lens). It claims the same image algorithm:

  • 50 million pixels for main camera, IMX920 VCS main camera, 1 μ m, 1/1.49 "(photography 1/1.56"), F1.88+OIS, 6P lens, equivalent 23mm

  • Ultra wide angle 50 million pixels, JN1, 1/2.76 ", 0.64 μ m, F2.0, with 3.5mm macro, equivalent 15mm (also the same model of X100)

  • 16 million pixels in front, 1 μ m, 1/3.1 ", F2.45, equivalent 27mm

Our competitors this time are Redmi K70 Pro and GT5 Pro, who are absolutely superior


Redmi K70 Pro:

  • Main shot 5000W, light and shadow hunter 800, 1 μ m, 1/1.55 ", F1.68+OIS (there are also dual native ISO Fusion Max 13.2EV)

  • Ultra wide angle 1200W, OV13B10, 1.12 μ m, 1/3.06 ", F2.2120 degree viewing angle

  • Double telephoto, light and shadow hunter 4005000W, 1/2.88 ", 0.6 μ m

Real GT5 Pro:

  • Main camera 5000W, LYT-808, 1.12 μ m, 1/1.4 ", F1.69+OIS, equivalent 23mm, 7P lens (Find N3 is LYT-T808)

  • Ultra wide angle 800W, IMX355, 1.12 μ m, 1/4 '', F2.2, 5P lens

  • 2.7 times periscope telephoto IMX8905000W, 1 μ m, 1/1.56 ", F2.6+OIS, equivalent 65mm, 25cm focusing, 5P lens, 4K Dolby Vision video recording

Although people still scold the plastic smell of computational photography, vivo's night view algorithm is really popular. The first impression is really strong. The film rate of light and weak light scenes is significantly higher than that of friends, and rarely mixed.

The main camera is unexpectedly strong. The real person LYT-808 who lost to OV50H before (about the same as one plus 12) cannot win the IMX920 of iQOO Neo9 Pro in the night scene. Its 2x digital zoom is also slightly stronger. The K70 Pro's OIS free small bottom long focus is indeed a little stronger in the daytime (weak light cannot be triggered, but the call is very active), but the light scene is overshadowed by iQOO.

The iQOO Neo9 Pro leads the most competitors in the same level. It's super wide-angle. You say it's annoying. This F2.0 aperture JN1 has a slightly smaller field of vision and a general edge image quality control, but it can be exchanged for faster night scene imaging and stronger detail performance.  

However, there is no physical telephoto. In the face of an opponent like me, whose telephoto cost is higher than that of the main camera, he will suffer a lot.


summary

The iQOO Neo9 series of this generation is really a "big change in temperament". As you can see now, this is a "new ship" iQOO.

The previous iQOO Neo is a straight man's game to mobile phones; The current iQOO Neo9 series has a normal and elegant appearance, and a thinner feel than its peers. Even the temperature control is obviously more conservative than before, and it is completely OK to buy it for your girlfriend/wife.

Because of the performance of Tianji 9300 and the super division and super frame of the E-sports chip Q1, it is still half a game phone, and it also has quite strong endurance, focus and good super wide-angle.

Before updating the full brightness 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, the screen was its main weakness.

We also thought the plastic middle frame was a hard wound. However, it is 13 to 19g lighter than the K70 series, and our faith in the metal middle frame is impacted when the real machine is used, It's not because it's 300 yuan cheaper than the K70 Pro. Don't misunderstand (the price difference is all on the 2K screen that is more eye friendly)

The iQOO Neo9 Pro is 1000 yuan cheaper than the iQOO 12 standard version. When replaced by the Fage camp, it has a 50/50 main camera and super wide angle. The core difference is in the metal middle frame and the telephoto.


Comparison Table 4 Continued ↓

Finally, let's talk about the standard version of iQOO Neo9.

The standard version is single frequency GPS+dual frequency Beidou+single frequency Galileo+single frequency QZSS, and Pro is dual frequency GPS+four frequency Beidou+triple frequency Galileo+dual frequency QZSS. There must be a gap in positioning performance, but dual frequency GPS is popular after 2018, and people have never said that positioning cannot be used before, But for the price difference of 700 yuan It is not enough to say no.
