The series consists of iQoo Neo 9 and iQoo Neo 9 Pro. The latter also made its way to India. Before any official details about the Racing Edition, a tipster suggested some key features of the alleged smartphone. The iQoo Neo 9 Racing Edition is said to feature the same chipset as the Realme GT Neo 6.

Tipster digital chat station shared on Weibo post that a new variant of the iQoo Neo 9 may be coming soon.

The MSP report added that the phone could be launched in April. More details about the phone are likely to emerge closer to its launch.
