Comparing the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, Vivo V30 Pro, and Samsung A55 and finding the best in performance, photography, and longevity. Prices start at INR 37,999.

 iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A55 vs Vivo V30 Pro: Which one to buy? Compare price and specs

<h2>The iQOO Neo 9 Pro leads with top performance and fast charging at INR 37,999. Vivo V30 Pro excels in photography at INR 41,999, while Samsung A55 offers longevity with updates at INR 39,999.</h2>

If you&rsquo;re looking to buy a mid-range smartphone, let&rsquo;s take a look at the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy A55 and the Vivo V3 Pro.
All three smartphones are some of the latest in the market, boasting impressive features and specs. But which should you pick? &nbsp;
Let's explore each phone in detail in our iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A55 vs Vivo V30 Pro comparison.
<h3>Display: iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A55 vs Vivo V30 Pro&nbsp;</h3>
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro offers the largest and most responsive display of the three. Its 6.78-inch AMOLED panel boasts a 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth visuals and reduced motion blur.
The Vivo V30 Pro follows closely with a 6.78-inch AMOLED and 120Hz refresh rate, still providing a fluid visual experience.
While the Samsung Galaxy A55's 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display and 120Hz refresh rate are decent, it's the smallest of the bunch and therefore less immersive for content viewing and gaming.
<h3>Performance: iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A55 vs Vivo V30 Pro&nbsp;</h3>
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro delivers the fastest performance with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and up to 12GB of RAM. This combination provides ample power for demanding apps and multitasking. &nbsp;
The Vivo V30 Pro is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor and 8GB of RAM.
The Samsung Galaxy A55 on the other hand comes with an Exynos 1480 processor and up to 8GB of RAM. It is capable but less powerful compared to the other two options.
<h3>Camera: iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A55 vs Vivo V30 Pro&nbsp;</h3>
The Vivo V30 Pro offers the most versatile camera system with its triple rear setup (50MP main with OIS, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP telephoto) and its high-resolution 50MP front camera. This setup should allow for great flexibility across different shooting scenarios.
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro has a dual rear camera system (50MP main with OIS, 8MP ultrawide), promising good image quality but lacking the telephoto lens of the Vivo.
The Samsung Galaxy A55 also has a triple rear camera system (50MP main with OIS, 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro), but its lower-resolution front camera isn't as well-suited for selfies as the Vivo V30 Pro.
<h3>Battery and Charging: iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A55 vs Vivo V30 Pro&nbsp;</h3>
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro leads in battery and charging. It features a 5160mAh battery with remarkably fast 120W charging, allowing for quick top-ups.
The Vivo V30 Pro has a 5000mAh battery and 80W fast charging, which, although not as fast as the iQOO, still offers fast-charging speeds.
The Samsung Galaxy A55 also has a 5000mAh battery but supports the slowest charging of the three at 25W.
<h3>Pricing: iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A55 vs Vivo V30 Pro&nbsp;</h3>
 The iQOO Neo 9 Pro price starts at Rs 37,999, making it the most competitive.
The Samsung Galaxy A55 price starts at Rs 39,999, placing it slightly higher.
The Vivo V30 Pro price is set at Rs 41,999.
<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A55 vs Vivo V30 Pro: Wich one to buy?</h3>
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro emerges on top in terms of specs and performance alone.
However, the gaming-focused smartphone falls short in comparison to the Vivo V30 Pro when it comes to its cameras given the latter&rsquo;s telephoto and ultra-wide lenses.
Therefore if photography is your priority, the Vivo V30 Pro is a better option with the former offering better specs at a slightly higher price.
As for the Samsung Galaxy A55, users will receive up to four generations of Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates. This secures the phone for the latest features for years to come.&nbsp;
However, our top pick is the iQOO Neo 9 Pro. It makes a compelling case given the price point at which it is being offered and the power that it packs in.

Neo 9 Pro

<h2>The iQOO Neo 9 Pro emerges as India's most budget-friendly option equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It also boasts a top-tier Sony IMX920 camera sensor. Is it the best choice under ₹40,000?</h2>

The new iQOO Neo 9 Pro not only diverges from iQOO&rsquo;s previous design language, but it also aims to redefine what value for money means in the smartphone market.
Packed with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a flagship-grade camera sensor, it&rsquo;s hitting the shelves at a surprisingly affordable ₹35,999.
That sure sounds promising on paper, but how does it stack up in the real world? Let&rsquo;s dive in and see if it lives up to the hype.
<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro Design</h3>
Aesthetically, the Neo 9 Pro is a complete departure form the Neo 7 Pro. This is the first time iQOO has launched a dual tone colour in India, and boy, oh boy, is it impossible to miss!
This dual-tone look mixes red with what&rsquo;s supposed to be off-white, but honestly, it feels more light grey to me, so let&rsquo;s just go with that.
Plus, it&rsquo;s got this textured vegan leather back which means you don&rsquo;t have to worry about fingerprint smudges. And the texture isn&rsquo;t the same for both colors, giving each a distinct vibe.
The red is quite vivid and it extends to the frame of the phone as well.
On the grey side, you'll find two large, vertically stacked camera lenses. Below that is some quirky text - a classic touch from iQOO and Vivo.
Given its lighter hue, the grey area is more susceptible to dirt and stains. So, it will need extra maintenance if you use this phone without a case.
A clear case, by the way, comes bundled.
If this flamboyant red colour is not a cup of your tea, then iQOO also offers a shimmery black that&rsquo;s much easier on the eye.
The phone has a flat, plastic frame and maintains a slim profile at 7.99mm, even with its sizable battery, which we'll talk about later.
<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro Display &amp; Utility</h3>
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro&rsquo;s promise of flagship hardware at a reasonable price starts with its display.&nbsp; This display is lifted off the iQOO 12, which means that what you get is a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED with a 144Hz refresh rate.
Keep in mind that the 144Hz refresh rate is limited to specific games and benchmarks. For everything else, it tops out at 120Hz, still offering a silky smooth scrolling experience.
Furthermore, screen has a resolution of 1.5K and a peak brightness of 3000 nits. This ensures that viewing HDR content on this smartphone is a great experience. And it is further aided by its loud stereo speaker setup.
Also, the Neo 9 Pro&rsquo;s sunlight legibility is excellent.
Moving on, the optical fingerprint reader on this device worked flawlessly in my experience. Like most BBK smartphones, the iQOO Neo 9 Pro also retains an IR blaster which some of you might find really useful for controlling your smart devices at home.
iQOO has also included a basic IP54 dust and water resistance on this smartphone, so it should easily handle the odd splashes of water.
<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro Performance &amp; Software</h3>
As of now, the Neo 9 Pro is India&rsquo;s most affordable smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Even in 2024, this is one beast of a chipset, and its Antutu score is a testament to its excellent performance.&nbsp;Please watch the video to see the Antutu score.
In over 90% use cases, users will not notice any difference between the 8 Gen 2 and 8 Gen 3. But iQOO takes it a notch higher by combining its proprietary Q1 gaming chip with this processor.
Q1 is the same chip that&rsquo;s found on the flagship iQOO 12, and it helps with frame rate interpolation on popular games.
So, you can play Genshin Impact at 144fps as well as at a refresh rate of 144Hz simultaneously.&nbsp; The iQOO "ultra game mode" also comes included, offering enhanced motion control features for popular games such as Call of Duty, providing more precise control when locating enemies.
The phone also boasts a hefty 6k vapor cooling system, featuring a 6043 mm&sup2; vapor chamber &mdash; the biggest in any iQOO phone to date.
During my gaming sessions, the back of the phone managed to stay cool for the most part, although the frame did start to get warm quite quickly.
Additionally, iQOO is providing up to 256GB of high-end UFS 4.0 storage and up to 12GB RAM on this smartphone, but there&rsquo;s also a 8GB and 128GB version which will only be available to purchase from March 21st.
Moving on to the software, you get Vivo&rsquo;s Funtouch OS 14 here that&rsquo;s built on top of Android 14.
Funtouch OS is a fast and feature-rich software. However, it is not the cleanest software around. The bloatware and system app notifications, while lesser than before, are still aplenty.
While you can delete and disable most of these annoyances, you will have to dedicate some time to clean the software up.
iQOO is also promising 3 major Android updates and 4 years of security updates on this smartphone, which is the segment standard.
<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro Camera Review</h3>
The Neo 9 Pro has only two rear cameras while most phones offer three. But iQOO has only deleted the 2MP macro sensor, so that should not be an issue.
What you get here are two functional cameras: a 50MP main and an 8MP ultrawide.
My expectations were high from the main camera since it uses the same Sony IMX920 sensor as the flagship Vivo X100.
Please watch the video to see camera samples.
This camera impresses quite a lot. It takes contrasty photos with great detail and dynamic range. Even portrait mode photos have excellent edge detection and convincing bokeh.
Night mode is also quite good thanks to iQOO&rsquo;s super night vision that brings out the detail and controls highlights pretty well.
You also get 3 colour profiles like other high-end Vivo and iQOO smartphones: Vivid, Textured, and Natural.
I found Vivid to be the best one because it gives a mild saturation boost without going overboard.
The camera also takes impressively stable videos, but I wish that the noise in these was better controlled.
You can also shoot 8K videos with the main camera which is a first on an upper midrange device. The 8MP ultrawide is definitely less impressive than the main sensor, but as long as you give it enough light, it will yield good results.
The 16MP front camera on this smartphone produces accurate skin tones and should keep selfie takers happy.
<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro Battery Life</h3>
The 5,160mAh battery on the Neo 9 Pro, combined with its efficient chipset and LTPO display, ensures solid endurance.
I could easily average over 9 hours of screen time with mixed use which included taking calls, watching videos, and playing games.
As before, you get a super impressive 120W fast charger bundled with this smartphone. It can fully charge it in under half an hour.
Trust me, once you are used to such crazy charging speeds, there is no going back.
<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro Review</h3>
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro is my default recommendation to anyone looking for a smartphone in the sub-₹40,000 price segment.
It offers top-tier performance, a good main camera, and super-fast charging. On the flip side, Funtouch OS can definitely use some decluttering.
But still, the overall value proposition makes the Neo 9 Pro a standout choice in its price range.

On the other hand, the OnePlus 12R offers a similar 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a resolution of 2,780 x 1,264 pixels.
While the iQOO Neo 9 Pro takes the lead with a higher resolution and refresh rate, the OnePlus 12R impresses with exceptional brightness and colour vibrancy, making the competition stiff in the display arena.
<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs OnePlus 12R: Performance </h3>
In terms of performance and storage, both smartphones are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage, whereas the OnePlus 12R offers up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
Here, the iQOO Neo 9 Pro takes the edge with faster storage technology, while the OnePlus 12R provides a higher RAM capacity.
<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs OnePlus 12R: Camera </h3>
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro features a 50MP Sony IMX920 primary camera paired with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, along with a 16MP front camera.
Comparatively, the OnePlus 12R comes equipped with a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro camera, accompanied by a 16MP selfie camera.

<h3>iQOO Neo 9 Pro vs OnePlus 12R: Battery and Charging</h3>
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro is fueled by a 5,160mAh battery with 120W charging support, while the OnePlus 12R packs a larger 5,500mAh battery with 100W charging support.
Predictably, the OnePlus 12R offers a higher capacity battery, while the iQOO Neo 9 Pro excels with faster charging speeds.

<h2>Here is a quick look at the camera performance of the iQOO Neo 9 Pro. It has a 50MP Sony IMX920 sensor which can record 8K videos. Check if this smartphone can take flagship-level photos!</h2>

The upcoming iQOO Neo 9 Pro is touted to be India&rsquo;s most affordable Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered smartphone.&nbsp;
But, let that not distract you from its camera prowess, because this smartphone has a lot of surprises up its sleeve.
It shifts from a traditional camera island to dual-integrated cameras at the back.
It looks pretty neat I must say. But, more importantly, there is no 2MP macro sensor this time around.&nbsp;
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro has a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide.&nbsp;
The main camera is a Sony IMX 920 sensor, which is the same sensor found on the flagship Vivo X100. So you know iQOO is taking cameras quite seriously on this thing.
This camera features OIS, an f/1.88 aperture, and has a large 1/1.49" sensor. iQOO is betting high on the Neo 9 Pro's Super Night Vision, which enhances night photography by providing richer details and clarity.
Other than that, the three camera colour profiles: Vivid, Textured, and Natural from top-end iQOO and Vivo smartphones are also present here.
Please watch the video for camera samples.
My initial impressions of this main camera are incredibly positive. The photos have a contrasty look to them, which might very well be best in the segment. Portrait mode shots have impressive edge detection as well.
The shots I took in various lighting conditions, including in low ight, are very impressive, and I&rsquo;m looking forward to testing out this camera more.
This sensor can shoot 8K videos, which is quite mind-boggling for an upper midrange smartphone.
So, the iQOO Neo 9 Pro promises stellar camera and gaming performance for the price.
It launches on February 22, 2024, so stay tuned to Editorji for our full review, and I shall see you there!

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 power without breaking the bank! The iQOO Neo 9 Pro has a dedicated gaming chip, UFS 4.0 storage, and a stunning 144Hz display. The dual-tone red colour is quite bold as well. Check its design and performance in this quick look.

iQOO Neo 9 Pro: Design and performance overview

<h2>Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 power without breaking the bank! The iQOO Neo 9 Pro has a dedicated gaming chip, UFS 4.0 storage, and a stunning 144Hz display. The dual-tone red colour is quite bold as well. Check its design and performance in this quick look.</h2>

Of late, iQOO has established itself as the maker of bang-for-buck smartphones. The company&rsquo;s flagship iQOO 12 is a testament to this.
And now, iQOO plans to continue its streak in 2024 with this new iQOO Neo 9 Pro.&nbsp;
Succeeding the Neo 7 Pro from last year, this will likely be India's most affordable Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered smartphone, offering flagship performance without breaking the bank.
Generally, a powerful chip at an affordable price generally means compromises in other areas. But, it is not the case here.
For instance, the Neo 9 Pro comes with the same dedicated Q1 gaming chip that we saw on the flagship iQOO 12.&nbsp;
So, popular supported games like BGMI run at 90fps natively, and at 144fps with frame rate interpolation.
Then, iQOO has also decided to equip the Neo 9 Pro with fast UFS 4.0 storage as standard. Therefore, 256GB will be the base storage option on this smartphone.&nbsp;
Powerful gaming hardware also requires a great display to complete the experience. And Neo 9 Pro&rsquo;s display looks like it has been lifted from the flagship iQOO 12.
It is a 6.78 inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 3000 nits.
Now, let&rsquo;s shift focus on the unmissable: this dual tone red colour. This is the first dual tone device from iQOO and it comes with textured vegan leather back.&nbsp;
This red is unapologetically loud, and it extends to the frame as well. It creates a stark contrast with the light grey colour band at the back.&nbsp;
Some will love this colour, others will find it too much in their face. If you&rsquo;re in the latter category then worry not, since a shimmery black variant will also be on offer.
iQOO has also pulled off a hard engineering feat: they&rsquo;ve made the battery bigger at 5,160mAh, while making the phone slimmer at 7.99mm versus the Neo 7 Pro.
The ultra-quick 120W charging also makes a comeback on this smartphone.
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro launches on February 22, 2024, and we expect it to redefine value for money.
We&rsquo;re working on our full review of this smartphone, so stay tuned to Editorji!
