Snapdragon 8 Gen3 gaming console! iQOO Neo9S Pro+ hands-on

In May this year, the iQOO Neo9S Pro equipped with Dimensity 9300+ was widely recognized by many mobile game players for its powerful flagship configuration and deep optimization at the gaming level.

Now the iQOO Neo series has added a new member – iQOO Neo9S Pro+, which is not only equipped with the Snapdragon 8Gen3+ self-developed Q1 chip, a dual-core combination with full performance, but also equipped with flagship-level ultrasonic 3D fingerprint recognition technology for the first time in the same price range.

Exterior

This time, the iQOO Neo9S Pro+ has a total of three color schemes, Buff Blue, Starry White and Fighting Black. The one we got is the Starry White color. There is a layer of star texture on the back of the body, which can show a depth of effect under different light. Coupled with the matte AG matte process, it feels very delicate and smooth.

On the front, the iQOO Neo9S Pro+ is equipped with a 6.78-inch 8T all-weather super-sensitive screen with a 1.5K resolution, supports 1-144Hz stepless adaptive frame rate, and a global excitation brightness of 1400nit.

2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming reduces eye fatigue. In daily experience, whether you are watching videos or playing games for a long time, the screen’s visual experience can remain smooth and delicate.

What is even more surprising is that this time the iQOO Neo9S Pro+ is equipped with the only flagship-level ultrasonic 3D fingerprint recognition technology in the same class. Compared with ordinary fingerprint unlocking, ultrasonic 3D fingerprint is more secure and can better protect users’ mobile phone data.

Secondly, its input speed will become faster, and the unlocking speed is affected by the ambient light. Even if your hands are wet, you can unlock it in seconds. At the same time, the ultrasonic fingerprint position of iQOO Neo9S Pro+ is 100px above the bottom frame of the screen. Unlocking it in your hand is more in line with our daily usage habits.

AnTuTu scores over 2.2 million points. We tested the specific performance in the game.

Game Experience

The first is “Honor of Kings”, 120+ extreme picture quality, choose picture quality first, basically full frame throughout, you can see that the frame rate curve is close to a straight line. In this 13-minute battle, several small-scale group battles broke out in the river.

The iQOO Neo9S Pro+ did not have any obvious frame rate fluctuations. After a game experience, it was smooth throughout without any lag. The highest temperature of the body was around 36°C, and there was no obvious temperature change when holding it in the hand.

Then there is the more loaded “Genshin Impact”, with Monster mode turned on, 60 frames + high quality, and the rest are all maxed out. Running in the wild of Fontaine, killing monsters and looking for treasure chests, you can see that the average frame rate of Genshin Impact for 30 minutes is close to full frame, the curve fluctuation is relatively smooth, and there are only some slight fluctuations when releasing skills. In actual experience, there is no lag, and there is no pressure to run at full frame throughout the whole process. During the game, the body temperature reached a high of 41.9℃.

The last one is “Honkai Impact 3rd”, with the same detail settings maxed out, 60 frames + high image quality. In the actual gaming experience, there was no obvious lag, which is not much different from the actual experience of “Genshin Impact”. The average frame rate was 59.6 frames, and the body temperature reached a maximum of 38.9℃.

Game super resolution and super frame

Relying on the self-developed gaming chip Q1, this time the iQOO Neo9S Pro+ can support super-resolution of more games. In Genshin Impact, 1.5K super-resolution image quality is achieved, providing a clearer and more delicate image quality experience.

Taking the recent new mobile game “DNF” as an example, after turning on the super frame mode of iQOO Neo9S Pro+, the real-time frame rate of the game reaches 144Hz. When actually playing it, you can feel that the visual experience of the game has become smoother.
