iQOO, the innovative smartphone manufacturer, has recently unveiled its latest offerings - the Neo 9 and Neo 9 Pro - in China. These devices, embodying the pinnacle of modern smartphone technology, feature top-of-the-line processors, cutting-edge AMOLED displays, swift charging capabilities, and much more. Following their launch, both models were immediately available for pre-order and are set to hit the shelves on December 30.

The response to these new smartphones has been overwhelmingly positive in mainland China. iQOO reports that within just an hour of initiating the pre-sale for the Neo 9 series, the sales volume surpassed the entire day's pre-sale figures of their predecessors, the Neo 8 series. This remarkable feat underscores the growing consumer enthusiasm for iQOO's products.

On the first day of pre-order alone, the Neo 9 series achieved a sales volume 200% greater than the deposit pre-orders for the Neo 8 series during the same period. This signifies that the Neo 9 series didn't just attract double the deposit amount but also sold twice as many units compared to the Neo 8 series on its opening day of pre-orders.
