刚刚,iQOO推出了全新的iQOO Neo9S Pro。

iQOO Neo9S Pro Review: It's a Game Console and a Learning Machine

From the way it is named, it is not difficult to see that it is a "facelift" of the iQOO Neo9 Pro. The biggest upgrade is the upgrade of the Dimensity 9300 processor to the Dimensity 9300+. This processor is also the latest flagship product that MTK just released some time ago. This also means that the iQOO Neo9S Pro is the most powerful phone on the market.

The strongest performance in the current Android camp

"The most performant" is not unfounded, but there is enough data to back it up.

Using everyone's common running score as a benchmark reference: on the Antutu platform, the iQOO Neo9S Pro ran a score close to 218W. Compared with the previous generation's highest score of 2.1 million, the overall score has increased by about 4%. If you compare the current Android benchmark rankings, you can find that the iQOO Neo9S Pro's score is already the top level among the current Android phones, and even higher than many gaming phones in the current ranking.

Compared to the Dimensity 9300, the Dimensity 9300+ increases the maximum frequency of the Cortex-X4 super-core to 3.4GHz (the former is 3.25GHz). This also makes it the most frequent 5G chip in the Android camp, surpassing the 3.3GHz of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3. This design provides greater computing power and efficiency when dealing with complex operations. In addition, from the perspective of the chip itself, increasing the higher frequency means that the "physique" of the chip itself is quite strong, which also provides enough guarantee for the extreme performance release and long-term high-load operation of the mobile phone.

On the Geekbench platform, the single-core score of the iQOO Neo9S Pro came to 2263, and the multi-core score was 7437. Compared with the current mainstream Snapdragon flagship platform, the iQOO Neo9S Pro's single-core score is roughly the same, but the multi-core score has an advantage of about 9%. Don't underestimate these performance improvements, in the actual experience, the phone will be able to provide more adequate performance guarantees, and can also have better image quality and smoothness when running some high-load games.

Taking Genshin Impact as an example, the iQOO Neo9S Pro runs Genshin Impact for half an hour, with an average frame rate of around 59.7 frames. This result is even slightly higher than the flagship vivo X100S of the same blue factory. Unlike other mid-range products, the iQOO Neo9S Pro shows excellent game stability when facing heavy games like Genshin Impact. So I decided to "increase the dose" and turn on WeChat voice calls while running Genshin Impact to monitor the frame rate of the screen again.

After testing, the iQOO Neo9S Pro still achieved an average frame rate of about 59 frames per second in this extreme situation. This actually relies on iQOO's thread-level unfair resource scheduling capability, which can not only perform unfair scheduling for the CPU, but also increase network, memory, and IO resources to achieve unfair scheduling. In other words, under the premise that two large applications are running at the same time, the mobile phone can scientifically schedule and allocate performance resources, so that the mobile phone can run smoothly.

We also found that the iQOO Neo9S Pro exhibits a very impressive level of power control. In the face of mainstream mobile games such as "Honor of Kings", its average power consumption is only 3.3W, and even the more performance-demanding "Genshin Impact" power consumption is only around 4.7W. Especially compared with competitors in the same class, the performance and power consumption levels of iQOO Neo9S Pro are very eye-catching under the premise of achieving the same performance.

In other words, if you're a mobile gaming enthusiast, the iQOO Neo9S Pro should be one of the best phones for you right now.

The AI feature is great for the student party

Considering the user group where the iQOO Neo9S Pro is located, a significant part of them are students. In addition to gaming, it would be better if the mobile phone could help with learning. I found that the iQOO Neo9S Pro has a lot of useful AI features this time, which are very helpful for the student party.

First of all, it is the function of Xiao V's help, which is simply like an AI assistant, which can help you record some key points in video, online classes and other scenarios, and even help you summarize and analyze the content. The wake-up of this function is very simple,For example, if you watch a video at station B,You only need to call out the little V help in the side bar,The phone can be automatically split screen display。 The phone can then play back the current video content and help you generate a text summary.

In terms of actual experience, the usability of this feature is still very high. First of all, the text recognition rate of Xiao V Helper is quite good, it can be automatically segmented, it can also recognize different roles, and it can also directly switch between multilingual translations. Directly AI summary after completing the recording. The generated text content can be saved directly to Atomic Notes, and then edited through Atomic Notes' multi-platform synchronization function.

Some people may say, what's so unusual about this feature? Nowadays, many platforms or plugins have similar functions that can be implemented. But I think the biggest advantage of Little V Bangji is that it is a native function of the mobile phone, which is not limited by the platform. Whether you are Tencent Meeting, Bilibili, or other platforms, you can call it directly in your mobile phone. At the same time, the minutes and text generated by it are also directly connected to atomic notes, which is much easier to use than third-party notes.

There are many similar easy-to-use functions on the iQOO Neo9S Pro. For example, my favorite "AI screen recognition" function. On a platform like Xiaohongshu, how do you save a beautiful photo when you see it? The easiest way to do this is, of course, to save it directly, but there will be a watermark on the image. In addition, since Xiaohongshu does not support direct copying of text, sometimes you need to take screenshots and copy the text through the text recognition function of the album.

With AI screen recognition, the whole process is very simple: or swipe to call out the sidebar, click "Extract Graphics and Text", the phone will automatically recognize the graphics and text, and directly click to save and copy. What's more, if you want to capture a certain picture in the video, use AI screen recognition, it can even directly analyze the "play" button in the picture, and then intelligently eliminate, the screenshot you save is a clean video screenshot, which is very convenient.

I noticed that there are many similar AI functions on the iQOO Neo9S Pro, and these functions can be deeply integrated with the blue heart V, such as allowing it to help you create schedules, process documents, etc., in the most common scenarios of many student groups, these functions should be very helpful, I recommend everyone to try it.

In the short term, you can consider the old model

Finally, I would like to talk about the issue of purchasing.

Recently, the blue factory has launched a lot of new machines, covering different gears of high, medium and low. This update to the iQOO Neo9S Pro is also largely a preparation for the upcoming 618. As an upgrade, the iQOO Neo9S Pro is positioned in the same way as the iQOO Neo9 Pro.

Like the previous generation of products, the price of iQOO Neo9S Pro should remain around 2999 yuan this time, which is the main market for current mid-range products, and the competition is quite fierce. I specifically checked the price of iQOO Neo9 Pro, and the current price on major platforms is around 2500 yuan (12+256GB version), and the 512GB version is around 2900 yuan. Considering the next 618, there may be a little more floating. My suggestion is to give priority to the older models in the short term, especially considering that a large-capacity version like 512GB is more cost-effective.

If what you want is a product with the most extreme performance at present, then iQOO Neo9S Pro should be the most ideal existence in the current 3000 yuan range. This product itself is the main performance and game experience, in the overall game performance, power consumption control, battery life is excellent, at the same time, its screen, camera also adopts a very mature scheme of the blue factory, after the test of the previous generation of products, as an upgrade, its comprehensive strength is very strong. If the time period is extended, as the old model is gradually discontinued, the cost-effective advantage of the iQOO Neo9S Pro will be more obvious.

In particular, I experienced a series of very useful AI features on the iQOO Neo9S Pro this time, and I think it is very suitable for recommending to the student group. In my opinion, it is not only a powerful gaming console, but also a good assistant for study and work.
