iQOO unveiled the iQOO Z9s and iQOO Z9s Pro in India last week. The Z9s Pro is already on sale and starting today, the Z9s will also be available in India on iQOO's India website and Amazon.in.
The iQOO Z9s comes in Onyx Green and Titanium Marble colorways in 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB configurations, priced at INR 19,999 ($240/€215), INR 21,999 ($260/€235), and INR 23,999 ($285/€255), respectively. The Z9s Pro costs INR 5,000 ($60/€55) more for the same memory options.
The iQOO Z9s is built around a 6.77-inch FullHD+ 120Hz curved AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 1,800 nits. It has a fingerprint reader underneath for password-free phone unlocking and a centered punch-hole for the 16MP selfie camera.
On the back, you get a dual-camera setup comprising a 50MP primary camera (Sony IMX882, OIS) and a 2MP “bokeh camera”. The iQOO Z9s is powered by the Dimensity 7300 SoC and boots Android 14 Funtouch OS 14. iQOO has promised two years of Android updates and three years of security updates for the Z9s, but has not committed to anything regarding the frequency of the latter.
The iQOO Z9s is powered by a 5,500mAh battery with support for 44W charging. Other highlights of the iQOO Z9s include Wet Touch support for the display, stereo speakers, and an IP64 rating.
The iQOO Z9s is similar to the Z9s Pro and features a darker display, a different processor, and slower charging. It also lacks an ultra-wide camera. You can check out the detailed specs comparison of the iQOO Z9s and iQOO Z9s Pro here.
