Starting with the vanilla iQOO 9, this model has been listed on Geekbench with the V2171A model number. This variant is mentioned with an octa-core Qualcomm processor that is codenamed ‘taro’ and has a base frequency of 3.0GHz. Notably, this same chipset is also listed for the iQOO 9 Pro which bears the V2172A model number at the benchmark website.
While the names of the processor aren’t specified, it is clear that both units will be using Qualcomm’s new-gen flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor.

The iQOO 9 and the iQOO 9 Pro will be announced with 12GB RAM as per the benchmark website. There could be other variants as well. However, the specifics are not known just yet. Likewise is the case with the storage capacity. There is no mention of it on the benchmark website. But, we are expecting a base 128GB storage capacity.
Coming to the benchmark performance, the vanilla iQOO 9 has scored 1,233 points in the single-core and 3,674 points in the multi-core test on Geekbench.
