iQOO Z9s series, featuring the iQOO Z9s and iQOO Z9s Pro, has officially launched in India today, per schedule. The two phones have largely identical specs. The design is a bit different. While the iQOO Z9s Pro looks a lot like a watered-down iQOO 12, the iQOO Z9s looks like a Vivo v40 without the ZEISS branding, which is fantastic given that the V40 is a more expensive phone. The iQOO Z9s starts at Rs 19,999. The iQOO Z9s Pro starts at Rs 24,999.
