The Pro model has been reviewed, while the review for the vanilla version is ongoing. However, we&#8217;ve also got the iQOO 9 SE at our HQ for testing. But before we put the iQOO 9 SE through its paces, let&#8217;s see what the most affordable smartphone in the iQOO 9 series offers. <\/p>\n<p>The iQOO 9 SE packs a 6. 62&#8243; 120Hz FullHD+ AMOLED screen protected by Panda Glass. It is HDR10+ certified and has 1,200 nits of peak brightness. The display also has a 300Hz touch sampling rate and 1,000Hz instant touch sampling rate with a punch hole in the center for the 16MP selfie shooter and a fingerprint scanner underneath for biometric authentication. The fingerprint reader is not as impressive as the ultrasonic solution we have on the iQOO 9 Pro, but it&#8217;s still fast enough to offer a hassle-free unlocking experience. <\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/popup\/-1200x900mw1\/gsmarena_001.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iQOO 9 SE features a 120Hz AMOLED screen with a fingerprint reader underneath\" width=\"315\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/popup\/-315\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/popup\/-1200x900mw1\/gsmarena_003.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iQOO 9 SE features a 120Hz AMOLED screen with a fingerprint reader underneath\" width=\"315\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/popup\/-315\/gsmarena_003.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>iQOO 9 SE features a 120Hz AMOLED screen with a fingerprint reader underneath<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The rear panel of the iQOO 9 SE sports a rectangular island housing flash and three cameras &#8211; 48MP primary (with OIS), 13MP ultrawide, and 2MP monochrome unit. Our iQOO 9 SE comes in the cool Sunset Sierra color, but there&#8217;s also a Space Fusion color option for those who want something stealthy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/popup\/-1200x900mw1\/gsmarena_002.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iQOO 9 SE has four cameras onboard\" width=\"315\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/popup\/-315\/gsmarena_002.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/popup\/-1200x900mw1\/gsmarena_004.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iQOO 9 SE has four cameras onboard\" width=\"315\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/popup\/-315\/gsmarena_004.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>iQOO 9 SE has four cameras onboard<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p> The back cover of the smartphone is susceptible to fingerprints and can be easily seen from certain angles on our Sunset Sierra model. Mirror-like plates below the camera module are also susceptible to smudges. They&#8217;re glossier than other parts of the panel. <\/p>\n<p>On the inside, the iQOO 9 SE has the Snapdragon 888 SoC joined by the Intelligent Display Chip we have on the more expensive iQOO 9 and iQOO 9 Pro. The iQOO 9 SE runs Android 12-based FuntouchOS 12 out of the box and has two memory options &#8211; 8GB\/128GB and 12GB\/256GB. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/inline\/-1200w1\/gsmarena_009.jpg\" alt=\"iQOO 9 SE in for review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The iQOO 9 SE also comes with NFC, stereo speakers, USB-C, 4D Game Vibration, IP52 rating, vapor chamber liquid cooling, and a 4,500 mAh battery, which is charged slower at 66W instead of 120W like the vanilla and Pro variants. <\/p>\n<p>iQOO says the bundled 66W adapter can fill the cell from flat to 50% in 14 minutes and 100% in 39 minutes. Whether or not that&#8217;s true is something we&#8217;ll find out in our detailed review where we&#8217;ll also test the rest of iQOO 9 SE&#8217;s features, so stay tuned! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/iqoo-9-se-ifr\/-952x498w6\/gsmarena_000.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/iqoo_9_se_in_for_review-news-53703.php?rand=119<\/div>\n<p><\/wordaidoc><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iQOO 9 SE in for review iQOO unveiled the iQOO 9 and iQOO 9 Pro in January in China and introduced the pair in India in February, which was joined by an SE model &#8211; a first in iQOO&#8217;s number series.
