iQOO Neo9s Pro
The vivo iQOO Neo9S Pro 512GB wins on battery and charging with 5160mAh and 120W wired charging (40% in 9 min), while the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro 256GB offers 13:37h active use and 50W charging (50% in 19 min). Buyers prioritizing rapid top-ups and all-day endurance should choose the iQOO Neo9S Pro. Photographers needing a periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS should pick the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, as the iQOO lacks a dedicated telephoto sensor. In UAE at AED 1400 vs AED 1700, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro is better because it includes a periscope camera and longer Android upgrade support; in India at ₹30999 vs ₹39999, the Nothing Phone wins on value because it delivers a telephoto lens and 3 major OS upgrades for ₹9000 less.
