iQOO 9 SE 5G has received a price drop on Amazon just after the release of Redmi Note 12 Pro+. The Note 12 Pro+ is available at Rs 29,999 and offers a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 mid-range chipset.

iQOO 9 SE 5G or Redmi Note 12 Pro+?
The iQOO 9 SE 5G has a 6.62-inch punch-hole AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ display. It has Panda Glass protection. The Note 12 Pro+, on the other hand, has a 6.67-inch 3D curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. Remember that the Note has Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ has a triple rear camera system with a 200MP main lens, 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro. The 9 SE 5G has a 48MP main lens, 13MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP depth sensor. Both have a 16MP selfie shooter.
The major highlight of the 9 SE 5G at the aforesaid price is its chipset. It comes with a Snapdragon 888 as compared to the Dimensity 1080 chipset. Although old, the Snapdragon 888 is faster than the Dimensity 1080.
There’s a 4,500mAh battery in the iQOO 9 SE 5G with 66W fast charging support. The Note 12 Pro+ has an edge here with a 5,000mAh battery and 120W fast charging. Both come with Android 12 OS but are upgradable to Android 13. The Note 12 Pro+ also has an IP67 rating.
With all that, the iQOO 9 SE 5G seems like a solid deal since it comes with a Snapdragon 888 premium chipset. If the chipset is something that you care about, the 9 SE 5G could be a good deal for you. But the Note 12 Pro+ offers a few advantages in battery/fast charging and also has an IP rating, so do keep that in mind.
