The iQOO Neo7 household has three members already, now comes a fourth. Nicely, kind of, the brand new fashions is just about equivalent to the iQOO Neo7 SE, which was unveiled in early December final yr.
The iQOO Neo7 combines a Dimensity 8200, a big 6.78” 120Hz show and a fast-charging 5,000mAh battery. Its design goes retro and attracts inspiration from the 8-bit gaming period and Polaroid cameras, although it’s extra of a gaming telephone than a digital camera telephone.
To that finish the Dimensity 8200, a 4nm chipset, brings a Mali-G610 MC6 GPU and help for prime refresh charge shows. The CPU has 4 Cortex-A78 cores, considered one of which runs at as much as 3.1GHz, the opposite three peak at 3.0GHz, plus 4 A55 cores at 2.0GHz.
The Neo7 telephones include 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and the FuntouchOS 13 system (based mostly on Android 13) can add 8 digital gigabytes utilizing the Prolonged RAM 3.0 characteristic. As at all times, cooling is significant for sustained efficiency, so iQOO has geared up the telephone with a big vapor chamber plus a number of layers of graphite sheets. Fascinating notice: identical to the iQOO 11 was India’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 telephone, the Neo7 is India’s first Dimensity 8200 telephone.
Shifting on to the show, it’s a 6.78” AMOLED panel (up from 6.62” on the Neo6) with 1,080 x 2,400px decision (20:9). It runs at as much as 120Hz refresh charge (with 60 and 90Hz choices for content material, plus 30Hz for the At all times On Show). The utmost brightness customers can set manually is 500 nits, the excessive brightness mode brings that as much as 1,000 nits. The show is HDR10+ licensed.
Turning our consideration again to gaming, the show usually at 300Hz for contact sampling, however there’s a 1,200Hz prompt mode as effectively. Additionally, there are movement controls in Extremely Recreation Mode, which leverage the gyroscope and accelerometer. You may assign customized actions to 6 completely different motions: left hand lifting, proper hand lifting, left leaning, proper leaning, horizontal ahead urgent and horizontal backward urgent.
The movement management characteristic is supported by the New State sport out of the field with extra to come back (together with Name of Responsibility Cell). Moreover, the sport can run at 90fps on the Neo7, Battlegrounds Cell India will achieve help for 90fps quickly (ought to be achieved by the tip of March). Name of Responsibility Cell helps the Extremely graphics setting.
The Neo7 upgrades the FlashCharge system and now helps 120W. This implies a 1-50% cost is completed in 10 minutes, a full 1-100% cost will be accomplished in 25 minutes. For comparability, the Neo6’s 80W system wanted 12 minutes and 32 minutes, respectively.
And this was with a smaller battery too – the brand new mannequin has 5,000mAh capability, the telephone from final yr has 300mAh much less. Word that there are two charging modes: Quick, which retains temperatures decrease, and Tremendous Quick, which fits full tilt. The battery is rated to resist 1,000 cost/discharge cycles earlier than its capability drops to 80%.
We should always point out the digital camera earlier than we wrap up. The Neo7 options an ISOCELL GW3 – a 64MP 1/1.97” sensor based mostly on ISOCELL 2.0 tech (the Neo6 used a 64MP GW1P sensor). For this technology iQOO eliminated the extremely huge digital camera, leaving solely the primary module, plus a macro and a depth module to maintain it firm. Like we mentioned, that is extra of a gaming telephone than a digital camera telephone.
The iQOO Neo7 is launching in two colours: Frost Blue and Interstellar Black
Really, there’s yet another factor earlier than we get to the worth – iQOO says that the Neo7 can be up to date to Android 15 and that it is going to be receiving safety patches each couple of months for 3 years.
The bottom 8GB/128GB version of the Neo7 is priced at INR29,999 ($360), whereas the 12GB/256GB mannequin is INR33,999($410). Sure financial institution playing cards get an prompt low cost value INR1,500.
