The iQOO Neo 7, the successor of the iQOO Neo 6 of last year, has been launched in India. The new iQOO smartphone looks similar to its older sibling, though it’s relatively heavier (193 grams). That’s likely because the iQOO Neo 7 now carries a bigger 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. The phone also carries an upgraded SoC by MediaTek. The iQOO Neo 7 is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC, instead of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 on the Neo 6.

Its price in India starts at Rs 29,999 for the base 8GB RAM + 128GB storage option. The top model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage costs Rs 33,999 in India.

iQOO Neo 7 specifications

The iQOO Neo 7 also comes with a relatively larger 6.7-inch display, instead of the 6.6-inch screen on the Neo 6.

The display offers Full-HD+ (2400×1080 pixels) resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a touch sampling rate of 300Hz. The latter ensures better touch inputs while gaming and or doodling on the phone.The company says that the display has obtained HDR 10+ certification and Blue Light certification as well.

Under the hood, the iQOO Neo 7 carries the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC paired with UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 RAM technology. To keep the phone cool during intense gaming sessions, there’s a large vapour chamber plus multi-layer graphite sheets. The rear camera system includes a 64-megapixel primary camera with OIS, similar to last year’s model. However, the new edition features a new sensor that promises better images.

The primary camera is accompanied by two 2-megapixel cameras, and there’s no ultra-wide camera. On the front, the iQOO Neo 7 comes with a 16-megapixel camera. The camera app is also getting some new features. For instance, there’s a Vlog mode to help upcoming creators make Instagram-Reel-style videos. Users can also dual-view video recording mode that uses the front and back cameras simultaneously.

As mentioned, the battery specs have been improved in the latest iteration. The iQOO Neo 7 carries a 5,000mAh battery with support for 120W charging. The charger with a Type-C port is included in the box.

The Neo 7 also comes with more 5G band support (11 bands). Other features include dual SIM, Bluetooth 5.3, dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC, and an under-display fingerprint scanner.
