Yesterday, Vivo’s iQOO gaming division had released DC dimming feature for iQOO smartphone users through a FunTouch OS update. Today, the Chinese firm has shared a video on Weibo to confirm that the upcoming iQOO Neo gaming phone will be also equipped with DC dimming. The video also showcases the front design of the smartphone.
It is a known fact that an OLED panel can flicker if its brightness is reduced. Such screen flickering can cause eye strain. Hence, smartphone OEMs are bringing DC dimming feature that prevents screen flickering issue on phones with OLED displays by adjusting the DC current. Companies are providing DC dimming through software update for OLED smartphones. There are some phones that offer DC dimming feature out of the box and iQOO Neo is one of them.
In the above video, the company has placed two iQOO Neo smartphones besides each other. The brightness on both devices is low because of which one can easily notice screen flickering on the two iQOO Neo handsets. Mid-way through the video, the DC dimming feature is activated on the handset kept on the left through a toggle button. Once activated, the screen stops flickering.
The iQOO Neo has a waterdrop notch on the display. The chin of the device is slightly thick whereas its other bezels are slim. Its preliminary listing has confirmed that it will be featuring a 6.38-inch display. It will carry support for full HD+ resolution and it is equipped with an in-display fingerprint reader.
The Snapdragon 845 chipset powers the smartphone. It could be featuring 6 GB of RAM and an internal storage of 128 GB. For regulating the internal temperature of the phone, it will come equipped with Liquid Cooling technology. There is no information on the configurations of the camera sensors of the phone. The official renders of the phone have confirmed that it will be arriving with triple rear-mounted cameras.
The iQOO Neo will be arriving with a 4,500mAh battery that carries support for 22.5W fast charging. The smartphone is up for reservations on the official Vivo China website. Its official listing has confirmed that it will be releasing in Black and Blue color variants. A leaked poster of the phone that had surfaced earlier in this month claimed that it could be priced at 1,998 Yuan (~$290). The smartphone is scheduled to go official on July 2.
