Vivo launched its sub-brand name iQOO for premium gaming smartphone earlier this year and has launched a few devices under this brand. A couple of months ago, the brand launched iQOO Neo smartphone and recently it launched iQOO Neo SD855 variant.
A couple of days ago, the company announced a special edition variant of the device, named iQOO Neo 855 ‘Flying Horse of Gansu’ Edition.

This offers a significant improvement in the performance of the smartphone and the company is even bragging about the device’s 477,016 AnTuTu score. The brand’s focus on speed is not just limited to the processor and storage.
