iQOO is all set to launch its next smartphone called Neo 3 in China on April 23. Ahead of the official release, the brand revealed some of the key specifications of the device on Weibo yesterday. Now, we even know the pricing of the handset, thanks to an advertisement on the web.
The smartphones released by iQOO so far have been priced aggressively to undercut competitors. The same could be the case for its forthcoming new device.
According to an advertisement banner, the iQOO Neo 3 will start from 2998 Yuan, which roughly translates to $425. If this happens to be true, then the Neo 3 will be the cheapest smartphone with a 144Hz refresh rate display and that is something to brag. Because, as of now, only the Nubia Red Magic 5G sports a similar panel, however that phone starts at 3799 Yuan ($538).
According to a teaser posted by iQOO yesterday, the Neo 3 smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC paired with UFS 3.1 storage for faster read-write speeds. In addition to that, the handset is confirmed to sport a 144Hz refresh rate display, making it the first device from the company to feature high refresh rate panel as the prior models came with standard 60Hz panels.
Other than the above-mentioned confirmed specs, we can expect the device to run Android 10 and might feature a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging as per a leak from a few days back.
