The tipster claims that he is certain that the iQOO Neo5 will flaunt a 120Hz refresh rate enabled Samsung E3 AMOLED display, Snapdragon 870 mobile platform, and 66W or 88W ultrafast charging technology. He also believes that the Neo5 will break cover by the middle of March.

He also posted the other specs of the Neo5 but added that he is not totally sure about them. He said that the phone may house a battery of around 4,400mAh capacity. Its triple camera system may include comprising of a Sony IMX598 48-megapixel main snapper, a 13-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 2-megapixel sensor. It is unclear whether the latter will serve as a depth helper or macro camera.

The iQOO Neo5 is also likely to offer users other features like a linear motor for in-game vibrations, stereo speakers, and an aluminum alloy frame. The tipster speculated that the Neo5 will land in China in choices like 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. These models are estimated to cost between 2,998 Yuan (~$464) and 3,698 Yuan (~$572).

Past reports have suggested that Vivo has at least two Snapdragon 870 powered phones in the works. The model numbers of these devices are V2045A and V2055A. One of these could launch as the iQOO Neo5 in China.
