Vivo-owned iQOO has a new smartphone launching next week. The phone which will be sold as the iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition is a budget flagship phone that is powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset.
The iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition will be announced on Monday, May 24, in China. The phone is a toned-down version of the iQOO Neo5 that was launched in March. This means it will sell for a more affordable price but you will get a similar performance since they are powered by the same chipset.
Some of the tradeoffs include swapping the AMOLED display for an LCD panel albeit one with a higher 144Hz refresh rate. The screen on the iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition also has its punch hole at the top right corner of the screen, unlike the standard version which has a centered punch hole. It has also been reported that the phone will support 44W fast charging which is a slower charging speed than the 66W that the iQOO Neo5 supports.
With respect to price, the iQOO Neo5 Vitality Edition will have a price tag of about ¥2000 (~$310). This is about the same price as similarly configured phones such as the Motorola Edge S which launched as the first Snapdragon 870-powered phone in the world.
