The Vivo-owned brand iQOO is set to launch a new smartphone in China. The device is officially called iQOO Neo 7 and it will be an upper mid-range handset.
Teasers and leaks suggest that like the previous Neo models, this one will also be an affordable flagship (aka flagship killer). Therefore, it will likely offer iterative upgrades over its predecessor iQOO Neo 6.
Let’s take a look at all the details we know about the upcoming iQOO Neo 7 in this article.
iQOO Neo 7 Launch Date
The iQOO Neo 7 is scheduled to launch in China on October 20. It will be unveiled at an event set to begin at 7 PM GMT+8.
The conference will be live-streamed on Weibo and other leading Chinese video streaming platforms.
iQOO Neo 7 Design
The iQOO Neo 7 will sport a flat frame design like most smartphones on market right now. However, the flatness of the frame will not be pronounced as it will be not only thinner but curvy at the edges.
The front will be equipped with a centered punch-hole flat display. Whereas, the rear panel will house a rectangular island for cameras and an LED flash. Two of the sensors will be placed in a circle, while the third sensor and flash will be located below the circle.
The phone is being teased with a leather finish on the back. However, we believe that it may also arrive with a glass back.
iQOO Neo 7 Specifications
The iQOO Neo 7 has been confirmed to flaunt a 6.78-inch centered punch-hole Samsung E5 flat AMOLED display. The screen will offer a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), and up to 1,500 nits peak brightness.
The display will have support for up to 8000000:1 contrast ratio, HDR10+ content playback, and DC dimming. It will be powered by a dedicated display chip.
Further, the handset will house a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 Plus SoC. The chipset will be paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It will boot Android 13 with OriginOS skin.
For photography and videography, it will use a triple camera system on the rear and a 16MP camera on the front. The main camera array will be headed by a 50MP Sony IMX766V sensor.
Last but not least, the iQOO Neo 7 will draw power from a 5,000mAh battery, which will carry support for 120W fast wired charging.
iQOO Neo 7 Expected Price
The iQOO Neo 7 is expected to be sold in three memory configurations, such as 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB.
Since the iQOO Neo 6 was introduced at ¥3,299 ($458), the Neo 7 may also start around the same price tag.
