iQOO has announced the upcoming launch of its new Neo 8 series, featuring two premium smartphones: the Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro. Prior to its official release on May 23 in China, the company has shared the design of the phones, which showcase some minor updates from the previous Neo 7 series.
On Weibo, iQOO has released a video that unveils the design of the upcoming Neo 8 series. The phones will maintain a curved rear panel, and the previewed model features a red vegan leather back panel. On the back, there is a rectangular camera module with two circular cutouts, housing the dual-camera setup and LED flash for the Neo 8 5G. The camera module text reveals that the Neo 8 will incorporate optical image stabilization (OIS) support.
According to iQOO, the Neo 8 Pro will be equipped with the recently launched MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ System-on-Chip (SoC), built on a 4nm process and capable of reaching a top clock speed of 3.35GHz. Additionally, the phone will incorporate Vivo’s V1+ chip to improve its camera, performance, and display capabilities. With the inclusion of the V1+ ISP chip, it appears that iQOO might be planning to make the Neo 8 Pro into an all-rounder rather than just a gaming-centric device.
A recent AnTuTu listing of the device also shows that it will be a monster gaming machine, as it has managed to score more than 1.3 million points in the benchmark. Let’s see what else is known about the iQOO Neo 8 series devices at this point.
