iQOO Neo 8 Pro could be a “flagship killer”
iQOO’s Neo series smartphones are known for offering the best bounce for the ounce. Both the recent Neo 7 and the older Neo 6 are excellent examples of this. Now, iQOO is gearing up to introduce the Neo 8 series and the expectations are high, especially from the Neo 8 Pro. While we don’t get any details from the handset’s Google Supported Devices listing, various leaks and rumors have revealed plenty of its specifications.
From what we know so far, the iQOO Neo 8 Pro could be the next flagship killer from the brand. It could debut as one of first phones with Dimensity 9200+ chipset. The processor is MediaTek’s answer to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and its Geekbench listing suggests it even outperforms Qualcomm’s champion. The chipset could be paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Leaks suggest the smartphone will get an immersive 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an under-display fingerprint scanner. The device will run on Android 13 OS with OriginOS 3 on top. It is expected to feature a 16MP selfies shooter. For photography, you could get a 50MP Sony IMX866V primary camera with OIS support.
