iQOO recently confirmed that it will be launching the iQOO 9 SE smartphone with iQOO 9 and iQOO 9 Pro in India soon. The Pro model has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, the vanilla model features the Snapdragon 888 Plus, whereas the SE model is driven by the Snapdragon 888. A few details of iQOO 9 SE are already known. It appears that the SE model could be a rebranded version of an iQOO phone, which was announced in December 2021 in China.

It is known that the iQOO 9 SE will come equipped with a 6.62-inch AMOLED panel that offers a Full HD+ resolution. It features a triple camera unit, but its details are not known yet. It is likely to arrive with a starting price of Rs 35,000 (~$469).

The iQOO 9 SE will be an affordable flagship phone from the brand. This indicates it will be arriving to compete with the OnePlus 9RT, Xiaomi 11T Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G. The above-mentioned specs suggest that the iQOO 9 SE could be a rebadged version of the iQOO Neo 5 SE, which was announced with iQOO Neo 5S in December 2021.

iQOO Neo 5S specifications

The iQOO Neo 5S has a 6.62-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display with a punch-hole design. It runs on OriginOS Ocean based Android 11. It has a front camera of 16-megapixel, and it has an OIS-ready 48-megapixel (main) + 13-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) camera unit.

The Snapdragon 888 powered Neo 5S is equipped with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It is backed by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging. It comes with other features such as an in-display fingerprint scanner and stereo speakers.

As far as the other iQOO 9 series smartphones are concerned, the iQOO 9 could be a rebadged version of China’s iQOO 8, whereas the iQOO 9 Pro will be the same model that was announced in January 2021.

Vivo made us a great surprise for this final part of 2021: it released the iQOO Neo 5S, a flagship with the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform which not everyone expected in a period in which the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 went official. But despite it being very recent, it has a lot of rivals to fight with. That is why we are comparing it to a lot of phones. After the comparison with iQOO Neo 5SE and the one with OnePlus 9RT 5G, here is a comparison between the specifications of the iQOO Neo 5S and the new Motorola Edge S30 which debuted alongside the Edge X30 as a more affordable handset with flagship-class performance.

Vivo iQOO Neo 5S vs Motorola Edge S30

Design

I personally prefer the aesthetics of the iQOO Neo 5S because it is a more compact device and it is even thinner. The Motorola Edge S30 has a higher screen to body ratio, but it is a bigger phone due to its bigger display. On the other hand, it is an interesting device in terms of build quality because it has a water repellent coating. Both the phones are made of polycarbonate so, despite they being high-end devices, they do not offer premium designs. Their displays come with a punch hole placed at the center, while on the rear side there are two different camera modules: the one of the Edge S30 is definitely more minimalistic.

Display

There is no challenge if we talk about the display: the iQOO Neo 5S is the winner. Unlike the Motorola Edge S30, it features a great AMOLED panel. The display has a diagonal of 6.62 inches, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The Motorola Edge S30 has a wider 6.8-inch diagonal and a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, but it comes with an IPS panel showing less impressive colors. The iQOO Neo 5S has an in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers, while Motorola Edge S30 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a mono speaker.

Specs & Software

With the Motorola Edge S30, you can get slightly better hardware because it is powered by the Snapdragon 888 Plus mobile platform: an upgrade of the Snapdragon 888 found on the iQOO Neo 5S. In both cases, the SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. A great added value of these devices is the fact that they run Android 12 out of the box. Android 12 is customized by the brand new OriginOS Ocean user interface on the iQOO Neo 5S, while the Motorola Edge S30 relies on the MYUI.

Camera

Do not get fooled by the resolutions: despite the Motorola Edge S30 having a 108 MP main camera, the iQOO Neo 5S is able to provide a higher photo quality because it has a better main camera with a 48 MP resolution and OIS. In both cases, the main camera is paired with a 13 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor. The iQOO Neo 5S looks to have a better 16 MP front camera.

Battery

The Motorola Edge S30 should be able to provide longer battery life in a lot of scenarios thanks to its bigger 5000 mAh battery, but it does not apply to each and every usage pattern because its display consumes a lot more energy if compared to the AMOLED panel of the iQOO Neo 5S. Further, the Vivo flagship charges quicker thanks to 66W fast charging (against just 33W).

Price

You need at least €380/$430 to purchase the iQOO Neo 5S in China, while the Motorola Edge S30 starts from just €280/$317. The iQOO Neo 5S is a superior handset thanks to a better display, faster charging, and a superior camera department, but the Motorola Edge S30 offers a slightly better chipset and a bigger battery for a more affordable price.

The post iQOO Neo 5S vs Motorola Edge S30: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few days ago, Vivo’s sub-brand released its last flagship killer of 2021. The iQOO Neo 5S debuted alongside the iQOO Neo 5SE with amazing specifications offered at a stunning price. There is one particular handset very similar to the new iQOO flagship and it was released recently as well: the OnePlus 9RT 5G, which is actually an upgrade of the OnePlus 9R released earlier this year. These handsets are not only incredibly similar in terms of specifications but even when it comes to the price range. So which one should you opt for? This is a comparison that will highlight those few differences between the iQOO Neo 5S and the  OnePlus 9RT 5G.

Vivo iQOO Neo 5S vs OnePlus 9RT 5G

Design

The dimensions of the iQOO Neo 5S and the OnePlus 9RT 5G are very similar, as well as their design. They do not have the best build quality in the smartphone world, but they are still well-built. The iQOO Neo 5S has a punch hole placed centrally, while the OnePlus 9RT 5G has a  hole on the upper left corner just like all the other last-generation OnePlus devices. The thickness and the weight are similar as well. In my opinion, the OnePlus 9RT 5G looks a bit more elegant with its minimalistic camera module and great color options, but it is just a matter of taste.

Display

The displays of the iQOO Neo 5S and the OnePlus 9RT 5G have the same main specifications and even the same size: that is the reason why we think they may sport the same panel. Both the phones are equipped with an AMOLED display coming with a diagonal of 6.62 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. You even get an in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers on both phones. Given that they have the same display specifications, the comparison between the panels is obviously a draw. You’d better focus on the rest of the specifications.

Specs & Software

Just like the displays, even the hardware specifications are exactly the same. iQOO Neo 5S and OnePlus 9RT 5G are powered by the amazing Snapdragon 888 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz. They come in three memory configurations providing at least 8 GB of RAM and up to 12 GB of RAM, as well as 128 or 256 GB of internal storage. The phones run the latest user interfaces released by Vivo and OPPO: OriginOS Ocean and ColorOS 12, respectively. Which UI is the best one? In my opinion, the ColorOS 12 is more complete, but OriginOS Ocean still provides one of the best software experiences.

Camera

If you are looking for a better rear camera setup, then choose the OnePlus 9RT 5G. First of all, it has a better main sensor: we are talking about a 50 MP Sony IMX766 camera with OIS. The iQOO Neo 5S has the OIS as well, but the main sensor is an inferior 48 MP lens. The OnePlus 9RT 5G even provides a better ultrawide camera with a 16 MP resolution. The iQOO Neo 5S should be better when it comes to selfies, thanks to a brighter focal aperture.

• Read More: iQOO 8 vs iQOO 8 Pro vs iQOO 7: Specs Comparison

Battery

iQOO Neo 5S and OnePlus 9RT 5G have the same battery capacity: 4500 mAh. Given that the components are almost the same, the battery life should be similar. Even the fast charging power is similar: 66W and 65W, respectively. More or less 30 minutes are needed for a full charge of these phones.

Price

The starting price of the iQOO Neo 5S for the Chinese market is €380/$430, while the OnePlus 9RT 5G starts from about €440/$500 at the actual change. The OnePlus 9RT 5G wins this comparison just for a single reason: it has a better rear camera department thanks to a superior main camera and a better ultrawide camera. But the iQOO Neo 5S actually has a higher value for money and, if you do not mind having a slightly inferior camera setup, then you should save money and opt for it.

The post iQOO Neo 5S vs OnePlus 9RT: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo’s sub-brand launched a brand new lineup of flagship killers containing two handsets: iQOO Neo 5S and iQOO Neo 5SE. While Qualcomm unveiled the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, these devices still offer the 2021 flagship SoCs by Qualcomm, but their prices are extremely good, especially for gamers who need to save money. But which are the differences between the new iQOO high-end phones and which one should you opt for? This is a comparison between their specifications which will answer those questions. Given that these phones have several things in common, we will focus on the differences between them.

Vivo iQOO Neo 5S vs Vivo iQOO Neo 5SE

Design

The iQOO Neo 5S and the iQOO Neo 5SE are not so different when it comes to design. They have a similar look and they are made of polycarbonate for both the rear cover and the frame. I consider the iQOO Neo 5S slightly better because it is more compact than its Special Edition. For the rest, these phones are pretty much the same. They have a display with a single punch hole, very narrow bezels, and a rectangular camera module with a similar color to the rear cover. Both the power key and the volume keys are placed on the right side, while the left side is completely clean.

Display

One of the most important advantages of the iQOO Neo 5S if compared to the Neo 5SE is the display. Unlike its internal rival, it is equipped with an AMOLED panel which shows brighter colors and deeper blacks. The display has a diagonal of 6.62 inches, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and the HDR10+ certification. The iQOO Neo 5SE may be a bit more interesting for a few gamers thanks to its 144 Hz refresh rate, but its display is actually inferior. It is an LCD panel with a Full HD+ resolution and the HDR10 certification, as well as a wider 6.67-inch diagonal. Note that iQOO Neo 5S has an in-display fingerprint reader, while the fingerprint scanner is side-mounted on the iQOO Neo 5SE.

Specs & Software

Are you looking for the most powerful phone? If so, you can get a bit more performance with the iQOO Neo 5S because it is powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. The iQOO Neo 5SE offers the same memory configurations, but it has the lower-end Snapdragon 870 chipset which sits in the middle between Snapdragon 865+ and Snapdragon 888. Both the phones are based on Android 11 but they run the brand new OriginOS Ocean customization which will be soon based on Android 12. These two phones are among the most advanced ones in terms of performance and they match the most expensive flagships.

Camera

The iQOO Neo 5S is far from being a top camera phone, but it still offers a very good camera department including a 48 MP main sensor with OIS, a 13 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro lens. It is definitely better than iQOO Neo 5SE which offers lower-midrange cameras including a 50 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro sensor. Even the front camera of the iQOO Neo 5S is better thanks to a brighter focal aperture.

Battery

Vivo iQOO Neo 5S and iQOO Neo 5SE have the same battery capacity, but the former is able to provide a longer battery life because its display has a lower energy consumption (thanks to the AMOLED technology) and its chipset is built with a better production process. Further, the iQOO Neo 5S charges quicker thanks to a fast charging power of 66W.

Price

The starting price of the iQOO Neo 5S is €380/$430 in the Chinese market, while the iQOO Neo 5SE starts from just €300/$340. The former provides a better display, chipset, and cameras, while the latter lets you spend less money. However, the iQOO Neo 5S still has a higher value for money, at least in my opinion.

The post iQOO Neo5s rear design, topnotch heat dissipation with rare earth elements confirmed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this week, iQOO had officially announced the launch date for its upcoming Neo5S smartphone. Now, the company has teased the upcoming handset, showcasing its dual chip technology and other features.

The smartphone maker shared the teaser on its official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website). In the latest social media post, the company teased the device’s “Dual Core” chip technology, which consists of the primary Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC paired with a dedicated and independent display chip as well. This secondary chipset brings MEMC support, which enables the smartphone to offer an improved gaming performance through smoother frame rate in FPS titles while displaying more rich colors.

Apart from these two aspects, the brand even shared another design feature as well. The Neo5S will feature advanced heat dissipation technology that will help the device keep its thermals in check. This would be even more important considering that the device is being marketed towards gamers. With long periods of gaming, smartphone tends to heat up in intensive titles.
