The iQOO Neo 6 was announced in India at the end of May 2022. It is on sale in the country since the first week of June. Ten months after its launch in the country, the brand has now permanently slashed the price of this smartphone by ₹5,000 (~$60).

Therefore, it now only costs about ₹25,000 (~$305) in the region. Let’s check out its latest price.

The iQOO Neo 6 comes in 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB memory configurations in India. These variants were introduced at ₹29,999 (~$365) and ₹33,999 (~$415), respectively. 

Since the price has been now reduced by ₹5,000 (~$60), the phone can be now had at either ₹24,999 (~$305) or ₹28,999 (~$350). Thus, both variants now cost below ₹30,000 (~$365).

Currently, the iQOO Neo 6 is the only Snapdragon 870 smartphone in this price segment. Apart from a solid chip, the device also offers LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

The handset sports a 6.62-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display. It arrives with a triple camera system consisting of an OIS-assisted 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro snapper. On the front, it has a 16MP shooter.

Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, and an x-axis linear vibration motor. Last but not least, it is backed by a 4,700mAh battery with support for 80W charging.

The post iQOO Neo 6 price permanently slashed by ₹5,000 in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

vivo’s independent brand, iQOO has always focused on launching powerful smartphones at an affordable price tag. Its iQOO Neo series in particular takes things up a notch by giving even better value with flagship-like features in mid-range pricing. That’s why the iQOO Neo series has been popular among customers across the world.

A couple of days ago, iQOO announced a new model in the Neo series lineup, the iQOO Neo 7, which succeeds the popular Neo 6 model announced a few months ago. The new iQOO Neo 7 brings a larger display on board with a larger and faster-charging battery, and more storage configuration options. It also adds other performance features like 9 high-precision temperature sensors, Pixelworks independent display chip Pro+, graphite heat dissipation, and a 4D vibration motor.

iQOO Neo 7 vs iQOO Neo 6

DESIGN

The new iQOO Neo 7 adopts the basic form factor of its predecessor. However, there are some changes in its rear design.

While both the Neo 7 and Neo 6 come with a squarish body frame with rounded corners and a center-placed punch-hole camera at the front, they differ when it comes to the design of the rear camera module. The iQOO 7 adopts a rectangular rear camera module, which further includes a circular housing to include the two cameras on board. The flash and other sensors are shifted outside this circular housing.

On the other hand, the iQOO Neo 6 comes with three camera sensors and a flash housed inside the black camera housing. Honestly, both the designs look good, and it will be a matter of individual preference whether you like the iQOO 7 or the iQOO 6 better.

iQOO is also offering more color options for the new device like Orange, Blue, and Black. To recall, the iQOO Neo 6 came in two options, namely Cyber Rage and Dark Nova.

In terms of dimensions, the iQOO Neo 7 is taller than its predecessor. It comes with the dimensions of 164.8 x 76.9 x 8.5 mm which is both taller and wider than the 163 x 76.2 x 8.5 mm dimensions of the iQOO Neo 6. Also, the new model increases its weight by 7 grams to 197 grams.

Both phones have an in-display fingerprint sensor onboard.

DISPLAY

The iQOO Neo 7 brings a larger and brighter display as compared to its predecessor. The Neo 7 comes with a 6.78-inch FHD+ 1080 x 2400 pixel AMOLED display featuring a high 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 360Hz touch sampling rate, 2000Hz instant touch sampling rate, up to 1500nits brightness, and Pixelworks independent display chip Pro+. The upgraded Pixelworks chip will offer better video and motion processing on the new device.

In comparison, the iQOO Neo 6 features a smaller 6.62-inch AMOLED, 120Hz display with HDR10+. The peak brightness is slightly lower at 1300 nits but overall, the display should be similar to the new model. To recall, the iQOO Neo 6 features an older generation of Pixelworks X5 series chip.

SPECS

Under the hood, the new model also brings some changes, including a flagship-grade gaming chipset. The iQOO Neo 7 comes with the latest Dimensity 9000 Plus processor on board, taking its performance to the top. In comparison, the iQOO Neo 6 international model came with the Snapdragon 870 chipset on board, while the Chinese model featured a flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. Combined with the new Pixelworks chip, the iQOO Neo 7 should offer great gaming and performance.

In terms of configurations, iQOO has gone all out with the Neo 7. It is offering the new model with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage in China. On the other hand, the iQOO Neo 6 was limited to a maximum of 12GB RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The new model also brings the latest Android 13 OS on board with OriginOS Ocean on top. On the other hand, the iQOO Neo 6 still runs on Android 12 OS.

CONNECTIVITY

The new Dimensity processor also brings some upgrades in the connectivity department. The Neo 7 adds support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 vs 5.2 found on the Neo 6. You also get NFC and an IR port on board.

CAMERAS

The iQOO Neo 7 features a triple cameras setup bringing a 50MP camera with a 1/1.56″ Sony IMX766V sensor, f/1.88 aperture, and OIS, another 8MP UW sensor with f/2.2 aperture, and finally a 2MP macro camera with f/2.4 aperture.

In the camera department, the only major change is in the primary camera. The old iQOO Neo 6 came with a 64MP sensor, but the remaining sensors are the same as the new model.

There is a 16MP snapper on the front for selfies and video calls, which is shared by the two phones.

BATTERY

In terms of the battery department, the iQOO Neo 7 also brings a few upgrades. In addition to increasing its battery capacity from 4700mAh on the Neo 6 model to 5000mAh, the new model also increases its charging speed to 120W, bringing it up to flagship levels.

Unfortunately, both phones don’t come with wireless charging on board.

PRICING

The iQOO Neo7 starts at RMB 2699 ($373) for the 8GB/128GB model and goes up to RMB 3,599 ($487) for the 12GB/512GB model. This is actually cheaper than the RMB 2799 ($386) launch price of the iQOO Neo 6 in China.

You can get the iQOO Neo 6 on websites like Giztop internationally or via retailers like Amazon in India. The new Neo7 is also available for purchase via Giztop right now.

VERDICT

The iQOO Neo 6 looks like an excellent upgrade over its predecessor. If you already have the Neo 6 model, it may not make sense to upgrade to the new model, but if you are looking for a newer phone out there, the Neo 7 seems like a solid smartphone for its price.

As usual, the Neo 7 sticks to the philosophy of offering solid value for the money you pay for it!

iQOO Neo 6

In this price range, the iQOO Neo 6 is undoubtedly one of the best options a prospective buyer can consider when buying a phone under 30,000 INR. It sports a 6.62 inch FHD+ AMOLED display that has a 120Hz refresh rate. But, its most notable feature is the inclusion of a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC that is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The device runs on Android 12 OS and is powered by a large 4,700mAh battery that supports 80W fast charging as well.

Another iQOO phone that you can consider is the iQOO 7 that has a similar price tag and also feature the Snapdragon 870.

Motorola Edge 30

It is currently listed on Amazon India and starts for a price tag of 28,999 INR for its 8GB + 128GB configuration.

Vivo V23

Within the 30,000 INR segment, flagship smartphones aren’t as common and we already listed the iQOO Neo 6, which had some top notch specs. Although, Vivo has a handset that offers a premium experience through its design. The Vivo V23 features a Fluorite AG Glass that glitters when light is reflected on it.

The post Best Smartphones under Rs 30,000 in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

In recent months, a bunch of new mid-range smartphones have greeted the Indian market. These include the iQOO Neo 6, the OnePlus Nord 2T, the POCO F4, the Redmi K50i, and the OPPO Reno 8.

These devices differ a lot from each other when it comes to specifications and pricing, however, how do they fair against one another when it comes to battery life? To find the answer to this question, MySmartPrice conducted a battery drain test of the above-mentioned smartphones. So, let’s take a look at the findings.

A battery charging test precedes the battery test under consideration. All of the cellphones have been fully discharged, and the posted times reflect a complete 0 to 100 percent charge cycle. With a 4,500mAh battery, the OPPO Reno 8, POCO F4, and OnePlus Nord 2T require 27, 56, and 34 minutes, respectively, to charge. The Redmi K50i, which has the largest 5,080mAh battery pack, requires a significant 1 hour and 4 minutes to fully charge, while the iQOO Neo 6, with its slightly larger 4,700mAh battery, requires about 41 minutes.

The two-hour video playback test, which the devices undertake with a full battery backup, kicks off the battery drain test. The Reno 8 has the least amount of battery left after the speaker test, with only 67%. Through the first two tests, every other device keeps at least 75% of its charge.

Following the media playback tests, we jump to the CPU stress tests using Geekbench 5 and Antutu. After 3 hours of running the benchmarks, the Reno 8 has only 40% charge left, while the iQOO Neo 6 has the highest charge remaining of the bunch at 57%.

A one-hour-long gaming session comes next with BGMI being the game of choice. After the game session, the Redmi K50i retained the most charge level at 35%m which was followed by the iQOO Neo 6 and POCO F4 at 33%. The Reno 8 got the closest to the red line at 20%.

The game round is followed by a camera round, and it is noticed that the OPPO Reno 8 has reached its final 2 percent of charge after having been used for around 4.5 hours. Even with only 10% of its battery charged, the Nord 2T isn’t far behind. Everyone else keeps their cool even with more than 20% of the battery left.

The final nail in all the coffins is the following challenge, a social media usage challenge. The Redmi K50i is the winner of the challenge as a result of this. This battery is not only the biggest of the bunch, but it also has the best battery drainage rate (measured in mAh/min) and lasts for a full 6 hours, 45 minutes.

Nothing recently launched the Nothing Phone (1) globally. The device has been selling like hot cakes in the Indian market. So, the folks at MySmartPrice have put the smartphone to test against the best devices offered in the mid-range segment in India right now.

These Include the OnePlus Nord 2T, iQOO Neo 6, and POCO F4. The tests were carried out at the highest levels of standardization possible in order to reduce the possibility of errors on the devices. The display was kept at its maximum brightness. It’s also worth noting that the batteries in the Nothing Phone (1), Oneplus Nord 2T, iQOO Neo 6, and POCO F4 are 4,500mAh, 4,500mAh, 4,700mAh, and 4,500mAh, respectively.

The first test lasted two hours and was a video playback test. The test put the most strain on the Nothing Phone (1), which dropped from 100 percent to 79 percent charge. All others had a good 80+ percent charge left, with the iQOO Neo 6 having the most with 89 percent.

The next test looked at device performance, including Geekbench, AnTuTu, and a CPU throttling test. This test strained the POCO F4, which dropped to 57 percent battery juice, while the iQOO Neo 6 maintained the lead with 65 percent power remaining in its battery pack. The performance test was followed by a quick round of gaming, where the Nothing Phone (1) took the lead while the POCO F4 trailed in last place.

The camera test followed, and it taxed the OnePlus Nord 2T, which died after 5 hours and 38 minutes of operation. After 5 hours and 51 minutes of work, the POCO F4 came in second. The camera tests were replaced by a round of social media browsing, and it was at this point that the iQOO Neo 6, which has the largest battery capacity, ran out of juice at 6 hours and 13 minutes. The newest mid-ranger, the Nothing Phone (1), was thus the last smartphone standing for the test, lasting 7 hours and 2 minutes.

So far, it appears that the Nothing Phone (1) is the king of battery life in the mid-range segment. However, the device lags behind when it comes to fast charging. As we know, the Nothing Phone (1) has 33W fast charging, enabling the device to completely charge in 1 hour and 17 minutes. While the Nord 2T, which features 80W fast charging takes just 32 mins to fully charge from 0 percent.

OnePlus Nord 2

Ever since OnePlus unveiled its Nord series of smartphones, the company has had a strong presence in the mid range segment, and the new Nord 2 5G is another great contender in this price range. It is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC that is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. On the front it sports a 6.43 inch AMOLED HDR10+ display that has a FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. While these specs are solid, its unique selling point is its rear cameras.

The smartphone packs a triple camera setup on the rear, with the primary sensor being a 50 megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor, an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 2 megapixel depth sensor. This camera is typically found in more pricier models, so the Nord 2 can be a great choice for those that use their phones for photography often. It is currently listed on Amazon India for a price tag of 29,999 INR. Although, you can also check out the Realme 9 Pro+ as well, which is slightly cheaper but has many similar features apart from a Dimensity 920 SoC.

Vivo V23

Within the 30,000 INR segment, flagship smartphones aren’t as common and we already listed the iQOO Neo 6, which had some top notch specs. Although, Vivo has a handset that offers a premium experience through its design. The Vivo V23 features a Fluorite AG Glass that glitters when light is reflected on it. This rear panel is surrounded by a metallic frame. On the front, the smartphone sports a 6.44 inch FHD+ AMOLED display that has a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support.

Under the hood, the device packs the Dimensity 920 SoC that is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The rear features a triple camera setup that includes a 64 megapixel primary sensor, an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a megapixel depth sensor. The front also includes a 50 megapixel dual camera setup. So for those looking to carry around a device that turns head, this might the one for you. It is currently listed on Flipkart for 29,990 INR.

Samsung Galaxy M52

The Samsung Galaxy M52 is another worthy option in the sub 30K category. Its Galaxy M series has always been popular in this price range and one of the latest includes the M52, which offers a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC and a massive 5,000mah battery pack that supports 25W fast charging (although, the box only includes a 15W charger).

On the front, it sports a large 6.7 inch Super AMOLED panel that has a 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and a Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The rear packs a 64 megapixel triple camera setup, so all things considered, the offering from the South Korean tech giant is quite decent at this price range. It is currently available on Amazon India, with its 6GB + 128GB configuration costing 29,999 INR.

Samsung Galaxy A33

Rounding up the list, we have another Samsung smartphone. Our last pick is the Galaxy A33 that was launched recently. It has a 6.4 inch Super AMOLED display on the front that has a 90Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. Under the hood, the device is equipped with a Exynos 1280 SoC paired with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The handset is powered by a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 25W fast charging.

On the rear, it features a 48 megapixel quad camera setup. The smartphone runs on the Android 12 OS based One UI 4.1 custom skin out of the box. While this model might not be particularly eye catching, it has decent specs and even offers up to 4 years of software update. So for those looking to have a device that stays updated for long can consider this as their next upgrade option.
