AnTuTu has just revealed its top-performing flagship smartphones of August 2023 with the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro topping the list. We now bring you the top 10 best-performing mid-range smartphones of August according to AnTuTu.

Top 10 mid-range smartphones on AnTuTu for August 2023

Despite it being August, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, which was introduced in March, continues to lead the mid-range AnTuTu performance rankings. It has achieved an impressive score of 1,148,376 points, just slightly ahead of the Realme GT Neo 5 SE, which sits in second place with 1,146,607 points. Notably, both of these smartphones are equipped with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC, making them the sole devices on the list featuring this processor.

Considering that these devices cross the 1 million point mark with starting prices around $250 (Note 12 Turbo) and $290 (GT Neo 5 SE), it makes customers hopeful about the future of the mid-range. Outside of China, Xiaomi sells the Redmi 12 Turbo as the Poco F5.

The third place goes to the iQOO Neo 7 SE equipped with the Dimensity 8200 chipset. It scores 949742 points, edging out the Vivo S17 Pro which is in fourth place with 944329 points. Other places in the list belong to devices like the Oppo Reno 10 Pro, Redmi Note 12T Pro, Redmi K60E, Xiaomi Civi 3, OnePlus Ace Racing, and OnePlus Ace. All of these devices are powered by the Dimensity 8200 and 8100 series chipsets.

At the moment, it appears that smartphones featuring the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset hold a significant advantage over their mid-range counterparts utilizing MediaTek’s Dimensity processors. Nevertheless, there are speculations suggesting that MediaTek is in the process of developing the Dimensity 8300 chipset, which is said to incorporate a fresh Mali G52 MC6 GPU. It remains to be seen how the performance of this new chip will compare to the reigning mid-range leader, and we eagerly await the results.

Back in December, iQOO launched the Neo 7SE smartphone in China. That same device is scheduled to launch on February 16 in India rebranded as iQOO Neo 7. We recently reported on the leaked pricing of the highest configuration of this upcoming device. Now, new information has emerged online revealing the pricing of the base variant in India.

According to tipster Abhishek Yadav, the iQOO Neo 7 base variant with 8GB RAM + 128GB storage could cost ₹26,999. To recall, the previous leak mentions that the 12GB RAM

The listing on GeekBench also revealed some other interesting details regarding this model as well. This includes its 12GB of RAM, but we can also expect an entry level configuration with 8GB of RAM.

iQOO recently unveiled the iQOO Neo 7 in China, featuring the Dimensity 9000+ chipset. Rumors are rife that the brand is gearing up to launch two new phones from the series: the iQOO Neo 7s and the iQOO Neo 7 SE. The 7s is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. Recent reports have claimed that the Neo 7 SE will feature a new chipset. A leaked poster of the device has surfaced on Weibo (via.TechGoing) . It reveals that its design will be similar to the Neo 7 SE.

A leaked photo that emerged last week revealed that the screen of the iQOO Neo 7 SE will have a centrally positioned punch-hole. It will be an OLED panel with an under-display fingerprint scanner. The leaked poster that has appeared now shows that the rear camera module of the Neo 7 SE is likely to be similar to the Neo 7.

The primary lens onboard will have support for optical image stabilization (OIS). In a recent Weibo post, reliable tipster Digital Chat Stataion claimed that there is a high probability that it does not have the Sony IMX766 primary camera, which is available on the Neo 7.

According to a recent leak, the iQOO Neo 7 SE may come in as many as four configurations, such as 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage, and 16 GB RAM + 512 GB storage.

Recent reports have claimed that iQOO is working on the iQOO 11 series as well as the iQOO Neo 7 SE. A new leak by tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed the launch timeframe of the Neo 7 SE. It appears that the device may go official alongside the iQOO 11 series.

Recently, a Vivo phone with model number V2238A was approved by the 3C authority. When it was spotted, the rumor mill thought that it could be a Vivo X90 series smartphone. However, DCS has revealed that the V2238A is the upcoming iQOO Neo 7 SE.

iQOO is also expected to announce the iQOO 11 series by the end of the year. Last year, the company unveiled the iQOO Neo 6 SE alongside the iQOO Neo 6 in December. Since it has already launched the iQOO Neo 7 in China, there is a possibility that the Neo 7 SE may go official alongside the iQOO 11 lineup.

The post iQOO Neo 7 SE launch timeframe tipped, launch likely with iQOO 11 series appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo and its sub-brand iQOO are reportedly planning to launch multiple devices, such as the Vivo X90 series, iQOO 11 series, and iQOO Neo 7 SE smartphone, in November and December. A new Vivo smartphone with model number V2241A has been approved by China’s 3C authority. In all likelihood, it could be one of the aforementioned Vivo or iQOO smartphones.

As can be seen in the image below, the Vivo phone that has been approved by the 3C authority has the V2241A model number (via. TechGoing). To recall, the 3C regulatory body had approved the Vivo V2238A phone the previous week. Both phones have been spotted with a 120W fast charger. Hence, it is not easy to speculate on the final moniker of both devices.

According to a recent report, the Vivo X90 Pro and X90 Pro+ heading to China have V2242A and V2227A model numbers, respectively. The model number of the vanilla Vivo X90 is yet to be revealed.

The iQOO 11 and iQOO 11 Pro have V2243A and V2254A model numbers. However, the model number of the iQOO Neo 7 SE are not known yet. Interestingly, the Vivo X90 as well as the Neo 7 SE are expected to support 120W fast charging.

Hence, it appears that the V2241A and V2238A could be associated with the Vivo X90 and iQOO Neo 7 SE or vice-versa. Except for these two models, none of the above-mentioned models has received 3C certification. Now that the V2241A and V2238A are 3C approved, both phones are expected to appear on the TENAA certification platform with their key specifications in the next few days.

The iQOO Neo 7 finally went on sale in China today, and the rumors about the speed edition of the smartphone have already started to pick up. A popular Indian tipster has shared some key specifications of the alleged iQOO Neo 7 SE and revealed that it will carry the same specs as the Neo 7 5G, except for the processor. Here are the details.

According to tipster Paras Guglani,  iQOO Neo 7 SE will come with an AMOLED display offering a 120Hz refresh rate. The handset will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 series processor paired with 8GB/ 12GB RAM. It is currently unknown which processor will be packed inside this smartphone. Our best guess is Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

Further, the Neo 7 SE is tipped to feature a 5000mAh battery and support particularly extreme 120W fast charging. For reference, the Neo 6 SE came with a 4700mAh battery and  80W fast charging support. The handset is also said to sport a 50MP main camera with support for optical image stabilization (OIS) on the back. It will likely have a triple camera setup on the back.

Guglani says the only difference between the iQOO Neo 7 SE and Neo 7 5G will be the processor. The Neo 7 comes with a MediaTek 9000+ SoC. In addition, it is expected that the Neo 7 SE will debut in India as the Neo 7 5G.

Details about the Neo 7 SE are still pretty short. iQOO is yet to confirm any details about the alleged handset. We should learn more details about it in the coming days. Stick around for the updates.
