The 16GB RAM + 1TB storage variant of the iQOO Neo 8 shares the same specifications as the other variants.

The post iQOO Neo 8, Neo 8 Pro With 144Hz Display, 120W Fast Charging Launched appeared first on Gizmochina.

Since its launch in 2019, the iQOO Neo series has been extremely popular among users. The phones in the series have been praised for their performance, battery life, and cameras. Take the iQOO Neo 6 for example— both critics and consumers still swear by it. The Vivo subsidiary also managed to stick the landing with the latest Neo 7 as it offers a smooth gaming and multimedia experience.

The iQOO Neo 8 series is also ready to be unveiled, with the company set to take the wraps off its latest premium mid-rangers on May 23 in China. A global launch should follow in a couple of months. However, you won’t have to wait that long to learn about the phones, as we have gathered everything about the iQOO Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro in this post. Let’s get on with it.

Design and Display

iQOO has always launched just one smartphone in the Neo series but this time it’s going to be different. The company is confirmed to even bring a Pro model this year, which will have better specifications compared to the standard one. However, cosmetically they might not be that different, after all.

The previous iQOO 6 and 7 both featured a similar design with a curved rear panel and frame. We saw a rectangular camera module on both devices with “Neo” text etched on a shiny surface below it. Despite having a polycarbonate back, these phones looked quite premium and were nice to hold.

However, the design of the Neo 8 lineup has been changed. Official images have revealed that both iQOO Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro will feature a rectangular camera module, but it will not span across the entire width of their bodies. It is expected that both devices will have triple-camera setups. Leaked images have shown the Pro model with the “OIS” writing on the back, confirming the presence of optical image stabilization. We haven’t seen the front panel yet, but a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera is expected, along with thin bezels. The display is likely to be flat on both phones.

The vanilla model is expected to feature a 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with a high 1.5K resolution and 2160Hz PWM dimming technology. The Pro model could also have the same display but with a higher 144Hz refresh rate. While it is possible that the phones will support it, we cannot be certain. The display is supported by Vivo’s dedicated V1+ image chip, which comes with a 32MB on-chip high-speed cache and supports three algorithms.

Specifications

The iQOO Neo smartphones have always been performance-oriented, even though they debut as mid-rangers. The iQOO Neo 6 from 2022 gained a reputation for its best-in-class performance, and the Neo 7 managed to carry on that legacy. It appears that the new Neo 8 series will not be an exception, as the Pro model is expected to feature the Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset paired with impressive 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. On the other hand, the iQOO Neo 8 should be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

The cameras are also receiving an upgrade. iQOO has confirmed the Neo 8 Pro will feature a 50MP primary camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) support. The camera will utilize the renowned Sony IMX866VCS sensor, which is also found on the Vivo X90 Pro+ (review).

While the primary camera details have been unveiled, we are yet to know the information about the secondary cameras on the Pro phone. It is speculated that the iQOO Neo 8 may also sport a 50MP primary shooter, but with a different sensor and without OIS.

Both models in the lineup have been confirmed to get a 5,000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging technology. They will also include an under-display fingerprint sensor and will come pre-installed with the Android 13 operating system. The Chinese units will get the OriginOS 3.0 skin, while the global market units will receive the controversial FuntouchOS.

Expected Pricing

iQOO Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro are expected to bring several notable features, which may result in a higher price. While the exact numbers are not yet available, the vanilla model is estimated to start in the range of $350-$400. For reference, the iQOO Neo 7 is currently available in two variants: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage. The 8GB RAM variant is priced at ₹29,999 ($361), while the 12GB RAM variant is priced at ₹33,999 ($403). Both variants are offered in three color options: Interstellar Black, Frost Blue, and Dawn White.

The post iQOO Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro images leaked ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

iQOO Neo 8 and 8 Pro are going to debut on May 23 as the latest mid-rangers from the Vivo subsidiary. The handsets are going to bring powerful chipsets, with rumors hinting at the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ on the Pro model and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 on the standard one. However, the phones are now confirmed to even feature a dedicated imaging chip to share the load. They will get the Vivo V1+ chipset under the hood and support an impressive 144Hz refresh rate.

iQOO Neo 8 series to get Vivo X80 series’ V1+ chip

BBK brands have recently been focusing on developing their own chipsets. Oppo has launched the MariSilicon X chipset with the Find X5 series, while Vivo has introduced its own series of dedicated chipsets, including the latest Vivo V2. However, Oppo has shut down its custom chip unit, meaning that there may not be any further chip releases from the company.

Although the iQOO Neo 8 phones do not feature the latest imaging chip from their parent company, they will certainly benefit from the V1+ chip, which was also featured in the Vivo X80 smartphones. It is claimed that the V1+ can take night shots in situations where there is less than 1 lux of ambient lighting. The chip gets 32MB SRAM and 8GB/s data throughput speed. It improves image brightness by 16% and white balance accuracy by 12%.

Further, the iQOO revealed through a teaser that the Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro smartphones will support a 144Hz refresh rate. Both smartphones will be released in China on May 23. You may check out their detailed specifications in our post here.

The post iQOO Neo 8 Series will bring a dedicated imaging chip & a 144Hz refresh rate appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

It is likely to be launched in China with up to 16GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage.

This phone will reportedly feature a triple-camera system on the back, headlined by a 50MP primary sensor. However, the specifications of the other two sensors have not been disclosed by the source. It will also have a 16MP front-facing camera. The phone is powered by a 5000mAh battery and supports 120W fast charging out of the box. The Neo 8 Pro will run on Android 13 and will have Origin OS 3 layered on top.

According to recent leaks, the Neo 8 5G is expected to be equipped with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 System-on-Chip (SoC). The phone is also likely to feature a 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, with a high 1.5K resolution and 2160Hz PWM dimming technology.

The post iQOO Neo 8 Series & iQOO Pad Rumored Specs and Launch Date Revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

The month of May will be as busy as April if not more in terms of smartphone launches. Only 3 events are officially confirmed so far. But there are multiple other expected conferences, the dates for which should be revealed in the coming days.

We are looking forward to new product releases from a whopping 12 brands. Apple and Samsung are the only major companies that might not debut new phones. Though the latter may introduce certain already announced handsets in newer markets.

These forthcoming devices will be spread across different price segments. Most of the phones on the list are being launched ahead of the 618 shopping festival in China, which annually occurs during mid to late June.

That does not mean there won’t be any global releases. In fact, we will be witnessing the debut of some of the most anticipated smartphones of 2023.

With that out of the way, let’s go through all the handouts that are about to launch in May.

Upcoming Smartphones in May 2023

The standard and pro variants will be rebranded Redmi Note 12 Turbo and Redmi K60, respectively. They will be even sold in original Redmi colors instead of the usual Poco color schemes.

Just like the last Poco F Pro model (Poco F2 Pro), the Poco F5 Pro will not be sold in India. The vanilla F5 will come with 256GB as standard and is tipped to cost below ₹30,000 in India and $500 in other regions.

The post iQOO Neo 8 charging speed revealed via certification, likely to launch in May appeared first on Gizmochina.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, a new smartphone from Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO is set to feature a high-silicon battery with a capacity of 5000mAh and 120W fast charging capabilities. This new device is expected to be part of the upcoming iQOO Neo 8 series, which is rumored to be launched in May.

The use of high-silicon batteries is not entirely new in the smartphone industry. Last year, Xiaomi’s flagship Xiaomi 13 used this type of battery to improve its energy density and reduce weight. The CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, revealed that they had used expensive high-silicon negative electrodes and MCP packaging technology to achieve a battery capacity of 4500mAh.

Additionally, iQOO Neo 8 is rumored to eliminate the plastic frame and use a metal frame, which could improve its durability and design aesthetics. According to the tipster, iQOO Neo 8 series will include a standard version and a Pro model. The iQOO Neo 8 Pro is expected to be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, while the regular model is tipped to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ chip.

The Neo 8 series is rumored to boast up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Additionally, the series may feature a 1.5K display. The display is also said to support high-frequency PWM dimming. However, there is no information about the display sizes of the phones. If Vivo retains the old phone’s display size, then we could see a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel on the Neo 8.

Regarding the camera, the iQOO Neo 8 is expected to have a 50-megapixel primary camera, as per the tipster. On the other hand, the Neo 8 Pro could sport a 1/1.5-inch camera sensor, but there is no information about the other sensors.

iQOO Neo 8 will first launch in China. We expect the device will also launch globally. But as of now, there’s no information regarding this.

iQOO is rumored to launch two smartphones in the Neo 8 series soon. The iQOO Neo 8 5G and the higher-end Neo 8 Pro are expected to hit the market sometime in May 2023, according to reports.

This chipset is likely to offer incremental upgrades over the Dimensity 9200 SoC, though there are no details about the upcoming SoC available at the moment. It is expected that the company will unveil more details about the SoC later this year. Neo 8 Pro will also sport a 50MP primary lens, which is set to use a 1/1.5-inch camera sensor.

Neo 8 Pro is also rumored to feature a triple-camera setup and offer up to 16GB LPDDR5X of RAM and 512GB (UFS 4.0) of storage. In addition, iQOO might launch the device with support for 120W fast charging out of the box. The phone is expected to come with a 5000mAh battery, which is similar to the one found in the Neo 7 series.

The standard model of the Neo 8 series is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC under the hood. It is not yet clear whether the Neo 8 series will launch in India, as previous top-end models in the lineup found in China have not made it to the Indian market.

The post iQOO Neo 8 Pro Tipped to Feature 1.5K Resolution Display, 50MP Primary Camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

In October 2022, iQOO unveiled the iQOO Neo 7 equipped with the Dimensity 9000 Plus chipset in China. Hence, it is likely that the brand will announce the iQOO Neo 8 in the second half of this year. Well ahead of launch, tipster Digital Chat Station (via. TechGoing) has leaked the key specifications of the device.

According to DCS, the iQOO Neo 8 will be powered by the Dimensity 9200 Plus, which is yet to go official. As per a recent report, the D9200+ will be an enhanced version of the D9200. The SoC is expected to rival the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Apart from iQOO, it is speculated that brands such as Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi are also planning to launch smartphones with Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset.

The new leak also states that the iQOO Neo 8 will be equipped with 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The tipster claimed that the Neo 8 will be stacked against the forthcoming Redmi K60 Ultra, which is expected to launch in the third quarter of 2023.

Last week, the same source said that the Redmi K60 Ultra will have an OLED screen with a 1.5K resolution and a high refresh rate. It will come with the Dimensity 9200 chipset and 100W charging.

In Q4 2022, iQOO launched the iQOO Neo 7, Neo 7 Racing Edition, and Neo 7 SE in China. These phones are powered by the Dimensity 9000 Plus, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, and Dimensity 8200 chipsets, respectively. The iQOO Neo 7, which is available in India, is a rebranded version of the Neo 7 SE. Hence, it appears that the Neo 8 series may include other models, such as the iQOO Neo 8 Racing Edition and the Neo 8 SE.
