The device comes with an 11-tier cooling system which the company claims can cool the internal temperature by up to 10 degrees. For connectivity, the phone supports dual-mode 5G SA/NSA, NFC, and Wi-Fi 6+.

As for the camera department, it comes with an AI triple-camera setup that includes a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP 112-degree ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, it has a 16MP snapper housed inside the punch-hole cutout.

Mobile phone benchmarking outfit AnTuTu has released its Android mobile phone performance ranking for April 2020. The top 10 flagship models are still Snapdragon 865-powered smartphones only. However, there are a few new models that moved up the ladder compared to the previous month (March).

With the release of another wave of Snapdragon 865 models, new changes have taken place in the top 10 flagship list for April. The iQOO Neo 3 and OPPO Ace 2 entered the top 10 rankings and edged the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Black Shark 3 Out of the list.

OPPO Find X2 Pro still occupies the number one spot and for the second month running with an average score of 607147 points. The Find X2 moved into the second spot, edging the Mi 10 Pro. The Find X2 rise in ranking may be related to the further improvement of stability after the firmware update.

At the third spot, is the new entrant – iQOO Neo3 while the Mi 10 Pro is now ranked at the fourth spot.  The 5th-10th places are occupied by the OPPO Ace 2, Redmi K30 Pro, iQOO 3, Realme X50 Pro, Vivo NEX 3S, and Black Shark 3 Pro in that order.

Antutu noted that smartphones with a higher screen refresh rate (90/120Hz or higher) and faster flash memory (UFS 3.1 or UFS 3.0 with Turbo Write enabled) will perform better than smartphones without these upgrades even though they both run on the same mobile platform. Also, software optimisation is still another important aspect which perhaps explains why the Blackshark 3 Pro is at the bottom of the ladder despite packing a powerful hardware configuration including a heat dissipation system.

Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO has announced a brand new 5G flagship in China – the iQOO Neo3. Staying true to its essence, the new iQOO model brings 5G and top-end flagship performance at a relatively affordable price tag. The phone is powered by the new Snapdragon 865 chipset and comes with a capable 144Hz display upfront.

The iQOO Neo3 comes with a punch-hole display on the front and a rectangular camera housing at the back. Note that the single punch-hole camera is situated on the top-right corner, instead of the usual top-left corner of the display. The rest of the design is similar to other 2020 flagships.

iQOO Neo3 Specification

Inside, the iQOO Neo3 comes with the Snapdragon 865 processor clocked at 2.84GHz. This is the best Qualcomm chipset in the market right now and offers high-end graphics performance thanks to its Adreno 650 GPU. The new iQOO model also upgrades the storage standard to UFS 3.1 which promises sequential reading speeds of up to 1733MB/s and write speeds of 731 MB/s.

The display is one of the biggest highlights of the iQOO Neo3. The phone comes with a 6.57-inch FHD+ LCD panel with 98% sRGB color gamut, DCI-P3, and HDR 10. The screen features an aspect ratio of 20:9 with a screen to body ratio going over 90%. This LCD panel supports 144Hz high refresh rate, just like Nubia Play and other gaming flagships. The high refresh rate has been reportedly optimized for over 1000 apps in China.

Note that there’s no screen fingerprint sensor on the Neo3. So you get a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Along with this gaming-friendly screen, the iQOO Neo3 comes with a 11-tier cooling system inside which the company claims can cool the internal temperature by up to 10 degrees. The phone also features stereo speakers and Hi-Fi sound, ensuring an immersive entertainment experience. The Neo3 is also a KPL (King Pro League) certified gaming smartphone.

The phone supports dual-mode 5G SA/NSA, NFC, and Wi-Fi6+. So you can enjoy high speeds of up to 1.2Gbps with a compatible Wi-Fi 6 router. As for the battery, the iQOO Neo3 has a pretty large 4500mAh capacity one inside with support for 44W fast charging. iQOO claims that the phone can be charged up to 50% in just minutes.

As for software, the iQOO Neo3 runs the new iQOO UI based on Android 10.

iQOO Neo3 Cameras

The iQOO Neo3 comes with a 48MP AI triple-camera setup at the back. In addition to the high-resolution 48MP primary sensor, the phone features an 8MP 112° ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro lens. iQOO reveals that the phone supports Hyper-HDR which enables it to capture good quality photos in different lighting conditions. The front 16MP punch-hole selfie shooter supports portrait mode as well.

iQOO Neo3 Pricing & Availability

The iQOO Neo3 start at 2698 yuan ($381) for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, 2998 yuan ($423) for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant and 3398 yuan ($480) for the 8GB RAM and 256GB variant. There’s a weird 12GB RAM and 128GB combination too that retails for 3298 yuan ($466).
