Alongside Realme and POCO, iQOO by Vivo is the best brand of flagship killers. It is the brand that released the highest number of flagship killers in 2021 and it is very recommended to all those who play games and to power users. The latest devices from the brand’s lineup are iQOO Neo5, iQOO Neo5 Lite, and iQOO 7. Despite they carry different names, they are not so different in terms of specifications and they all belong to the high-end segment, but they are sold at very affordable prices. Let’s learn the differences between these three handsets.

Vivo iQOO Neo5 vs Vivo iQOO Neo5 Lite vs Vivo iQOO 7

Design

The Legend color option of the iQOO 7 is the most elegant and original one as it sports a stripe with the typical BMW colors on the rear side. But you should not underestimate the iQOO Neo5 as it comes with the thinnest design. Unfortunately, these phones are not built with premium materials, but they come with narrow bezels around the display and a punch-hole design.

Display

You can find the best display on the iQOO Neo5 and on the iQOO 7: they have the same panel. It is an AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, a high 1300 nit peak brightness, a 6.62-inch diagonal, and a Full HD+ resolution. The iQOO Neo5 has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate which is very nice for gamers, but it has an IPS panel providing an inferior image quality. Note that iQOO Neo5 and iQOO 7 have an in-display fingerprint reader, while the iQOO Neo5 Lite has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner because it sports an IPS display.

Hardware/Software

All of these devices have a flagship-class hardware setup, but the iQOO 7 is the best as it sports a stronger chipset: the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform by Qualcomm. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage (UFS 3.1). You can get the same memory configurations with iQOO Neo5 and Neo5 Lite, but they pack the weaker Snapdragon 870 chipset. However, we are still talking about one of the best chipsets in the Android world. All the phones run OriginOS based on Android 11, except the intl. version of the iQOO 7 which runs Funtouch OS.

Camera

Do you need the most advanced camera? You should go for the iQOO 7 without thinking twice as it is the only one with a high-end camera department. It has a 48 MP main sensor with OIS, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. Not the best camera phone out there, but definitely a high-end one. The iQOO Neo5 takes the silver medal with a 48 MP main sensor including OIS, a 13 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro camera. Unfortunately, iQOO Neo5 Lite lacks OIS and it has an inferior 8 MP sensor.

Battery

The iQOO Neo5 Lite has the biggest battery but the iQOO Neo5 lasts more on a single charge because it sports an AMOLED display with lower energy consumption. The iQOO 7 has the smallest battery with just 4000 mAh, but it supports whopping 120W fast charging.

Vivo iQOO Neo5 vs Vivo iQOO Neo5 Lite vs Vivo iQOO 7: Price

iQOO Neo5 starts from €320/$377, iQOO Neo5 Lite has a €290/$342 base price, and iQOO 7 starts from €480/$567. The iQOO Neo5 has the highest value for money, while the iQOO 7 is the best device overall.

Its triple camera system may include comprising of a Sony IMX598 48-megapixel main snapper, a 13-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 2-megapixel sensor. It is unclear whether the latter will serve as a depth helper or macro camera.

The post iQOO Neo5 key specifications and mid-March launch tipped appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, Vivo V2068A appeared on China’s TENAA revealing key specs and images. Today, another Vivo device has hit Google Play Console and rumors suggest that it might debut as iQOO Neo5 in China.

A Vivo Smartphone with model number V2055A appears on Google Play Console listing(via MySmartPrice). It also has an image but may not be an accurate render of a final product. As for specs, the listing shows that the device will have a display measuring 2400×1080 pixel resolution.

For performance, it lists a Qualcomm SM8250-AC as SoC which is nothing but the Snapdragon 870 5G chipset. The attached GPU is Adreno 650 which is a no-brainer.

Other specs like a possible 12GB RAM variant, running Android 11 also appear on the listing. While there isn’t much info apart from the above, a tipster on Weibo has parallelly hinted that this could be the upcoming iQOO Neo5 smartphone.

1 of 3

According to him, iQOO will launch a device with Snapdragon 870 as the iQOO Neo5 in mid-March. Going by the name, it should succeed the iQOO Neo3 that launched back in April 2020. He also says that the iQOO Neo5 will have a plastic mid-frame and an AMOLED panel with a 2400x1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

Although it’s a downgrade in resolution compared to the predecessor(144Hz), the swapping of AMOLED for LCD is a great plus. He also mentions other specs like 88W charging, 8GB RAM, 128/256GB storage, and a starting price of 3298 yuan($510). If you recall, the iQOO Neo3 started at $381 so keep that in mind.

Either way, the information on Google Play Console listing seems to somewhat match with the tipster’s info but we cannot guarantee that this will be the iQOO Neo5. Hence, take this info with a pinch of salt and stay tuned to our channels to know more about it in the coming days.
