Vivo released a lot of affordable phones with year. And when we say affordable phones, we do not only talk about mid-rangers and entry-level devices but also about affordable flagships. A few weeks ago the company announced the iQOO Neo which is currently one of the most interesting high-end phones in terms of quality price ratio. It is meant especially for gamers, but in the same price range, there are also other devices focused on the camera and other key features. In order to establish which kind of Vivo device you could actually need, we compared three of the most important affordable phones released by the company in the last weeks: Vivo Z5, V17 Neo and iQOO Neo. Let’s find out who is better and for which users.

Vivo Z5 vs Vivo V17 Neo vs Vivo iQOO Neo

Design

Glass backs, waterdrop notches, very narrow bezels, and compact dimensions. That is what makes these three devices wonderful when it comes to aesthetics. I would personally choose the Vivo V17 Neo because the gradient pattern on its rear side and its colors are way more original than most of the phones out there. But you should not underestimate the Vivo Z5 which is still a very elegant handset.

Display

All of these devices seem to mount exactly the same panel. The display is a midrange-class Super AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.38 inches and a Full HD resolution with 1080 x 2340 pixels. They all offer brilliant colors but not an excellent reproduction, however, they all integrate an in-display fingerprint reader. Not excellent, but more than sufficient. Obviously, it is a draw in regards to this comparison.

Hardware/Software

If you are seeking the fastest phone and the best device for gaming, productivity, and the most advanced usage patterns, go for the Vivo iQOO Neo without thinking twice. It is the only to feature a flagship chipset: the octa-core Snapdragon 845 running at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz. The SoC is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage, but it lacks a micro SD slot unlike the Vivo Z5 and the V17 Neo. Note that the Vivo Z5 is the only to feature up to 256 GB of internal storage, while the advantage of the Vivo V17 Neo is the presence of a micro SD dedicated slot.

Camera

The camera is the strongest point of the Vivo Z5: the mid-ranger comes with the highest resolution for the main sensor (48 MP) and a very satisfying ultrawide lens, as well as an additional depth sensor. Further, it is equipped with an amazing 32 MP front camera for selfies. Vivo iQOO Neo is the most disappointing one, just like most of the gaming smartphones if we compare them with other flagship phones. Vivo V17 Neo sits in the middle as it comes with the same front camera as the Z5 but a rear camera with lower resolutions and a lower level of detail captured.

Battery

Given that Vivo Z5 and V17 Neo have a way bigger battery than iQOO Neo, both of them should last a lot more on a single charge in most of the scenarios. They both come with a 4500 mAh battery, but I believe that Vivo Z5 will last even more than V17 Neo thanks to its more efficient chipset: the Snapdragon 712 by Qualcomm built at 10 nm. Both Vivo Z5 and Vivo iQOO Neo have a faster charging technology than V17 Neo.

Price

Vivo Z5 is priced €210/$235 in its most affordable variant, Vivo iQOO Neo starts from €250/$278 and Vivo V17 Neo carries a €280/$312 price tag. If you want the most complete device with a high-end camera, a huge battery and well-balanced specifications, go for the Vivo Z5. But overall, if you only care about performance, Vivo iQOO Neo is better. Last, V17 Neo looks inferior compared to the Z5.
