iQOO Neo 7 Specifications

• The iQOO Neo 7 has a Dimensity 8200, a large 6.78-inch 120Hz display, and a 5,000mAh battery that charges quickly.
• Although it is more of a gaming phone than a camera phone, its design is retro and draws inspiration from the 8-bit gaming era and Polaroid cameras.
• In order to accomplish this, the Dimensity 8200, a 4nm chipset, features a Mali-G610 MC6 GPU and support for displays with a high refresh rate.
• There are four A55 cores at 2.0GHz and four Cortex-A78 cores on the CPU, with one of them operating at up to 3.1GHz and the other three peaking at 3.0GHz.
• The FuntouchOS 13 system, which is based on Android 13, is able to add eight virtual gigabytes by utilizing the Extended RAM 3.0 feature. The Neo7 phones come with either 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
• iQOO has equipped the phone with a large vapor chamber and multiple layers of graphite sheets because, as always, cooling is essential for long-term performance.
• A fascinating point: The Neo7 is India's first Dimensity 8200 phone, just as the iQOO 11 was India's first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone.
• In terms of optics, the 64MP ISOCELL GW3 sensor on the Neo7 is based on ISOCELL 2.0 technology; the Neo6 utilized a 64MP GW1P sensor. iQOO removed the ultra-wide camera for this generation, leaving only the main module, a macro module, and a depth module to keep it company. This phone is more of a gaming phone than a camera phone, as previously stated.
