Vivo iQOO Neo gaming phone to launch on July 2

Following the footsteps of ASUS and Xiaomi, China’s Vivo also want to grab a pie of the multi-billion dollar gaming industry by launching a gaming focused smartphone. The Chinese phone maker has confirmed to launch iQOO Neo gaming smartphone on July 2.

The iQOO Neo will be powered by the Snapdragon 845 SoC, the same processor that powered some of the flagships in 2018 such as OnePlus 6T, Asus ROG Phone, Razer Phone 2, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Xiaomi's Black Shark. With the Snapdragon 845 processor, gamers can play some of the demanding games on iQOO Neo.

As part of its new strategy to deliver rich mobile experience in the 5G era, Vivo at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2019 showcased several 5G enabled smart devices and applications, as well as new technology breakthrough in terms of charging smartphones.

Based on 5G enabled smartphones, the company introduced its strategy to expand its 5G device offerings to include AR glasses, smart watches, smart headphones and more. Vivo will adopt a multi-device, multi-application, and multi-scenario approach in its development, in order to support the needs of consumers to connect with the digital and the physical world, and to provide a more holistic, richer user experience across all vivo 5G devices.

Vivo Super FlashCharge 120W is another ground-breaking innovation showcased at MWC Shanghai, a first in the industry to deliver 120W ultra-high power charging. The Super FlashCharge 120W features a new charge pump technology with a deeply customisable Type-C data cable and travel charger, realising 120W ultra-high power charging (20V/6A). According to the data from lab test, Vivo Super FlashCharge 120W takes only five mins to charge a 4,000mAh battery from 0 to 50 per cent, and can fully charge the smartphone in just 13 minutes.
