iQOO Neo6 is out with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. This makes it one of the most affordable models sporting a high-end processor, even though it has some downsides compared to flagship phones out there.
iQOO Neo6 specs
The iQOO Neo6 features a large 6.62-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels. The panel has a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1,200 Hz touch sampling rate. In particular, competitive games will benefit from the latter because it ensures quicker input and reliability while playing them. The phone has a centered punch-hole cutout for the 16MP front camera and you’ll find a triple camera arrangement on the back.
The rear camera has a primary 64MP sensor with Optical Image Stabilization. There’s also a 12MP ultra-wide shooter and a 2 MP depth sensor.The phone comes out of the box with Origin OS Ocean, which is based on Android 12.
In terms of battery capacity, the phone has a 4,700 mAh battery and can charge at up to 80W via fast charging. The company claims that the charging takes you from 20% to 80% charged in only 19 minutes. That’s a strange way to advertise the charging technology. We believe it takes around 30 minutes from flat to full charge.
The phone’s CPU, as previously said, is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It has the best possible performance and a strong GPU that will handle demanding games with ease. There are three different variants of the phone:
- 8GB RAM + 128GB storage capacity.
- 8GB RAM + 256GB storage capacity.
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage capacity.
iQOO Neo6 release date
Unfortunately, we do not have any information regarding international release date. However, there are reports suggesting a debut in India with a different processor. We don’t know what route the company will take in other markets.
