Announcement: Vivo iQOO Neo3

The light was seen on the iQOO Neo3 smartphone. A smartphone from the gaming category, stuffed with top-end iron and flaunting frighteningly-top-end features. In the Chinese market, this mega-device received a price tag of ¥ 2698 (₽28,600, $ 381) at the start of sales.

iQOO Neo3 is not a flagship just because iQOO has a bit more cool devices. Considering the model separately, there are no flaws: there is everything, everything with a slide.

Top-end hardware - Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset withX55 modem, providing work in 5G networks. RAM from a modest six to 12 GB. IPS screen, but this does not mean that they saved on it - it supports an ultra-high refresh rate - up to 144 Hz (there is a 60 Hz mode).

The 4,500 mAh battery supports 44 W fast charge and reverse charge.

The main photoblock includes a 48 MP camera, 8 MP wide-angle 112 ° and 2 MP macro. The front camera is 16 MP.

What’s nice, left a normal audio output and notforgot the NFC module. What is less pleasant, there are not many “our” LTE frequencies, so it is hardly worth considering the option of buying the Chinese version. And when the global appears and whether it appears at all - is still unknown.

The start of Chinese sales is April 29th.
