Announcement. Vivo iQOO Neo5 SE - almost a flagship, inexpensive

Vivo iQOO Neo5 SE is another smartphone for the Chinese market. Announced concurrently with Vivo iQOO Neo5S. The couple are so sweet. That one is more expensive and more powerful, this one is cheaper and in some places a little simpler.
The characteristics are very similar to the Vivo iQOO Neo5 Lite (Vitality), but symbolically smaller and with slightly different cameras.

The chipset is powerful, but not originally intendedfor flagships, but for those smartphones that go directly to them. Qualcomm Snapdragon 870. We love Vivo and their BBK cousins ​​from OPPO and Realme. In AnTuTu, we expect from a smartphone in the region of seven hundred thousand points.

The amount of memory is the same as that of Vivo iQOONeo5S, i.e. 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of storage. But the RAM is not that fast, only LPDDR4X. To all appearances, there is no support for memory cards either.

The main feature of the screen is the ultra-high refresh rate. Up to 144 Hz. Matrix - IPS. Size - large, as much as 6.67 ″. The resolution is also in order - 1080 × 2400 (395 ppi).

Medium battery, 4500 mAh. Fast charging - 55W.

The set of cameras is pretty simple.No optical stabilization, no frills. The front camera has a resolution of 16 MP. On the back side of the cameras there are three pieces, 50 + 8 + 2 MP - main, wide-angle, macro.

No NFC module. There are no "our" LTE bands, neither the seventh nor the twentieth. It is not clear what kind of Wi-Fi. Logically - judging by the brand of the chipset - it's probably still the sixth.

Pleasant. The fingerprint scanner is located on the side. There is normal human audio output.

The prices are pleasing to the eyes and wallets - it is a pity that they are not ours. ¥ 2,199 (₽25,400, $ 345), ¥ 2,399 (₽27,800, $ 376) and ¥ 2,599 (₽30,100, $ 408) for versions 8 + 128, 8 + 256 and 12 + 256 GB, respectively.
