Announcement. Vivo iQOO Neo5S - flagship hardware and an incomprehensible camera

Vivo continues to churn out smartphones. And before the New Year, it seems, there are still a lot of announcements awaiting us ...

The Vivo iQOO Neo5S was announced in China today. Let's get acquainted.

Chipset - well-known to all QualcommSnapdragon 888. Now it is only the third in performance among the chips from Qualcomm. Nevertheless, it is still very flagship. In AnTuTu, we expect from a new smartphone in the region of eight hundred thousand points.

Memory. 8 or 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM. 128 or 256 GB of constant. Support for memory cards is not mentioned. With a probability of 99% it is not here.

AMOLED screen, large, 6.62 ″. The resolution is high, 1080 × 2400 (398 ppi). The refresh rate is up to 120 Hz.

The battery consists of two halves of 2250 mAh, which gives a total of 4500 mAh. Charging is not a record, but still very fast - 66 watts.

The main camera is slightly unconventional.On the one hand, its resolution is only 48 MP, which is not much by modern standards and is usually a sign that the smartphone is not doing very well with photographic capabilities. On the other hand, there is optical image stabilization, which, on the contrary, usually indicates that the camera from a smartphone should turn out to be good.

Ordinary auxiliary cameras. 13 + 2 MP - wide angle and macro. The front camera is most likely not a masterpiece either. Although - who knows? 16 MP its resolution.

There is an NFC module, there is a sixth Wi-Fi. The fingerprint scanner is nestled under the screen. What is missing is the standard audio output and “our” LTE bands, neither the seventh nor the twentieth.

The price is humane. ¥ 2,699 (₽31200, $ 423), ¥ 2,899 (₽33500, $ 455) and ¥ 3199 (₽37,000, $ 502) for versions 8 + 128, 8 + 256 and 12 + 256 GB, respectively.
