Design and Display​

iQOO Neo 7 sports a 6.78-inch punch-hole AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for gamers. The smartphone’s thin bezels and HDR10+ certification provide an immersive viewing experience.

It also features an in-screen fingerprint scanner, allowing for quick and secure unlocking. On the back panel, you’ll find a square camera module. The device is equipped with a stereo speaker, offering crystal clear audio.

Internals and Software​

The iQOO Neo 7 is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The device runs on Origin OS 3.0 based on Android 13. It offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, 5G, NFC, GPS, and a USB-C port for connectivity.

Cameras​

The iQOO Neo 7 sports a triple rear camera setup with a 64MP primary sensor, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. For stunning selfies, the device features a 16MP front-facing camera. The cameras don’t seem to be the focus here as it’s meant to be a gaming phone.

New gaming phone just released from IQQQ called the Neo 7 for $405 for the 8GB RAM 128 model, and $459 for the 12GB RAM 256 model.

I believe this is the first gaming phone launch of the year. Specs seem decent on the high-end but nothing special compared to the big guys, but for the price of $459 it's not too bad. Biggest issue is Full HD+ and a middle-tier processor. There's no Micro SD card slot either so what you have is what you get.
