The smartphone name is not yet mentioned by the company. But let’s just take it to be the iQOO Neo5S. The chipset is massively powerful and will beat all competition in India. The only thing that matters is not the numbers on the chipset but the integration and optimization of the software with the hardware components, namely the RAM, SoC, ISP, etc.
The memory configurations of this smartphone have not yet been revealed and are left unpacked for the launch event. The price is to be around Rs. 25,000 since the iQOO Neo5 starts at around Rs. 27,000 in India.
The triple camera array is arranged in a vertical layout. Ignore the 2MP sensor, be it depth or macro. At least a 5MP sensor should be provided to be effective. No problem, the design does look better when it’s triple lenses than dual-lens set-up.
The smartphone is likely to run Android 11 with iQOO UI on top. Also, it might pack a 4500mAh battery with W fast charging
