iQOO Neo7 is very direct, and it is the first release, Double 11 promotion. Except for the 8GB+128GB version, other memory specifications have discounts ranging from 200 to 300 yuan. On the one hand, the pricing strategy of
makes iQOO Neo7 very suitable for users who are stuck in the budget of 3,000 yuan, especially the 12GB+256GB version with 2,999 yuan, which is also the most cost-effective among several versions. On the other hand, the positioning of this phone is quite similar to Tian Ji’s horse racing. It is also 2,999 yuan. The competitors are either equipped with the same configuration but only 8GB+128GB. Or they have the same storage but the performance is not as good as iQOO Neo7, and the card position is quite accurate.
iQOO Neo7 is a sales phone born for the Double 11 promotion, but its configuration, such as Dimensity 9000+, 50 million IMX766V main camera, 120W fast charging, E5 material screen, and flagship phone configuration decentralization make it essentially a mid-range phone that fights the future. It also reflects the subsequent trend of mid-range phones to a certain extent.
One of the strongest performance in the same price
For current mid-range machines, performance is the core proposition. The performance improvement of iQOO Neo7 comes from the update of SoC, equipped with Dimensity 9000+, which is one generation stronger than the previous generation. It is an overclocked version of Dimensity 9000. The CPU performance has been improved by 5%, the GPU performance has been improved by 10%, and the super-large core frequency has been increased from 3.05GHz to 3.2GHz.
After testing, iQOO Neo7 single core scored 1351 points and multi-core scored 4389 points. Comparing Snapdragon 8 and Snapdragon 8+, which are also Android flagship cores:
Snapdragon 8 single-core running score 1180 points, and multi-core running score 3617 points;
Snapdragon 8+ single-core running score 1323 points, and multi-core running score 4332 points;
iQOO Neo7's Dimensity 9000+ CPU performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 used in the previous generation, the CPU performance is faster and stronger than the Snapdragon 8+. In addition, Dimensity 9000+ has a larger 8MB Level 3 cache and higher multi-core performance, which allows the phone to have faster processing speed and efficiency, which is conducive to mobilizing the performance of GPU and improving the gaming performance of the phone.
In Antutu comprehensive running score, the iQOO Neo7 scores have been many times, with scores of around 1.03 million. Although it is already at the flagship level, I feel that the performance of the current version still has room for improvement. If the adjustment is radical, the Dimensity 9000+ running score can reach more than 1.1 million, and the normal one can also achieve around 1.08 million. In addition, this phone is equipped with the largest passive cooling area in the Neo series. Theoretically, it should have better performance at present.
In addition to Dimensity 9000+, iQOO Neo7 is also equipped with LPDDR5 6400Mbps memory and UFS 3.1 flash memory. The specific results are as above, which are the normal level of storage reading and writing of flagship mobile phones.
In general, iQOO Neo7 has single-multi-core performance, comprehensive running scores, and memory reading and writing capabilities that are comparable to thousands of flagships, which all show that this is a top-notch mobile phone, and it will not appear outdated even next year. When it comes to the next generation of Neo, it is possible to follow up on the iterative flagship chips simultaneously. The iQOO Neo6 in the first half of the year was equipped with the Snapdragon 8, the same model as the iQOO 9 series. The subsequent Neo series is expected to continue this year's upgrade method to keep up with the pace of hardware updates. Since iQOO Neo7 has very strong basic performance, what is the actual effect? What is the gaming experience of
with a separate display chip?
iQOO Neo7 is not only equipped with Dimensity 9000+, but also this time it is equipped with a separate display chip Pro+, which is mainly used to increase the game frame rate , reduce game power consumption, and enhance game visual effects. However, in order to control variables during the game testing, the independent display chip test is temporarily closed during the test, and the specific effect of this chip will be tested separately.
game test session first takes " Genshin Impact " as an example. The test is carried out in the 30-minute running map of Sumeru City. This map is larger and more three-dimensional, and the load on the phone is much larger than that of Liyue City before. Many of the phones tested have obvious frame fluctuations, turning on the game's highest picture quality and 60 frame mode, iQOO Neo7 turns off the frame insertion function and enable Monster mode.
iQOO Neo7 After running "Genshin Impact" continuously for 30 minutes, the average frame rate is 54.3 frames and the average power consumption is 6.2W. Through the frame rate curve, it can be seen that the machine is running at 60 frames, and there is no regular fluctuation in frame rate caused by frequency reduction. It runs smoothly, but there are inevitably certain frame drops and small lags. However, in areas with smaller loads, such as outdoor running maps and secret realm battles, it can be stable for about 60 frames.
iQOO Neo7 performs well, but it is still a little different from my previous expectations. Dimensity 9000+ itself has strong performance. This is a processor that can be used on gaming mobile phone . On regular phones, the stability and high frame performance of the game should be a little better than now. If you look at the operating status of iQOO Neo7 at this time, you can see some situations. The training method of
iQOO Neo7 is the same as that of the previous generation. The upper limit of the X2 super-large core and the three A710 large cores are locked at 1.8GHz, with an utilization rate of 88.79%, with a maximum capacity of 100%, and the maximum utilization rate of 3 large cores can also reach 80%. Logically speaking, this scheduling is more radical than the previous generation, and the frame rate should not be the current performance.
The problem is that the game has changed. The Genshin Impact was still 2.0 at the time, and it is now a 3.0 major version. There are more small stutters than at that time and the load is larger. To achieve a score of about 57 frames or even 60 frames, in addition to the optimization of Genshin Impact itself, iQOO also needs to increase the frequency lock limit, so that Monster mode has higher performance and power consumption output. I think that in the subsequent firmware, the Monster mode can be appropriately relaxed, which is also in line with the positioning of the iQOO Neo series itself toward the game.
. The temperature of iQOO Neo7 is very good. The maximum temperature on the back of the body is 42.4℃, and the maximum temperature of the middle frame in the holding area is 35.8℃. It is effective to pile up so much heat dissipation.
In " collapse 3", which has a lower load than "Genshin Impact", the test focuses on abyss combat and enables 60 frame mode. The average frame number of iQOO Neo7 reaches 57.7 frames, with an average power consumption of 4.8W. In addition to the settlement animation transition, some small lags will occur in fixed times, and the game runs very smoothly.
Check the health status of iQOO Neo7 at this time, interestingly come. At this time, the frequency of the X2 super-large core of Dimensity 9000+ reaches 2.4GHz, and the maximum frequency of the three large cores reaches 2.85GHz, with an average frequency of about 1.6GHz. Good guy, the performance of iQOO Neo7 when playing "Cangfa 3" is more radical than when playing "Genshin Impact". This situation occurs in
. I guess iQOO should consider the nature of different games when optimizing it. "Cangfa 3" mostly uses combat and plot, and is essentially an action game. What you need is smooth movement connection. "Genshin Impact" is an RPG mobile game, with larger and more elements and scenes loading, slower game pace, and greater relative power consumption and heat generation. If you run "Genshin Impact" according to the plan of running "Cangfa 3", the frame rate will definitely be higher and more stable, but the power consumption and heat generation will probably not be able to hold back. Needless to say, "Honor of Kings", which has always been featured in
, needs to be said. iQOO Neo7 supports 120 frame mode. After turning on the highest picture quality and maximum frame rate, the average frame rate is 119.6 frames, and the game is smooth and stable. The mobile phone's running mode at this time is the same as when running "Cangfa 3", but the frequency is not that radical.
Without the frame insertion mode, relying solely on the performance output of Dimensity 9000+ itself, the gaming experience of iQOO Neo7 is not bad. Next, turn on the frame insertion mode. The operating principle of iQOO Neo7's independent graphics chip Pro+ is the same as before. It calculates the transition picture between two game screens and adds transition frames to increase the display frame rate. Now it supports multiple native game insertion frames that support 60 and 90 frames to 120 frames.
For example, "Genshin Impact" has a maximum number of frames native to Android, and can be upgraded to 120 frames by inserting frames. The characters' movements will indeed be smoother than before.But there is a small problem. When "Genshin Impact" was running for about 6 minutes, it may trigger some kind of protection mechanism, and the frame insertion chip failed. At this time, the maximum screen refresh rate will return from 120 to 60, but after all, it is 120 frames, and the game frame rate of about 60 frames will be maintained after the failure.
However, the two games "Cangfa 3" and "Honor of Kings" do not have this problem, and can stabilize the 120-frame interpolation mode for a long time. If the low-power mode of interpolation is turned on and interpolation is inserted to 90 frames, the interpolation will not fail when iQOO Neo7 runs Genshin Impact. It is recommended that iQOO optimize the problem of frame insertion chip. You should know that this has not happened before when iQOO Neo6 used the more enthusiastic Snapdragon 8.
So is it recommended to enable the frame insertion function? I think it can be opened. After "Genshin Impact" is inserted to 90 or 120 frames, it can avoid the sudden and serious frame drop to a certain extent, which is conducive to improving the gaming experience. For action mobile games like "Cangfa 3", higher frame rates mean more relaxing battles. As for "Honor of Kings", since there is a 120 frame mode, you don't have to worry about the slight deterioration of the picture due to frame insertion. It seems that it is almost the same whether it is turned on or not, but frame insertion can reduce power consumption.
for the same time, both enable high picture quality and high frame rate. The power consumption of native 120 frames of "Honor of Kings" is about 4W, and the power consumption of 120 frames of insertion frames is about 3W. We can imagine a scene where you and your friends are playing "Honor of Kings" outdoors. At this time, the importance of frame count is higher than the picture quality. While achieving high frames through interpolation, it can also save some power. The delay of interpolation is negligible, which is a very pragmatic choice. Other games such as "Genshin Impact", "Cangfa 3", " Peace Elite ", etc.
has a small detail. There is a custom sound effect in the game settings of iQOO Neo7 to increase the loudness of the game sound. In Neo6, if the game volume is 50%, this function will cause a certain sound break. By the time of iQOO Neo7, the game sound processing was much more delicate and there was no sound breaking problem.
To sum up, the combination of iQOO Neo7's Dimensity 9000+ and the independent graphics chip Pro+ has a good performance in the current firmware game. However, strong performance is one thing. Many people are not familiar with the Dimensity platform. They may know that it has a high cost-effectiveness, but they may not necessarily agree that the performance and experience of the Dimensity flagship platform can already be compared with Snapdragon . With the official release of iQOO Neo7 later, I believe that consumers may have a great improvement in Dimensity high-performance platform like Dimensity 9000+.
fast charging has been increased to 120W, and the image adopts flagship main camera
iQOO Neo7 is a performance-oriented mobile phone, not only upgraded to Dimensity 9000+, but also has synchronous updates on other peripheral configurations.
In terms of charging speed, iQOO Neo7 has been increased from 80W of the previous generation to 120W of iQOO 10, but unlike the previous generation, if you want to experience 120W fast charging, you need to first turn on the default ultra-fast charging mode in the settings-battery-more settings.
In ultra-fast charging mode, it starts charging from 0%, and can charge 34% in 5 minutes. It only takes 25 minutes to fully charge, and the charging speed is quite fast.
It is worth noting that the measurements and weight of the phone are basically the same as those of the previous generation, but the battery capacity of the phone has been expanded from 4700mAh of iQOO Neo6 to 5000mAh. The phone uses the default balance mode when testing battery life, and tests 6 projects: "Genshin Impact", "Honor of Kings", short videos, 1080P videos, browsing Weibo, and watching original paintings and picture quality live broadcasts. Each project is 30 minutes, and the final remaining battery is 51%.
iQOO Neo7 has a good battery life, and the most power-consuming part appears in "Genshin Impact", which consumes 22% of the battery. Without playing similar heavy-load games, it is not a big problem to achieve a battery life of about one day. If you play or have a high intensity of use on your phone, you will still be inevitable to charge twice a day.
In addition to further improving battery life and fast charging, the mobile phone's image performance has also been upgraded accordingly.
iQOO Neo7's main camera has been upgraded to 50-megapixel IMX766V CMOS (a derivative version of IMX766). Although the pixels alone are not 64 million high, the sensor size has increased from 1/1.72-inch bottom to 1/1.56-inch, which has better picture performance and supports OIS optical image stabilization. In addition, there is an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The shooting style of
iQOO Neo7 is somewhat different. The color temperature of this generation of adult films will be a bit colder, and the white balance is more "violent" than the previous generation. If you tend to have a cold color temperature imaging style, then its adult film style should be very suitable for this type of preference.
But aside from the color temperature preference, the imaging quality of the machine is still online. For example, this sample in the daytime scene has a clear imaging effect, and it still has considerable clarity after clicking to enlarge the album. In addition, the surface texture of the building in the back scene is clear and there is no too much smear.
Pay attention to the background sky color transition. The transition from gray-yellow to blue sky is natural. Generally speaking, AI will directly render this part of the sky directly into blue or allow the overall color to be blue to enhance the color. However, iQOO did not do this, ensuring beauty while maintaining the real color changes of the picture.
main shot+1970 film filter
In other scenes with sufficient light, the imaging performance of iQOO Neo7 is also good. But for this phone, my suggestion is to make good use of filters, because the color temperature of the phone itself is cool, and with good resolution, it can show good plasticity with the included filter.
In addition, the HDR performance of iQOO Neo7 is quite good. It is not only the main camera, but also the ultra-wide-angle camera with relatively ordinary specifications, and can also have good HDR performance in backlight scenarios. However, this phone still has some common problems with mobile phones at this price. For example, when shooting scenes with more details in the backlight, it is easy to appear in some purple edge .
In extremely dark night scenes, the imaging of iQOO neo7 highlights a bright spot, and the algorithm is very violent, even brighter than many super-large flagship phones. Nowadays, the vivo-type mobile phones have this style, and the picture is much brighter than that of other brands of mobile phones. If you care, you can reduce the exposure appropriately, and the exposure is about -3. But to be honest, the iQOO Neo7 extreme night scene performed well, and the overlapping part of the leaves did not show too much smear, and the color and clarity of the picture can still be guaranteed, which is already very good for mobile phones at the entire price.
In addition to taking photos, iQOO Neo7's video shooting functions, such as super anti-shake, micro-video, and Vlog shooting, and support up to 4K60 frames of video shooting, and the front supports up to 1080P30 frames of video shooting.
As a mobile phone with a price of 3,000 yuan, the image performance and supporting functions of iQOO Neo7 have excellent performance, and it has a relatively obvious advantage in the imaging level for competitors at the same price. Even from the simplest hardware perspective, the effect of this 50-megapixel IMX766V CMOS will be much better than that of many 64-megapixel and 100-megapixel CMOS. This year, it is not without reason that many flagship phones like to use IMX766.
Don't admit it wrong when purchasing offline
iQOO Neo7 is a bird-changing update. The main internal hardware configuration has almost been replaced, but the appearance part has not changed so much. I even doubt whether iQOO has adjusted the previous generation mold and continued to use it.
The appearance of this phone is basically the same as that of iQOO Neo6. The biggest difference in appearance is that iQOO Neo7 adjusts the arrangement of the camera, the main camera and super wide are placed in the newly added circle, and the macro camera is directly placed on the "cloud step". Another small difference is its infrared position, the distance from the MIC opening is shortened, and the iQOO Neo7 border is further narrowed, the screen is larger, and the plastic bracket is more delicate, so the overall texture is more refined than the previous generation.
By the way, iQOO Neo7 also supports infrared, full-function NFC, dual speakers, etc. The screen fingerprint is a short-focus fingerprint, which is low in position and responds very quickly, but the vibration during unlocking is a bit weak.
The front of the phone is still a centered straight screen. The larger 6.78-inch, resolution 2400 x 1080, 120Hz refresh rate, screen brightness 000 nits , upgraded to the same E5 material screen of the iQOO 10 series, and is also one of the few mobile phones that use E5 screens at the same price. It has higher contrast and peak brightness, and can have higher visibility outdoors.
Like iQOO 10, iQOO Neo7 also promotes DC dimming as a major selling point of the screen. It not only has medium and high brightness DC dimming, but also retains low brightness and anti-strobe, reducing the impact of the screen on eye health. This is much more practical than not looking at the phone at night and looking at the phone less.
In terms of appearance, the difference between iQOO Neo7 and 6th generation is not as big as the 6th generation and 5th generation. When choosing offline, you should pay attention to the difference in appearance between the two. It is somewhat embarrassing to buy the wrong one. Although
iQOO Neo7 is essentially a main performance and a very muscular mobile phone, other configuration upgrades besides the chip are also very comprehensive, including E5 screen, 120W fast charging, 50-megapixel main camera, etc., there is also enough space for the SE version. By "snatching up" the subsequent mid-range configuration, this phone has formed certain hardware advantages and market pressure on mobile phones of the same price. It is expected that many competitors have already cut prices to compete with them at this time, and the price difference between them may be only 100 yuan.
is priced at 2000 to 3000 yuan. iQOO Neo7 is a rare comprehensive choice at present. Due to the discount on Double 11, you can skip the 8GB+128GB version and directly consider it from 8GB+256GB. If the budget is relatively abundant, you can choose the 12GB+512GB version in one step. Whether Neo7 can become a "goalkeeper" at this price depends on the actual market performance, but it is certain that it must be the weather vane that will position the direction of mobile phone hardware in the future.
