iQOO has announced the Neo7 Racing Edition, the company’s latest mid-range phone in the Neo series, as it had promised. The phone retains the 6.78-inch FHD+ Samsung E5 AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, independent Pixelworks chip, up to 1500 nits brightness and a large 4013mm² VC cooling and has Multilayer graphite heat dissipation.
However, this is powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 instead of MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ SoC in the Neo7. It also replaces the 50MP Sony IMX766V sensor with the 50MP Samsung GN5 sensor with OIS. It has the same 8MP ultra-wide and a 2MP macro camera, along with a 16MP front camera. The phone packs a 5000mAh dual-cell battery with support for 120W fast charging.
