Two new gaming models - in the past - Vivo sub-brands, debuted in China today. iQOO Neo5S and iQOO Neo5 SE no longer have many gaming features, but their specs are still attractive.
iQOO Neo 5S
Vivo iQOO Neo5S is the stronger of the premiere designs. The smartphone is armed with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, accompanied by LPDDR5 and UFS3.1 memory, and an extensive cooling system. The OriginOS Ocean interface based on Android 11 is presented on a 6.62-inch OLED display from Samsung, characterized by Full HD+ resolution, image refreshment of 120 Hz and brightness up to 800 nits, as well as HDR 10+ certification. The selfie camera is 16-megapixel, while the rear camera is triple, with a 48 Mpx main matrix with OIS, a wide-angle 13 Mpx module and 2 Mpx for portraits. The phone powers a 4500 mAh battery with 66 W fast charging. There are three colour versions and three memory sets to choose from:
- 8+128 GB - 2699 yuan, 419 USD
- 8+256 GB - 2899 yuan, 455 USD
- 12+256 GB - 3199 yuan, 505 USD

iQOO Neo 5SE
Vivo iQOO Neo5 SE is visually similar to the model described above, but its specification is already a shelf lower. This smartphone features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor and LPDDR4X and UFS 3.1 memory types, as well as a 6.67-inch Full HD+ display. It is true that it is made in LCD technology - but it has a high refresh rate, up to 144 Hz. The screen brightness drops to 1 nit in the dark, but is 650 nits on a sunny day. The selfie camera is invariably 16-megapixel, but on the back we see a matrix of 50, 8 and 2 megapixels. The purpose of the extras is obvious: wide angle and portraits. The power supply comes from a 4500 mAh battery, charging with a power of 55 W. The smartphone is available in three colours, including a fluorescent one. The equipment is completed with a mini-jack, stereo speakers and a side fingerprint reader. The memory versions and the price list are as follows:
- 8+128 GB - 2199 yuan, 345 USD
- 8+256 GB - 2399 yuan, 379 USD
- 12+256 GB - 2599 yuan, 409 USD
