iQOO Neo6 launches globally with a Snapdragon 870 chipset

The iQOO Neo6 and iQOO Neo6 SE debuted in China recently and now they are starting their global journey. India is the first stop, and it comes with its own plot twist - the global phone will be called iQOO Neo6, but will have hardware identical to the Neo6 SE.

The phone comes with a 6.62” E4 AMOLED, manufactured by Samsung with Full HD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. Inside it is a Snapdragon 870 chipset with either 8GB or 12GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage.

The 64MP main camerа on the back features OIS, and you get 8 MP ultrawide + 2MP macro shooters alongside it. The front has a single 16MP camera inside a punch hole.

One of the key selling points of this iQOO Neo6 is the 80W FlashCharge support for the 4,700 mAh battery.

The vivo-owned brand evolved past its gaming roots but still has some performance-related features that some mobile gamers will appreciate. The phone has a Cascade Cooling System which is a huge vapor chamber (2,396 sq. mm.), a 5-layer 3D graphite cooling plate, dual stereo speakers and 4D game vibration with X-Axis linear motor.

Other highlights include Funtouch 12 on top of Android 12, Bluetooth 5.2, and Dolby Hi-Res certification for the audio setup.

The iQOO Neo6 launches today in two colors - Dark Nova and Cyber Rage, which are essentially Blue-Green and Aqua-Purple-Pink gradients. The base 8/128GB version costs INR29,999($385), while the 12/256GB tier is INR33,999 ($440).
