Thoughts
On paper, the iQOO Neo 7 looks like an impressive phone. You won’t have any complaints about the performance of the device. Moreover, the smoothness of the device should not be an issue as well. This is possible due to the Dimensity 9000+ chip and the 120Hz refresh rate. In addition, the battery experience will be more than pleasant as well with 120W fast charging. The only con of the device is the cameras in my opinion. The device comes with only one usable sensor which is the OIS-enabled 50MP sensor. The other sensors are just placeholders. Moreover, there should’ve been a 32MP selfie shooter at least. However, overall, the device is decent for the price. Let us know your thoughts in the comments as well.
