Not that long ago, iQOO officially announced that it will release the iQOO Neo 5 Vitality Version on May 24. Today, it showcased the appearance and some new features of the machine.
The company says that the iQOO Neo 5 Vitality Version has two new vitality colors: polar night black and ice peak white. The posters show that the phone will inherit the previous family-style design, with a punch-hole full screen design on the front. The selfie shooter is at the upper right corner of the screen. On the opposite side, the phone carries a triple-camera, of which the sensors are arranged vertically.
As for key features, our protagonist will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chip, a UFS 3.1 storage and a PDDR5 memory. So the performance will be close to the highest level. The Snapdragon 870 inherits many features of the Snapdragon 888. But it costs less. So many manufacturers use this chip on their flagship phones to keep the price under control. MediaTek does the same with its Dimensity 1100. The latter yields the Dimensity 1200 in a few areas. But it is capable of providing an flagship-level performance and cost less.
