iQOO Neo 7 Pro Indian price range tipped ahead of alleged June 20 launch
Yesterday, we reported on a leak revealing the launch timeline of the iQOO Neo 7 Pro smartphone in India. It is reported that the device could launch around June 20. Now, the price range of the device has also been tipped.
Tipster Paras Guglani has shared some insights regarding the upcoming iQOO Neo series smartphone.
According to Guglani, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro will be exclusively available in black color in India. The smartphone is expected to come in a configuration option of 16GB RAM and 256GB storage.
Furthermore, Guglani suggests that the iQOO Neo 7 Pro’s price in India will fall within the range of Rs 38,000 to Rs 42,000. However, it remains unclear whether this pricing applies to the base variant or the specific 16GB + 256GB configuration.
Earlier reports have claimed that the iQOO Neo 7 Pro coming to India is essentially a rebrand of the iQOO Neo 8 launched last month in China.
If that turns out to be the case then we can expect the smartphone to come with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1260 x 2800 pixels resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio, a 144Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,300 nits of brightness.
Under the hood, the device might feature an underclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. The iQOO Neo 7 Pro is expected to offer generous memory options, with the possibility of up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
Powering the device will be a substantial 5,000mAh battery, supporting rapid 120W fast charging capabilities to ensure prolonged usage without interruption.
For optics, we can expect the device to debut with a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and a 50-megapixel (OIS enabled) +2-megapixel (depth) dual-camera system.
iQOO, a couple of months ago, launched the iQOO Neo 7 smartphone in the Indian market. The company is gearing up to launch yet another Neo series smartphone in the country.
Even though iQOO hasn’t specifically mentioned the moniker of the upcoming device, various leaks and rumours suggest that it will be the iQOO Neo 7 Pro.
In the latest development, tipster Paras Guglani has claimed that the upcoming Neo series smartphone will be the iQOO Neo 7 Pro and it will launch on June 20 in the country.
Alongside the launch date, Paras has also dropped possible India pricing of the iQOO Neo 7 Pro. Take a closer look at the details.
Tipster Paras Guglani took to Twitter to share information about the upcoming iQOO Neo series smartphone. The tipster says that the iQOO Neo 7 Pro will be launched in only the black colour variant in the country.
He further said that the company will bring the handset in a 16GB + 256GB configuration option in India.
Apart from it, Paras claims that the iQOO Neo 7 Pro price in India will be between Rs 38,000 to Rs 42,000. It is not clear if this will be the pricing for the base variant or the 16GB + 256GB configuration variant.
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro Indian variant (with model number I2217) was recently spotted on the Geekbench benchmark database with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and 8GB of RAM.
Another leak, that surfaced on the web yesterday, suggests that the iQOO Neo 7 Pro Indian variant will be a rebadged iQOO Neo 8 from the Chinese market. To those unaware, the iQOO Neo 8 and the iQOO Neo 8 Pro were launched last week in China.
The iQOO Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ processors respectively.
