Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite Plan

Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite Plan silently launched in India for Rs 219 monthly rental. The plan was launched in response to Jio’s Backup Plan worth Rs 198, launched last month with one-click speed upgrades, OTT benefits, and live TV channels.

In contrast, Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite plan offers no such benefits except a free router and a fixed speed. Here are all details about the newly launched Airtel Broadband Lite plan and how it fares against Jio’s Backup Plan.

Airtel Xstream Broadband Lite Plan

Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite PlanThe Airtel Xstream Broadband Lite plan is priced at Rs 219 monthly, and with a validity of 12 months. At present, the plan has to be purchased at once which means that consumers will have to pay for 12 months at once, and this costs Rs 3,101 along with GST included. With the Airtel Xstream Broadband Lite plan, users get 10 Mbps of broadband speed and a free router as well.

Other than the above mentioned offers, there are no benefits that come along with this plan. Also, Airtel is currently limiting this plan to only three circles including Bihar, UP East and Andhra Pradesh. There is no word on whether Airtel plans to make it available to other circles as well.

RENTAL SPEED DURATION BENEFITS TOTAL PRICE (WITH GST)
219 10 Mbps 12 Months Free Router 3101

The new Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite plan is cheap compared to other existing ones but it doesn’t have any benefits and offers minimal speed. If you’re looking for more then you can choose among a total of five Xstream Fiber broadband plans.

The basic plan is priced at Rs 499 and it offers up to 40 Mbps speed, unlimited internet and calls, Apollo 24/7, FASTag and Wynk Music subscriptions. The Airtel Xstream Fiber standard plan costs Rs 799 with up to 100 Mbps speed, and this one has an added benefit of subscription to the Xstream Premium pack.

For those wanting a content-packed plan can go for the entertainment plan that costs Rs 999 per month and offers up to 200 Mbps speed. With this you get subscriptions to Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime, and Xtsream Premium pack.

Then there’s the Airtel Xstream Fiber professional plan priced at Rs 1,498 that offers up to 300 Mbps speed and includes a Netflix subscription as well. The most expensive Airtel Xstream Fiber plan is priced at Rs 3,999 per month, and it has all the benefits with up to 1Gbps speed.

Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite Plan Launched in India: Here Are the Details

Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite Plan

Airtel has silently launched its most affordable Xstream Fiber broadband plan in India. The new plan is Airtel Broadband Lite and is priced at Rs 219 monthly. Currently, the plan is only available as an annual subscription and offers 10Mbps speed to its users.

According to the Airtel website, the plan comes with a free router. Users must pay Rs 3,101 in total to sign up for the new plan. Unfortunately, the new Airtel Broadband Lite Plan is available only in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh East, and Andhra Pradesh. Moreover, there are no OTT or live TV benefits either.

Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite Plan vs Jio Fiber Backup Plan

Which one to buy: Jio Fiber or Airtel Xstream in 2023? |Selectra India

Plan Airtel Broadband Lite Plan Jio Fiber Backup Plan
Rental Rs 219 Rs 198
Speed 10Mbps 10Mbps
Speed Upgrade NA upgradable up to 100Mbps for up to 7 days
OTT Benefits NA Up to 16 OTT apps sub
Live TV NA 550 live TV channels
Price Rs 3,101 annual Rs 1,490 (5-month service + installation)

As you can see in the table above, the Jio Fiber Backup plan is the better of the two plans. In the case of the Airtel Broadband Lite plan, users get 10Mbps fixed speed for 12 months at Rs 219 per month, which translates to Rs 3,101 annually, including GST. On the other hand, Jio is letting users sign up for the Fiber Backup plan for Rs 1,490, which includes a 5-month subscription and installation charges.

However, Jio offers a 30Mbps or 100Mbps one-click speed upgrade for one, two, or seven days. The pricing for these speed upgrades starts from Rs 21 for 30Mbps speed for a day to Rs 152 for 100Mbps for a week. Jio is also offering entertainment upgrade plans worth Rs 100 per month and Rs 200 per month. For Rs 100 a month, users will get a free 4K set-top box, 400 live television channels, 6 OTT apps, and a YouTube subscription. And for Rs 200 a month, users will get eight additional OTT services and 550 live TV channels.

Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite Plan

Not only that, but Jio is also offering Entertainment Bonanza Plans ranging from 10Mbps to 300Mbps with varying OTT benefits and live TV channels. If a user doesn’t want the OTT and TV benefits, there are three internet-only Jio Fiber Backup plans for Rs 198, Rs 399, and Rs 699.

Clearly, Jio is a better option with varying add-ons for its Fiber Backup plan. Granted, you must pay for the upgrades, but having these options is commendable. On the contrary, Airtel’s plan is relatively straightforward and will suit those who need basic Internet connectivity.

Faqs on Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband Lite Plan

1) JioFiber Broadband Back-Up Plan. Details?

Ans) As we told, this new light plan of Airtel will compete with the Jio Fiber Backup plan of Jio company present in the market. The plan is priced at Rs 198 per month, which was launched last month. In this plan, users will get unlimited data at a speed of 10 Mbps. This backup plan will be useful to the user in case the primary connection goes down. Along with this, the company also brings speed upgrade plans, in which users will get 1 day, 2 days and 7 days options. Also, the internet speed can be increased from 30 Mbps to 100 Mbps.

If you want a plan for 1 day, then you will have to pay Rs 21 for a plan with 30 Mbps speed, while the cost of a plan with 100 Mbps speed is Rs 32. The plan with 30 Mbps speed for 2 days costs Rs 31, while 100 Mbps speed will cost Rs 52. The cost of the plan with 30 Mbps speed for 7 days is Rs 101, while for 100 Mbps speed you will have to pay Rs 152.

For example, if you think that your primary internet connection will be down for a day, then you can go with a plan with 30 Mbps or 100 Mbps speed option.

2) How do the two plans compare?

Ans) While both Jio and Airtel’s plans are pitched against each other, there are a few differences in both offerings which a potential subscriber should keep in mind before opting for either. Both plans are only available for new users and come with a minimum subscription duration of 5 months (990+GST for Jio & 995+GST for Airtel) and have a Rs 500 charge for installation though the router is free with both plans. As for the speed, both plans come with 10 Mbps bundled but Jio Fiber backup plan offers flexible 1/2/7 day speed booster packs to upgrade speeds to 30 or 100 Mbps whereas the Xstream Fiber Standby plan can only be upgraded permanently to one of the standard Xstream plans and does not offer temporary speed boosters.

As for the entertainment add-ons both plans offer optional upgrades which provide a free hybrid set-top box. While JioFiber Backup plan offers a bundled subscription to 6 OTT apps and 400 live channels at an additional Rs 100/month and 14 OTT apps and 550 live channels at an additional Rs 200/month, the Xstream Fiber Standby plan offers 350+ live channels at an additional Rs 200/month with no bundled OTT subscriptions. The main difference between the live channel offerings by both operators is that Jio STB provides it over the data network through the bundled OTT apps whereas Airtel STB provides it over the traditional DTH network.

Availability

While the JioFiber Backup plan has been openly advertised by the operator and is available to any new subscriber to book, the Airtel Xstream Fiber Standby plan is currently only available through Airtel executives who would offer it to subscribers who don’t opt for the standard Rs 499 plan due to affordability issues. Airtel has specified that the Rs 399 standby plan is not eligible for Airtel Black benefits.

Airtel Xstream Fiber has also launched another 10 Mbps plan called Broadband Lite plan priced at Rs 219 plus GST and has to be subscribed for 12 months in advance, bringing the cost to Rs 3101 inclusive of GST with no additional installation charge and offers a free wifi router. This is currently available only in three telecom circles namely Bihar, UP East, and Andhra Pradesh and may be extended to other circles eventually.

Jio AirFiber price

HIGHLIGHTS

* Jio AirFiber services are expected to launch sometime this year.
* A new video shows what’s supposed to be the AirFiber router and how it will work.
* There’s also a tip on the possible pricing of the Jio AirFiber in India. 
* Jio might launch AirFiber services at its upcoming AGM.
* Jio’s Air Fiber services will provide high-speed internet without wires.
* Jio plans to expand its Jio Fiber and Air Fiber services to 100 million in the next two to three months.

Jio AirFiber was unveiled by Reliance Industries at its 45th AGM last year. As the name suggests, Jio Air Fiber is designed to give users fiber-like speed wirelessly through a 5G antenna.

Jio AirFiber is also claimed to provide internet speeds up to 1Gbps. There hasn’t been an official launch date yet but it is speculated to debut sometime this year. A new report now suggests the Jio AirFiber launch will take place in another month or two.

The Jio AirFiber services will reportedly launch in June or July this year, according to a YouTuber “The Technologist”. The YouTuber has also uploaded a video showcasing what’s said to be the Jio AirFiber, and has demonstrated its unboxing and installation.

Jio AirFiber price

According to the video, there are two variants of the AirFiber where one is a Wi-Fi router which is non portable, and the other is portable and comes with Wi-Fi 6 support. Even the expected pricing has been tipped with the non-portable one retailing at Rs 5,500, and the portable one at Rs 6,000.

India’s largest telecom operator, is expected to launch its new services soon. The telecom operator is likely to launch Air Fiber services in the country in the coming months. The Air Fibre services are expected to increase Jio’s connected home strategy. The Air Fiber services are known for providing high-speed internet without traditional wires.

The new development has been shared by Reliance Industries President Kiran Thomas. He said that Jio Air fiber be available in the coming months and it will accelerate the company’s strategies for connected homes. He added that the company plans to bring this service when 5G will be available to the majority of people.

Jio AirFiber price

Also, Jio plans to expand Jio Fiber and Air Fiber services to 100 million houses in the coming two to three years. Thomas also believes that Air Fiber services will increase the home broadband base due to its advantage of 5G network.

The leading telecom operator has already verified the radio frequency planning, installation process, and service stability through pilot projects in a few areas, which clearly means that Jio will soon make some announcements on the launch of the Air Fiber services.

It is worth noting that Air Fiber services can offer capacity, speed, and proper indoor coverage through differentiated spectrum holding. Plus, Jio said that it can provide Wi-Fi coverage up to 1000 square feet via its Home Gateway.

How Jio AirFiber Works

Jio AirFiber price

The video shows that both models of the AirFiber comes with Wi-Fi routers where one will be the antenna and the other will work as the extender. You will have to place one router somewhere on top like the roof of your house, and the other will be inside through which you’ll get internet connectivity.

Once setting up the hardware is complete, you will have to complete the installation process by connecting to the network. First you will need to insert the Jio 5G SIM in the AirFiber and then download the Jio Home app on your phone. Once you’ve downloaded it, you will have to connect to the Jio Fiber router and enter the Wi-Fi password that’s located on the bottom of the router.

Jio AirFiber price

In addition to wireless connectivity, the Jio AirFiber will also have a USB port, a LAN and a WAN port. The Jio set top box can also be plugged into the AirFiber router for your TV. This installation process is for the standard AirFiber router and not the portable one. There is no word on how exactly the portable AirFiber will work, and if the company even plans of launching one.

Reliance Jio Profits In March 2023

Jio AirFiber price

Besides, Jio has managed to increase its profit by 13 percent to Rs 4,716 crore by the March end; however, this is the smallest growth in profits due to investments made in 5G services and no plans to raise tariffs. The
profit was Rs 4,173 crore in the Q4 of the last financial year. On the other hand, the company has increased its average revenue per user to Rs 178.8 from Rs 167.6 in March 2022.

Apart from that, the company announced that its users have consumed over 10 exabytes of GB of data in a month. The report issued by Jio said that the average user is consuming 23.1GB of data every month. This is 10GB extra or more in the last two years.

In addition, the company said that it has added more than 3,50,000 5G cells all over the country. Plus, the company shared that so far its True 5G services are available in 2,300 towns and cities and plans to cover all 22 circles by the end of this year. Jio also shared that its users are consuming 1,003 minutes every month calling.

2) How Jio AirFiber works?

iOS Features

HIGHLIGHTS

* Microsoft’s Phone Link app lets Android users access basic phone features on a Windows PC.
* This company is now adding support for iOS devices as well.
* Phone Link for iOS has started rolling out to all Windows 11 and iPhone users. 

Microsoft’s Phone Link that first launched as ‘Your Phone’ allows Android users to use their phones on Windows desktops. Through Phone Link, Android users can check notifications, receive calls, and even use smartphone apps on the laptop or computer without checking their phone. Microsoft is now adding support for iOS on Phone Link.

Microsoft has started rolling out Phone Link for iOS for all Windows 11 users globally. Since it has just been released, users should start seeing the feature on their PCs in the coming weeks, and by mid-May it should be available to all. Similar to Phone Link for Android, iPhone users will now be able to access their device’s features on a Windows PC.

Phone Link for iOS Features

iOS Features

This feature essentially allows iPhone users to answer calls, reply to messages, and access contacts all from their PC and without having to check their phone. And yes, you will be able to use iMessage too but in a limited way.

How to use Phone Link for iOS

iOS Features

Firstly, you’ll need an iPhone running iOS 14 or higher, a Windows 11 PC, Bluetooth connectivity and the latest version of the Phone Link app. You can check if the feature is available on your Windows PC by typing ‘Phone Link’ in the search box that’s available in the taskbar.

Once it’s available, a pop-up screen explaining what Phone Link is will appear. Here, you’ll have to choose whether you want to connect an Android or iOS phone to your Windows PC.

So your iPhone has to be always connected to the Windows PC via Bluetooth to use Phone Link features. Also, Phone Link supports only iOS and not iPadOS. iMessage support on Phone Link also comes with limitations as you cannot share photos or videos, and access group chats on Phone Link.

The limitations are due to iOS, and there’s no word on whether it will be relaxed in the future. But for now you can enjoy the basic features on Phone Link for iOS.

iOS Features iOS Features

Faqs on iOS Features

1) Getting started for Insiders who receive the preview of setting iPhone on windows ?

Ans) If you are an Insider who receives the preview of Phone Link for iOS, you will see the option to pick your iPhone on the Phone Link homepage (in addition to choosing an Android device). If you see the iPhone button greyed out with a coming soon message, that means you are not yet in the preview.

After choosing iPhone, the guided installation will kick off to pair your iPhone. You will be directed to follow a set of steps that will guide you to pair your iPhone and PC over Bluetooth. This will initiate after you scan a QR code shown on your screen, and then move on to the confirmation steps that helps us confirm the phone and PC are in range.

During this step, you will be asked to confirm the code in Phone Link matches the code shown on your iPhone. Once you complete pairing, you’ll be asked to grant a set of permissions that allow us to get all your favorite content sync’d over to Phone Link.

This is the final step. Phone Link will direct you to give permissions on your iPhone in your iPhone’s Bluetooth settings. This is an important step in getting notifications and contacts to show correctly in Phone Link from your iPhone.

Once the guided installation completes and your iPhone is paired to your PC and the right permissions given, Phone Link will deliver basic iOS support for calls, messages, and contacts. This means you will be notified directly through your Windows notifications. Phone Link does not support replying to group messages or sending media in messages.

As you try out this experience with your iPhone, if you run into any issues make sure you submit feedback via Feedback Hub under Apps > Phone Link. To see a list of known issues and to troubleshoot issues with the Phone Link Team – click here to visit this Microsoft Tech Community forum post.

2) How can you Install iCloud and iTunes for Windows?

Ans) iCloud for Windows is Apple’s olive branch to Windows users, bringing over photos, videos, email, files, bookmarks and more to your Windows machine. It’s not the most comprehensive or feature-filled application out there, but at least it’s an official Apple product that’s semi-regularly maintained.

It’s particularly handy if you’re beginning to rely a lot on iCloud for your apps, photos, videos, and files. You can get a lot of the stuff on your iPhone synced over to your Windows machine, so the files themselves are physically saved to disk and available to edit, view, share, or whatever else you want to do with them.

In the case of photos and videos handled by iCloud, you can sync the files on your Windows computer up to the iCloud Photo Library (so they’re available on your iPhone) and sync the files from your iPhone to a folder on your Windows device too. New iCloud Drive and iCloud photos entries appear in File Explorer.

This is the easiest solution if you’re heavily invested in Apple’s apps on your iPhone and want everything mirrored over to Windows—all the key stuff like emails, photos, and so on. Because you’re relying on Apple’s software, you can be reasonably sure that everything under the hood is going to work smoothly.

If you want to manage a big music library (playlists and all) from your Windows computer, or you want to watch the films you’ve bought on your iPhone on your PC, or you want a local backup of the data on your iPhone, install iTunes for Windows. If you use Spotify and Netflix for all your music and video, you can probably manage with just iCloud for Windows instead.

3) How to Sign into iCloud in Windows 10?

Ans) iCloud for Windows takes care of a lot of the tricky issues of integrating Apple’s services into Windows programs, but if you want to take a more piecemeal approach—just email, or just calendars—then approach the problem from the Windows side instead.

Open up Mail in Windows 10 for example, click Accounts, then click Add account: You’ll notice iCloud is one of the options listed. Sign in with your Apple credentials, and Mail will let you send and receive messages as if you were using Mail on macOS. All of the background technical work is done for you, you just need your username and password.

The same trick works in the People and Calendar apps that come as part of Windows 10. If you click the cog icon in the lower left-hand corner of either app, then have a look at your accounts, iCloud is available as one of the accounts to add. If you’ve already installed iCloud for Windows, this might have already been done for you.

You can manage this more broadly by going to the Accounts page in the Windows Settings pane. Under the Email & accounts tap you should see iCloud listed, or you can add it from here too. To get rid of an account, click on it, then choose Manage and Delete account.

This is really a more manual version of the same jobs that iCloud for Windows will do automatically on your behalf. If you want to take more control over the Apple accounts that you see in Windows, and don’t want to install any extra software on your Windows machine, go through the Windows apps instead.

Fake Apple products

HIGHLIGHTS

* Counterfeit Apple products worth $290,000 (over Rs 2.36 crore) were confiscated at a US Airport.
* The shipments comprised 1,000 Apple AirPods Pro and 50 Apple Watches.
* Apple counterfeits were seized on March 29th

A large number of counterfeit Apple products valued at approximately $290,000 (R2,36,92,855) were confiscated at Washington Dulles International Airport in the US. On March 15th, at Dulles, officers examined four shipments sent from China to an address in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Fake Apple products

As per the US Customs and Border Protection release, the shipments comprised 1,000 Apple AirPods Pro and 50 Apple Watches, NBC Washington reported.

The officers detained the products for investigation, suspecting them to be counterfeit. The Machinery Centers of Excellence and Expertise (CEE) trade experts have examined pictures of the products and concluded that they are fake.

Authorities seized counterfeit Apple products On March 29th. However, no charges have been made in relation to the incident, the report said.

Apple iOS 16 feature to detect Fake AirPods

Fake Apple products

The issue of counterfeit products has been a longstanding battle for Apple, with AirPods and AirPods Pro being particularly affected. According to a report in 2021, Apple has suffered a loss of approximately $3.2 billion (Rs 261,883,539,200) due to counterfeit AirPods. Because of this, Apple added a feature to iOS 16 that tells users if they connect a fake pair of AirPods.

Apple introduced a new verification check in the iOS 16 update to identify fake AirPods. Users will receive an alert from iOS indicating that their headphones are not authentic when they pair fake AirPods. Users are not prevented from pairing or using fake AirPods with this feature. The notification notifies the user that they are utilising fake AirPods.

To confirm the authenticity of a pair of AirPods, you can also utilise its serial number. To locate the serial number for AirPods or AirPods Pro 2, check the underside of the charging case lid. The left earcup of the AirPods Max displays the serial number. To view it, you will need to take off the magnetic ear cushion.

Fake Apple products

To check the coverage of your device, visit checkcoverage.apple.com after obtaining the serial number. The AirPods’ warranty and additional coverage details will be presented on this webpage. Proper results will be visible if your AirPods are authentic. An error message will be displayed by the website if the items are not genuine.

Counterfeit AirPods have become a significant problem over the past several years, leading to Apple adding a built-in feature to iOS 16 that warns users if they connect a counterfeit pair of AirPods.

In an attempt to crack down on the problem, officials at Washington Dulles International Airport recently seized 1,000 pairs of counterfeit AirPods, alongside a collection of counterfeit Apple Watches as well..

Fake Apple products

In total, officers seized $290,000 worth of fake Apple products, according to a report from NBC Washington. The products were in Apple’s “signature simple, white packaging” and were headed from China to an address in Virginia. In total, the shipment included 1,000 fake pairs of AirPods Pro and 50 fake Apple Watch Ultra devices: Officers inspected four shipments sent from China to an address in Fairfax County, Virginia, at Dulles on March 15.

The shipments contained 1,000 Apple AirPods Pro and 50 Apple Watches, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection release.

Trade experts at the Machinery Centers of Excellence and Expertise (CEE) viewed photos of the products and determined they were counterfeit. They appraised the product’s retail price at about $290,000.

Fake Apple products

Apple has battled counterfeit products for years, but it’s been a major problem for AirPods and AirPods Pro especially. In fact, a report in 2021 estimated that fake AirPods had cost Apple around $3.2 billion.

To counter this, Apple added a new system in iOS 16 last year that warns users when they attempt to pair counterfeit AirPods with their iPhone or iPad.

Still, some manufacturers of fake AirPods have already found ways to circumvent that iOS 16 warning.

In the past, Apple has said that it works with “law enforcement, customs, merchants, social media companies, and e-commerce sites” around the world to remove counterfeit product listings.

“Counterfeit products deliver an inferior experience, and they can often be dangerous,” the company said in a previous statement.

Faqs

1) 1,000 fake AirPods and 50 fake Apple Watch Ultra devices were confiscated at Washington Airport coming from China.Details ?

Ans) Mostly, these fake Apple products are manufactured in China and shipped to the United States. Manufacturers make these products at a fraction of the price and scamming users to pay the full price. United States officials and Apple are consistently working to track down counterfeit products and prevent the costs. NBC Washington reports that officers confiscated fake AirPods and Apple Watch Ultra devices from a DC-area airport worth $290,000, to be exact.

The report highlights that the fake AirPods and Apple Watch models were packed in Apple’s signature-style white packaging. It is very hard to distinguish between fake and original as the prior are manufactured to deceive the end user. The fake products were shipped from China to Virginia. As mentioned earlier, 1,000 fake AirPods and 50 Apple Watch Ultra devices were taken hold of. The incident took place on March 15.

Apple has long been working to counter the issue as it costs Apple a lot of money. For instance, in the year 2021, fake AirPods cost Apple more than $3 billion. To tackle the dilemma, Apple has implemented several solutions that users should follow. In iOS 16, Apple used a mechanism to let users know if fake AirPods have been connected to the iPhone. However, the manufacturers have found a way to bypass the notification. Since investigations are still underway, it is unclear at this stage who is responsible for the act.

Apple and U.S. officials work together to remove fake product listings. Usually, these types of products are sold online, where the end-user has no idea whether the product is straight from Apple. Since users are paying the full price, it reduces sales numbers for Apple. The company could potentially devise a solution for fake AirPods and Apple Watch Ultra models in iOS 17. While exact details are scarce at the moment, we will let you know as soon as Apple shares an update. It was previously reported that burglars cut a hole through the bathroom deal to steal over $500,000 worth of Apple products from the Apple Store.

2) Where are the fake apple products confiscated?

Ans) A large number of counterfeit Apple products valued at approximately $290,000 (Rs 2,36,92,855) were confiscated at Washington Dulles International Airport in the US. On March 15th, at Dulles, officers examined four shipments sent from China to an address in Fairfax County, Virginia.

iQOO Neo 8 Pro spotted on AnTuTu running the newly launched MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ SoC

iQOO Neo 8 Pro

HIGHLIGHTS

* The iQOO Neo 8 series of smartphones is reportedly in the works.
* The series might include the standard iQOO Neo 8 and the iQOO Neo 8 Pro.
* The iQOO Neo 8 Pro has today been spotted on the AnTuTu benchmarking website, which reveals its key specifications.

iQOO is reportedly in the works to launch its iQOO Neo 8 series of smartphones soon in
China. The ¡QOO Neo 8 lineup will likely consist of the vanilla iQOO Neo 8 and the iQ00 Neo 8 Pro.

While there has been no official confirmation from the brand regarding the launch of the series, we have constantly been receiving several leaks and rumours surrounding both devices lately. The latest one comes in the form of a new AnTuTu listing of an iQOO device, which could likely be the iQOO Neo 8 Pro.

iQOO Neo 8 Pro The alleged iQOO Neo 8 Pro is seen flexing the newly launched MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ processor. The listing also reveals some key specifications of the device and hints at an imminent launch.

Let’s take a look.

iQOO Neo 8 Pro

* For those unaware, AnTuTu is a benchmarking platform, which provides an in-depth analysis of a device’s performance with respect to its CPU, GPU, and more such aspects, and also gives a consolidated summary of the performance by providing a single score, which can be used to benchmark the performance with the other devices in the market.

* The AnTuTu listing for the alleged iQ0O Neo 8
Pro (model number Vivo V2302A) confirms that the device will be powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ processor, which will be coupled with up to 16GB RAM and up to 512GB internal storage.

* The listing also confirms that the iQ0O Neo 8
Pro will boot the latest Android 13 OS out of the box.

* As far as the actual results are concerned, the QOO Neo 8 Pro has managed to pull off an impressive score of 1368597 on the AnTuTu benchmarking platform.

* To further add to the speculation that this is indeed the iQOO Neo 8 Pro, we noticed that 1QOO has started teasing the arrival of a new smartphone, which would be powered by the Dimensity 9200+ chip. The device, ideally, would belong to the Neo 8 series, given that the brand’s number series (QOO 12 lineup) is still far away from a release.

While the launch date of the iQ00 Neo 8 series has not been revealed yet, we can expect both devices to launch in China in May 2023. To learn more about the iQ0O Neo 8 series of smartphones, you can head to our previous coverage for the same.
