8) How is iQOO Neo 7 Pro design and build?
Ans) During the limited time I spent with the phone, the iQOO Neo 7 felt like a sleek device with a lot of potential at a glance. At the back, you have a leather finish panel with iQOO’s subtle yet unmissable branding resting neatly at the center.
Looking closely, you will notice a metallic, copper feel to the branding, and it looks quite brilliant, in my opinion. A metallic copper frame surrounds the phone’s camera module and gives it a subtle yet evident lift. The camera lenses do not protrude and neatly fit into the camera module, and I personally love the way it looks.
The outer edges of the phone also come in a copper metallic build and, in my opinion, are the most attractive part of the phone’s design. The copper colour compliments the orange panel perfectly and there could have been no better colour option for the metallic edges.
The leather finish of the back panel also adds to the phone’s elegance and gives it a classy look, along with resulting in a great grip. Even though the phone comes with a cover in the box, the phone never slips .
9) How is iQOO Neo 7 Pro performance and camera?
Ans) During my brief usage of the phone, I scrolled through my social media feed, browsed the web, watched an episode of The Good Doctor, and played BGMI for about half an hour. Scrolling through social media and browsing the web was an absolute delight and I have no complaints so far. The apps opened quite quickly and I was also able to switch between different apps seamlessly. iQOO claims that you can open up to 36 apps at once without facing any problems and we will surely explore this part in the detailed review.
Scrolling, with the phone’s 120Hz refresh rate, is a great experience on this device and the moment you begin using the phone, you feel like you are using a high-end device that will result in a consistently strong performance.
I didn’t notice any issues and the sound quality was also top-notch. Be it Netflix’s ta-dum sound or the show’s short yet intriguing clip, everything sounded crystal clear. The sound didn’t necessarily fill the room, but it wasn’t inadequate either.
The gaming experience on the phone was also satisfactory. The moment I dived into the world of BGMI, the phone automatically launched the multi-turbo acceleration and gave me the option of toggling the Game Assistant by gently swiping right at the top left corner.
The Game Assistant lets you enable the Esports mode, reject calls, record screen and more. We’ll explore this further in our detailed review but as of now, the experience of playing BGMI on HD graphics settings with a high frame rate was quite pleasing.
