iQOO has finally launched the Neo 7 in India after a long wait. But the brand has rebranded the Chinese Neo 7SE as the global Neo 7. As a result, there are quite a few differences between the Chinese and global variants. Here, we’ll look at the specs, features, availability, and expected price of the iQOO Neo 7 in Nepal.
iQOO Neo 7 Overview:
Design, Display
Visually, the Neo 7 is very similar to the Neo 6. The rectangular camera module remains on the back, with a punch-hole cutout display on the front. However, iQOO managed to squeeze in a larger 6.78-inch screen, up from the 6.62-inch of its predecessor. The display has 1300 nits of brightness, a refresh rate of 120Hz, HDR 10+ support. And iQOO has thrown in a whopping 1200Hz touch sampling rate as well.
You get an in-display fingerprint scanner for biometrics. The Neo 7 is available in Interstellar Black and Frost Blue color.

Performance
Powering the smartphone is a Dimensity 8200 SoC. With four Cortex-A78 performance cores and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores, the 8200 is a capable chipset in its own right. The Mali-G610 MC6 GPU is in charge of graphics here.
For cooling, IQOO has used a 2396 mm2 large vapor chamber (VC) and a 3D graphite structure. Memory options include up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. And the phone boots on FunTouch OS 13 based on Android 13.
Exclusive to China-only Neo 7
Now, don’t get confused, the China-only Neo 7 has a few differences in terms of performance. There, the smartphone gets a more powerful Dimensity 9000+ chipset. On top of it, iQOO has offered a display-supporting chip dubbed the ‘Pro+’. It helps to reduce power consumption for a better gaming experience and more stable framerates. A 4013mm2 VC cooling system further helps the SoC to run at peak performance.
Similarly, to detect and monitor the temperature in real time, the smartphone employs 9 temperature sensors and a self-developed intelligent temperature sensing algorithm. The smartphone has dual under-screen press-sensitive controls, dual X-axis linear motors, and 4D game vibration for a better gaming experience.
Rest of the specs
There are also some differences in terms of cameras. While the China Neo 7 has a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2MP macro sensor, the global variant has a 64MP primary sensor and a couple of 2MP depth and macro sensors. Nonetheless, OIS is still present in the primary camera. A 16MP selfie camera is included for taking selfies. Aside from that, the Neo 7 includes a 5000mAh battery that can be charged using a 120W adapter.
