This comes after the Neo 7 launch in February. The Neo 7 SE that was launched in China last year is the Neo 7 in India. The original Neo 7 powered by Dimensity 9000+ is not expected to launch in India.
The Neo 7 Pro in India is said to be the rebranded Neo7 Racing Edition, which was introduced in China last year.
The phone is said to retain the 6.78-inch FHD+ Samsung E5 AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate. However, this is said to be powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 instead of MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC in the Neo7.
Instead of 64MP camera in the Neo 7, the Pro version is said to get a 50MP camera with Samsung GN5 sensor with OIS while retaining the 5000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging.
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro is expected to come in 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB versions. We should know the exact launch date in the coming days.
