Display and Performance
Both phones in the series share the same stunning 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, a 2800×1260 resolution, and an impressive 92.9% screen-to-body ratio. The 2160Hz PWM dimming helps reduce eye strain during extended use.
On the processor front, the standard Neo 8 ships with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 paired with an Adreno GPU, while the Pro steps up to the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ paired with the new Immortalis-G715 GPU. Both chips are capable flagship performers suited for heavy gaming and multitasking. RAM goes up to 16GB LPDDR5, and storage reaches 512GB using the fast UFS 4.0 standard.
Camera Capabilities and V1+ Chip
The camera setup marks a significant step forward for the Neo line. The iQOO Neo 8 Pro features a 50MP Sony IMX866V main sensor alongside an 8MP ultra-wide lens, while the standard Neo 8 uses a 50MP primary sensor paired with a 2MP Bokeh lens for portrait shots. Both models carry a 16MP front camera for selfies and video calls.
Crucially, this is the first iQOO Neo series to include the V1+ chip, iQOO's dedicated image signal processor designed to accelerate AI-driven photo processing and real-time camera enhancements — a feature previously reserved for the higher-end Z and 11 series.
Battery and Connectivity
A large 5,000mAh battery powers both devices, backed by 120W wired fast charging over USB Type-C, making top-ups fast and convenient. Connectivity is comprehensive: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, 5G, 4G LTE, GPS, and an in-display fingerprint sensor are all included. Audio enthusiasts will also appreciate aptX support and a Type-C audio jack.
The iQOO Neo 8 series runs Android 13 out of the box, layered with iQOO's Origin OS 3.0 skin, which adds gaming-focused utilities and customisation options.
