For small partners who like to play games, in addition to having a flagship processor when choosing a mobile phone, it is also necessary to consider whether a product has been specially optimized for the game experience in other hardware configurations and functional designs. After all, the flagship products of mainstream Android mobile phone manufacturers are similar in processors, and if you want to achieve differentiated competition, you must have more attractive characteristics.
In the previous iQOO Neo5, we saw the so-called "standalone display chip" configuration, which can achieve high frame rate smooth effects for low frame rate games with the help of MEMC interpolation technology. With this advantage, the iQOO Neo5 became one of the most popular performance flagships in the first half of the year. Now to the end of 2021, iQOO launched an upgraded version of Neo5S while it was hot, which was improved and improved again on the basis of the original, which is quite worthy of attention.
First of all, in terms of core configuration, iQOO Neo5S is full of sincerity. It was upgraded from the original Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 to Snapdragon 888, and the "sub-flagship" instantly transformed into a "true flagship". On the Antutu platform, the running score of iQOO Neo5S is close to 840,000, which is also the mainstream level of the flagship level, and has not shrunk at all.
As for the unique chip mentioned above, this time the iQOO Neo5S has also evolved to the unique chip Pro. In addition to continuing to support MEMC motion computing compensation technology, this time the configuration improvement also brings the exclusive "Frame Rate Boost" mode and the "High Frame Low Power" mode.
So how much progress has the iQOO Neo5S, which has undergone "two-core evolution", made in the gaming experience? Let's test the League of Legends mobile game first. The result is as shown in the following figure, iQOO Neo5S unexpectedly achieved no stuttering and no frame drop throughout the whole process, and the average frame rate remained at a full frame state of 60fps.
Since the League of Legends mobile game cannot pose too much of a "threat" to iQOO Neo5S, let's challenge the "hardware killer" - "Original God". As you can see from the chart below, the average frame rate of iQOO Neo5S is 52fps, especially in the second half of the game, which is also a full frame state of 60fps, and the performance is more satisfactory. After all, most of the flagship models I've tested before start to heat up after running Protoshin in high frame rate mode for a few minutes, which also highlights the advantages of the iQOO Neo5S in the gaming experience.
It is worth mentioning that with the help of the unique chip Pro and frame rate boost mode, iQOO Neo5S has increased the game screen of 60fps to the effect of 120fps. If you have an additional flagship ship next to you to compare it, its advantage in fluency is even more obvious. After all, the sharing of the pressure of the processor GPU by the unique chip Pro is not just a gimmick, but can really improve the game experience.
As for the high-frame low-power mode, the effect is also surprising through actual measurements. Also in the one-hour game, we saw a power savings of 37.5%.
From the actual measurement point of view, iQOO Neo5S has indeed become one of the best flagships in the same price point after evolution. If you consider the 66W dual-cell flash charge that can be fully charged in only half an hour, iQOO Neo5S is indeed in place in the game experience.
