For a long time, the author's impression of the iQOO Neo series of mobile phones is very good, such as the author's previous generation of main machine - iQOO Neo5, in this mobile phone hardware homogenization is serious at the moment, it can become its own brand sales & sales at the 618, double eleven two annual shopping carnivals, relying on not only the cost of the stacking tactics, but also the experience to win the recognition of the majority of consumers.
On December 20, the iQOO Neo series launched a new machine - iQOO Neo5S, which has won the attention of many mobile game players as early as the warm-up stage with the official certification of the top professional e-sports league and the identity of the designated machine for the official event of the King glory college league. In the blink of an eye, the author has been working on the iQOO Neo5S for a while, how does this new machine actually perform? This article will talk to you in detail.
Software and hardware synchronization enhancement
From the perspective of consumers, when choosing a mobile phone, the configuration of the processor, storage and memory is one of the key points to consider, because these three configurations often determine the upper limit of the mobile phone experience.
The iQOO Neo5S features the flagship three-piece set of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 + Enhanced UFS 3.1 + Enhanced LPDDR5. These three configurations should be very familiar to everyone, among them, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 uses a 5nm process, compared with the higher Snapdragon 870, CPU performance increased by 25%, GPU performance increased by 35%. Let's take a look at the entertainment rabbit running score that everyone likes, after testing the iQOO Neo5S achieved a score of 831491 points, which is very in line with the performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 model.
The enhanced version of UFS 3.1 + Enhanced version of LPDDR5 can bring faster daily practical performance to iQOO Neo5S, such as opening applications, copying files, installing large software, etc., the experience is very fast.
In fact, for mobile phones at the same price, there is no pressure at all to run commonly used software such as WeChat, Weibo, and Douyin, but when the number of applications in the background increases, or when a mobile game with several G is opened, the running speed of the mobile phone will be slowed down. Therefore, iQOO Neo5S in the hardware configuration at the same time, but also the use of memory fusion 2.0 technology, can be 4GB of storage space, scheduled to the storage to use, if you are in the hands of the 12GB storage version, you can get 12GB + 4GB of storage experience, even if the background hangs multiple applications, it is not easy to kill the background problem.
Moreover, iQOO Neo5S uses the application of full freeze 2.0, the experience upgrade brought by this technology is quite obvious, the application hanging in the background will enter the frozen state, which plays a role in reducing the killing background and saving power consumption, when the user calls the application out of the background, it is still the state before freezing.
Heat dissipation is the focus
With the performance brought by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, iQOO Neo5S can smoothly run major mainstream mobile games, and in a number of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 models, the unique chip Pro can be described as iQOO Neo5S to achieve the killer of the game experience out of the circle. In the game, slide the shortcut menu on the side, click the game interpolation function; turn on the option to increase the frame rate, iQOO Neo5S will insert transition frames between the two frames of the game screen through the unique chip Pro, presenting a smoother picture, and the unique chip Pro will share the GPU's screen rendering pressure to reduce the heat.
For example, "Glory of the King", when the game is opened to increase the frame rate option, when tested with PerfDog, only 59.8 frames of data are displayed, but the actual screen is presented with nearly 120 frames of game screen, and the visual experience is immediately improved.
During the game, the frame rate of iQOO Neo5S is stable, and there is no hot fuselage, which shows that it has a very good heat dissipation ability. In order to make iQOO Neo5S stable output performance in the game for a long time, iQOO did put a lot of thought into it. First of all, starting from the main heat source of the mobile phone - the motherboard, the material on the motherboard cover is upgraded, which is a high thermal conductivity alloy heat dissipation material that adds rare earth elements (lanthanum, cerium), with ultra-fast thermal conductivity. With the VC liquid-cooled vaporizer board and a large area of graphite plate, the heat is efficiently dispersed, and finally effectively improves the cpu frequency reduction due to the high temperature of the motherboard area, making the game screen stutter.
iQOO Neo5S supports VRS variable resolution rendering technology, and players of "Tianya Mingyue Knife" and "God of War Relic" deserve a good review. This technology can distinguish the user's visual center and edge, by focusing on improving the resolution of the visual center area, reducing the resolution of the visual edge area, to achieve the purpose of improving the frame drop problem, reducing power consumption, and will not significantly reduce the user's visual experience.
Battery life measurement, rapid return to blood
The enhanced version of the LPDDR5 itself has the characteristics of low power consumption, and the unique chip Pro has the effect of optimizing power consumption while increasing the frame rate. And the iQOO Neo5S has a large 4500mAh battery built-in, how does it actually perform? Let's look at the measured data.
1 hour of online video, 1 hour of Bluetooth music, 30 minutes of WeChat voice... After 4.5 hours of heavy use, the iQOO Neo5S has 61% of its power left. When working, the power is fully charged in the morning, and there will still be a lot of electricity left when you go home from work.
When used daily, the 66W flash charge of the iQOO Neo5S brings a good charging experience, tested, 10 minutes charging 40%, 37 minutes full. And during the charging process, the fuselage can be kept at a low temperature.
New system, new experience
For many friends, a large part of the reason why they like a mobile phone brand is because of its system. iQOO Neo5S is equipped with OriginOS Ocean for iQOO, an experience, there are three points worth talking to you about.
The first is a rich desktop gameplay, through the "deformer" function, users can change the application icon color and airplane mode, Wi-Fi, data and other control center icon colors. Tap the "deformer" icon on the desktop for quick change and easy access with colorful icons.
Wallpapers can also be quickly changed in the deformer, and OriginOS Ocean for iQOO has added three new behavioral wallpapers: Pinnacle of Perfection, City of Tomorrow, and Light Encounter.
The second point is the atomic component, OriginOS Ocean for iQOO combined with the user's daily use of the machine scene, adding many practical components. For example, "Baidu Map" can make it more convenient for us to go out and take a taxi; "Alipay" can let us control the stock market movements in real time; "taking medicine components" can remind us to take medicine on time.
The third point is the improvement of privacy and security. OriginOS Ocean for iQOO brings an atomic privacy system that can be said to be our own small world. We can migrate almost all the apps, files, photos, and videos in the phone, and they are saved locally and the main system cannot access them. And turn on the owner recognition function, when the mobile phone is operated, the system will recognize through the face, if the person using the mobile phone is not you, it will prohibit all operations.
How strong is the image?
iQOO Neo5S adopts a rear triple camera scheme, 48MP main camera (Sony IMX598, supportS optical image stabilization) + 13MP ultra-wide angle lens + 2mp monochrome lens. The camera configuration can be easily understood, how strong is the image? Let's look at the real sample.
In a scene with plenty of light during the day, the 48-megapixel main camera of the iQOO Neo5S has good resolution, and the picture perception is clear and transparent. Individuals like color and have a high degree of color saturation. With the blessing of OIS optical image stabilization, the film completion rate of daily photography is quite high.
In terms of color style, the ultra-wide-angle lens of iQOO Neo5S and the 48-megapixel main camera are unified, the details of the picture are relatively rich, and the distortion control is also good, which has reached the degree of usability.
The iQOO Neo5S handles noise control and highlight suppression well in low-light environments, but the ability to capture detail is reduced.
A balanced mid-range killer
This one in my hand is an orange light jumping color scheme, the visual perception is full of vitality, and it is very eye-catching when used in daily use. The camera module continues the family-style visual cloud level design, and the back of the fuselage looks harmonious. The iQOO Neo5S fuselage has a good sense of unity, the feeling of holding in the hand is rounded, and the back cover uses AG frosted glass, which is delicate to the touch and is not easy to stain fingerprints.
Reversed to the front, the front face of the iQOO Neo5S is decent, and the top and bottom bezel controls are not bad. Its screen quality is also good, support 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, local peak brightness can reach 1300nits, daily brushIng Weibo, watching videos has a good visual experience, in the outdoor highlight environment, you can also display the screen content more clearly.
Overall, iQOO Neo5S continues the product direction of the previous generation and brings a very intuitive experience upgrade. This phone is not a pure stacking model, and every hardware upgrade is a good use of its due strength. The exterior design lacks some novelty, but the appearance and workmanship are online. Obviously, this phone has achieved the most balanced performance in the same price point.
