In order to survive, vivo mobile phones have really spent a lot of energy in recent years, not only changing their own models, but also opening up a new iQOO series, in order to let users have the desire to choose.
If you continue to follow the old path, then its Y series may be difficult to get out of the circle, the offline X series may not be able to really impact the high-end flagship market, and it is difficult to occupy more shares in the online mobile phone market.
It can be said that vivo mobile phones are really very prescient, especially the birth of the iQOO series, which helps it to gain a firm foothold in the online market, and the development speed of this series has also accelerated a lot.
Take the 2021 iQOO series, the first half of the year released iQOO 7, and then released iQOO Neo5, iQOO Neo5 vitality version and iQOO Z3 and other models, the second half of the year is to bring iQOO 8 series and iQOO Neo5s, iQOO Neo5SE, iQOO Z5 and other models.
Although it seems that the development speed is very fast, but each product has its own characteristics, whether it is LCD screen or independent display chip, or excellent cost performance and 120W fast charging, etc., have brought a lot of surprises to users.
However, when the number of models becomes more, the speed of price reduction will also accelerate a lot, especially iQOO Neo5s and iQOO 8, which have been significantly reduced in price, and it seems that after the market in 2022, these models have begun to gradually withdraw.
The iQOO "dual machine" fell to the new low price
Take iQOO 8, at present, in many distributors to regulate to 2779 yuan, compared with the initial starting price, may be able to fall below a thousand yuan to describe, it can be seen that its price reduction is indeed very large.
If the iQOO 8 price reduction is because of the release of the iQOO 9 series, then the iQOO Neo5s is not lagging behind as a new machine, and it is currently regulated to 2799 yuan in many distributors, and it is a top version of 12GB +256GB.
You know, the market positioning of the two products is not the same, one is a flagship machine, one is a mid-range mobile phone, but when the price of the two mobile phone products is very close, the choice may become very tangled.
The parameters of the two models are very similar
I have to admit that whether it is iQOO 8 or iQOO Neo5s are equipped with Snapdragon 888 processors, and equipped with Samsung Enhanced Edition storage technology LPDDR5+UFS 3.1, the performance gap for daily use will not be large.
At the same time, an independent display chip is added, which can assist the GPU for image processing, thereby improving the game frame rate, and can also optimize the display effect of video or pictures, which can be said to have become the main highlight of the iQOO series.
And the front camera of the two mobile phone products is 16MP, the rear camera is 3 cameras, and the main camera is the IMX 598 sensor, which is also very similar to the two products, and it is also the key to choosing entanglement after the price reduction.
The differences between the two products
Of course, iQOO Neo5s and iQOO 8 are still many different, such as the independent display chip or the former is more powerful, after all, the addition of a new upgrade of the unique chip Pro, not the original version.
At the same time, iQOO Neo5s adopts high conductivity rare earth heat dissipation, which has better heat dissipation ability and can better suppress Snapdragon 888, but iQOO 8 adds dual pressure sense and dual X-axis linear motor under the screen, which is also where everyone needs to choose.
There is also the iQOO 8 using the BoE production of Zhou Dongyu arrangement screen, while iQOO Neo5s uses Samsung's screen, diamond arrangement brings a more delicate display effect, which is also a big difference.
However, compared to the 66W fast charge used by iQOO Neo5s, the 120W fast charge supported iQOO 8 is more powerful, and the camera ability is also stronger than that of iQOO Neo5s.
The iQOO 8 main camera adds a micro-gimbal, which can play an effect similar to an external stabilizer, greatly improving the impact of hand shake on imaging, and the portrait lens is naturally more practical than the iQOO Neo5s's round-up lens.
In simple terms, iQOO 8 pays more attention to the gaming experience, so it adds on-screen pressure sense, dual X-axis linear motors, which are obvious things that improve perception, and iQOO Neo5s is undoubtedly more biased towards regular users.
The choice is really hard
Just looking at the above data, it is indeed very difficult for everyone to choose between iQOO 8 and iQOO Neo5s, at least the price gap is very small.
But you can also not choose, on the one hand, the iQOO 9 series has been officially released, plus the next iQOO Neo series will also announce new machines, then for these two models must have a greater improvement.
On the other hand, the Snapdragon 888 processor is last year's old chip, this year's new machine will be equipped with a stronger processor, and even the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 and Tianji 9000 that break through the million points are expected to come to the mid-end market.
Write at the end
The development momentum of iQOO in the past two years can only be described by the word "fierce", whether it is positioned as the most high-end digital series or the Neo series that tends to gamers, it has gained quite good sales and word of mouth in these two years. But in summary, do you think these two products are going to withdraw or will users choose to tangle? Welcome to leave a message, like, share.
