iQOO series mobile phones have always been the main game performance of e-sports mobile phones, of which iQOO 7 is released on January 11, 2021, the current price of 12G + 256G top version has dropped to 3098 yuan; and as a model released on December 20, 2021, 12G + 256G top version of Neo5S is priced at 3199 yuan. As a Snapdragon 888 mobile phone, the price difference between the two phones is not too large, so which one will you choose? Buy new or buy old? Not necessarily, I'll make a comparison review below.
Performance aspects
iQOO Neo5S and iQOO 7 are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 + LPDDR5 memory + UFS3.1 flash memory, both support memory expansion technology, while the thermal design is also excellent, but iQOO Neo5S added a unique chip Pro to further improve gaming performance.
Screen aspect
Both phones use a 6.62-inch Samsung E3 material AMOLED straight screen, both support 120Hz refresh rate screen and 1080P screen resolution, the overall screen difference is not large.
Camera aspect
Most of the esports phones on the market have a more general camera configuration, and the same is true of these two phones. iQOO Neo5S and iQOO 7 are both front-facing 16-megapixel cameras, of which iQOO Neo5S rear 48-megapixel main camera + 13mp wide-angle lens + 2-megapixel black-and-white lens, the main camera sensor is Sony IMX598, the overall imaging performance is decent, and the 2-megapixel black-and-white lens is a suspect. iQOO 7 rear 48MP main camera + 13MP professional portrait lens + 13MP ultra-wide-angle macro lens, of which the main camera uses Sony IMX598 sensor, relatively speaking, the rear camera has a slight advantage in imaging.
In terms of battery life
iQOO Neo5S built-in 4500mAh battery, with dual cell 66W flash charge; iQOO7 built-in 4000mAh battery, standard 120W ultra-fast flash charge. In contrast, it can be seen that iQOO7 has obvious advantages in fast charging, but this 4000mAh battery capacity is a hard injury, although iQOO7 to a certain extent makes up for the lack of battery capacity, but the small battery capacity can not support the endurance demand is an established fact.
Other aspects
Both phones use Z-axis linear motors, which are inferior to X-axis linear motors in terms of actual vibration feedback.
Strictly speaking, iQOO Neo5S is more like a micro-upgraded version of iQOO 7, which has been upgraded in terms of unique display, rear camera, battery capacity, although the fast charging is not as good as iQOO 7, but the charging performance is also at the mainstream level, relatively speaking, the overall configuration is more balanced, and it is more worth buying.
