Last year's main "game" mobile phone, iQOO Neo5s achieved a good reputation, and on the evening of April 13, iQOO Neo6 was officially released.
Game features are still the core focus of this new machine.
From the hardware point of view, iQOO Neo6 is equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 processor, this chip uses a 4nm process, compared to the previous generation of Snapdragon 888, CPU performance increased by 20%, at the same time, the new machine is also equipped with an enhanced version of LNDDR5 and an overclocked version of UFS 3.1, from a functional point of view, can reduce the speed of copying large files.
What is more interesting is that iQOO Neo6 is also jointly developed with Samsung and launched the "UFS Deep Defragmentation 2.0" function, which has been tested in practice, compared with the previous generation of 5s, such as installing large mobile games such as "Glory of the King", the time is significantly shortened.
In order to cope with the game scene, iQOO Neo6 is separately configured with a standalone display chip Pro, one of its functions is to increase the frame rate of the game. For example, the high-load game "Original God", the native frame rate is 60fps, which can be increased to 90fps after interpolation. After testing, after 810P resolution and 30 minutes of gameplay, the new machine gave a performance of near full frame, which is quite good data.
In the face of mainstream games such as "Glory of Kings" and "Peace Elite", also after 30 minutes of gameplay, a stable frame rate is expected.
It is worth noting that with the blessing of the independent display chip Pro, for example, under the native frame rate of the "League of Legends Mobile Game" 90fps, the new machine also provides an "optimize power consumption" option, which improves the heat performance of the new machine.
However, the fever problem of Snapdragon 8 has always been a problem that needs to be solved by the current flagship mobile phone.
iQOO Neo6 adopts the "cascading rare earth heat dissipation" technology, stacked with six layers of stereoscopic graphite inside, in addition to the use of high thermal conductivity rare earth alloy in the motherboard part, with a 2396mm liquid-cooled VC equal heating version, layer by layer of heat dissipation technology, are to suppress the heat problem of Snapdragon 8.
After testing, under the parameters of the highest picture quality and frame rate, after 30 minutes of "Glory of the King", the fuselage temperature control is quite "calm", and "Original God" also handed over the performance of more than 40 degrees Celsius after 30 minutes, which can be said to be the success of "How to Train The Dragon".
Therefore, in line with the conclusion of the previous generation of iQOO Neo5s, in the current flagship product, iQOO Neo6 is still one of the most suitable mobile phones for gaming.
In addition, the new machine also provides a "dual control pressure sense" function, which provides players with an additional two-finger operation through physical mapping. For example, in "Peace Elite", you can set the "open camera" to the left pressure, so in the game, just press the left area of the screen to call up the set action.
Also due to the optimization of the game, the dual-route motor equipped with iQOO Neo6 also has corresponding functions in the actual scene. For example, in Glory of Kings, when the hero releases a skill to the right, the right side of the fuselage vibrates, and vice versa, bringing a more azimuth vibration feedback to the player.
What I personally prefer is the "Vehicle Reminder" function in "Peace Elite", specifically, when a non-user drives a vehicle, through vibration feedback, the effect of the displacement of the sound field is simulated, making the game more immersive.
In addition to vibration, iQOO Neo6 uses stereoscopic dual speakers, which are customized large-amplitude 1210D speakers and bottom ultra-linear speakers 1611B, which provide more accurate "listening positions" in game scenes through a wide sound field.
In terms of screen, iQOO Neo6 adopts a straight screen design, supports a maximum 120Hz refresh rate, and the global peak brightness is 800nits, and the color calibration is carried out before leaving the factory, and the average deltaE ≈0.49. Or in the game scene, the new machine supports visual effect enhancement, in this option, the user can also adjust the game's hue, saturation, brightness and other parameters.
In terms of imagery, the new machine has three cameras on the rear and adopts a stepped rectangular arrangement. In terms of parameters, they are 64 million pixel main camera, 12 million pixel ultra-wide angle lens and 2 million pixel black and white lens. One detail is that the "Neo" logo under the lens also has a more trendy font.
In terms of battery life, the new machine is equipped with a 4700mAh capacity battery, and adopts 80W wired charging, which can be charged into about 30% in 5 minutes.
As iQOO's main product line of young and games, the Neo series has always had a clear positioning, so whether iQOO Neo6 can continue the reputation of 5s, I think the subsequent sales will give the answer.
iQOO Neo6 prices are as follows:
8GB+128GB 2799元；
8GB+256GB 2999元；
12GB+256GB 3299元。
