Regarding the two mobile phones of iQOO Neo7 and Neo7 Racing Version, presumably many friends are still more concerned about which one is better, they currently have a price difference of 100, the same 12 + 256 version, Neo7 is priced at 2899, Neo7 Racing Edition is priced at 2999, but the latter gives an additional pair of Type-C interface original ear wired headphones, conservatively estimated to be worth forty or fifty yuan, so the price is not as much difference as 100.
The reason for the Neo7 racing version, I guess it should be out of strategic needs, but the users who buy the Neo7 racing version are indeed a little more than those who buy the Neo7, because in terms of time, the Neo7 racing version is released more than two months later than the Neo7, and it can be seen from the iQOO self-operated flagship store of the e-commerce platform that the Neo7 racing version has accumulated far more sales than Neo7, but they do have a lot in common, such as:
1. Screen: are 6.78-inch size Samsung E5 straight screen, with the highest 1080P resolution, support 120Hz highest refresh rate and 300Hz conventional touch sampling rate and 2000Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, peak brightness of 1500 nits, through SGS low blue light eye protection certification, also support HDR10+ high dynamic color display, Delta E value is about 0.32, JNCD value is about equal to 0.28.
The screen of the two is very good, because it uses a Samsung E5 screen, so it is a standard diamond arrangement, in terms of display fineness performance is good, there is also DC dimming, although not as protective as high-frequency PWM dimming, but there is no large shortcoming, and iQOO Neo7 and its racing version also give other brands are not supported under the screen dual control pressure sensitivity technology, this function is similar to the mobile phone shoulder button, but better than the shoulder button.
2. Motor: all are equipped with symmetrical dual X-axis linear motors, with dual-control pressure sensing technology under the screen, it is really like putting a physical button on both sides of the screen. This is also a configuration that many other brands of mobile phones do not give.
3. Battery life: all equipped with 5000mAh large battery, and equipped with 120W wired fast charge, whether it is battery life or blood recovery speed, can bring a more satisfactory experience.
4. Speaker: Both are closed stereo dual speakers, the difference is that the other speaker of the two is made by earpiece, which is not as symmetrical as the real dual-speaker sound quality, but it is quite good.
5. Dedicated graphics chip: Both are equipped with the Pro+ version of the independent graphics chip, but I think it is no different from previous generations, and even negative optimization has appeared in some games.
For example, "Peace Elite", the first generation of independent graphics can turn on dynamic interpolation in HDR picture quality + extreme frame rate scenes to achieve 120 frame smoothness, while Neo7 and Neo7 racing versions can only turn on the dynamic interpolation effect of unique display Pro + in the scene of smooth picture quality + 90 frame rate, giving us a picture without light and shadow special effects, which is not as good as the performance of the first generation of independent graphics.
6. Camera: In addition to the difference in the main camera sensor, the camera configuration of the Neo7 and Neo7 racing versions is a combination of 16 million pixel front + 50 million pixel main camera + 8 million pixel ultra-wide angle + 2 million pixel macro, and the main lens is equipped with OIS physical optical image stabilization, and there are also tips for horizontal correction when taking photos.
The difference between the two is only in the processor and the main camera sensor: the processor of the Neo7 uses Dimensity 9000+, and the main camera sensor is Sony IMX766V; The processor of the Neo7 racing version uses the Snapdragon 8 + Gen1, and the main camera sensor is Samsung GN5.
Which is stronger than Dimensity 9000+ or Snapdragon 8+Gen1?
The structure of Dimensity 9000+ is 1 3.2GHz X2 super large core + 3 2.85GHz A710 mid-core + 4 1.8GHz A510 small cores, the integrated 5G baseband is M80, and the integrated GPU is Mali-G710 MC10; The structure of Snapdragon 8+Gen1 is 1 3.2GHz X2 super large core + 3 2.75GHz A710 medium core + 4 2.0GHz A510 small cores, the integrated 5G baseband is X65, and the integrated GPU is Adreno 730.
From the structural point of view, the mid-frequency performance core of Dimensity 9000+ is better than the corresponding core of Snapdragon 8+Gen1, while the A510 energy efficiency core of Snapdragon 8+Gen1 is stronger than the corresponding core of Dimensity 9000+, so there are exchanges in terms of CPU, and it is a tie.
However, the baseband and GPU performance of the Dimensity 9000+ are not as good as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1. The 5G peak downlink rate of the M80 baseband is only 7Gbps, while the 5G peak downlink rate of the X65 baseband can reach 10Gbps, which is the most obvious difference, of course, there are other hidden differences between the two, since Huawei's Kirin chip was forced to stop production, Qualcomm's 5G baseband has become the strongest.
In terms of GPU, Mali-G710 MC10 is naturally not comparable to Adreno 730, Qualcomm's self-developed Adreno series GPU architecture is even Apple's envy, although Apple's A-series chip GPU is also very strong, and the public version architecture like Mali-G710 is naturally not comparable to Adreno 730, so that the Snapdragon 8 + Gen1 model in many game tests has a slightly higher score than the Dimensity 9000+ model.
However, for most mainstream games, the performance and experience provided by these two chips are similar, but it may be that game manufacturers optimize the adaptation of Snapdragon 8+Gen1 to better, so the author personally believes that the Snapdragon 8+Gen1 model is more stable than the Dimensity 9000+ model.
Who is the main camera?
As mentioned earlier, the main camera sensor of the iQOO Neo7 and the Neo7 racing version is different, the main camera sensor of the Neo7 is Sony IMX766V, and the main camera sensor of the Neo7 racing version is Samsung GN5.
Sony IMX766V is a vivo customized sensor, slightly better than the public version of Sony IMX766, the amount of light has increased by more than 5%, but the same 50 million pixels and 1/1.56-inch outsole, while Samsung GN5 is 50 million pixels and 1/1.57-inch outsole, both of which are very close in all aspects.
But Samsung GN5 may not have as good performance as Sony IMX766, naturally not as good as Sony IMX766V, but from the actual shooting effect tested by some bloggers, the main camera photo effect of iQOO Neo7 and Neo7 racing version of the two mobile phones is not much different, and even the Neo7 racing version is better in some scenes, it can be seen that tuning is very key, and the quality of tuning is in the hands of mobile phone manufacturers.
So to sum up, I personally think that it is more stable to choose iQOO Neo7 racing version, mainly because game manufacturers may be better to optimize and adapt to Snapdragon 8 + Gen1, because MediaTek's processor is not very famous before, and most of the programmers of game manufacturers are mainly adapted to Qualcomm chips when writing code, and Dimensity chips have only begun to catch up within this two years, and may only win the adaptation of those more mainstream games for the time being.
Of course, most people only play mainstream games, such as "Honor of Kings", "Peace Elite" and even "Genshin" such mainstream games, Dimensity 9000+ can be handled, but non-mainstream is difficult to say, plus Snapdragon 8 + Gen1 has a slight advantage in 5G performance and GPU performance, and other aspects of configuration and tuning are almost exactly the same, I think choosing Neo7 racing version is more stable than choosing Neo7, do you think?
