In the 3000 yuan market, in addition to Redmi K70, there is another big winner, which is iQOO Neo9
Recently, when he was helping a friend choose a mobile phone, he found that in fact, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the winner in the mid-range market is not only Redmi, but also iQOO, and its popular product is iQOO Neo9.
Let's talk about Redmi first, it just announced a few days ago that the total sales of the K70 series exceeded 2 million units, which is still very good in the mobile phone market that has not been too prosperous recently.
In a certain east, you can see that the number of reviews of Redmi K70 has exceeded 200,000+, which is at the peak of this type of product at present. And the performance of iQOO Neo9 is also amazingly good, with the number of comments exceeding 100,000+, it can be said that this battle was not left behind by Redmi, and followed closely.
The reason why Neo9 is popular is mainly because of the price advantage, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is priced at 2299 yuan, who competes.
The phone is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor, LPDDR5X memory, UFS4.0 storage, and a self-developed gaming chip Q1 to supplement the frame rate, increase the resolution, reduce latency, and improve the gaming experience. Antutu can reach 1.71 million points.
The screen is 6.78 inches, LTPO 1-144Hz intelligent dynamic high brush, 2800×1260 pixels, 1400nit global excitation brightness.
It is equipped with a 6043 mm² VC vapor chamber. There is 120W fast charging, 5160mAh battery. In addition, infrared remote control, stereo double yang, Flicker sensor, and linear motor are also available.
In terms of photography, the main camera IMX920, 50 million pixels, 1/1.49 inch, supports OIS image stabilization, and 8 million pixels ultra-wide angle. The middle frame is made of plastic, and the back shell is available in glass and plain leather, with a glass version of 196 grams and a plain leather version of 190 grams.
Its 12+256GB version is 2299 yuan, 16+256GB version is 2499 yuan, 16+512GB version is 2799 yuan, and 16GB+1TB version is 3199 yuan.
Compared with Redmi K70, this uses a plastic frame, so the texture is insufficient, but it is also true that it is cheaper by 200 yuan. And the K70 has been quite successful, considering the feelings of existing users, it is impossible to significantly reduce the price, so there is still a lot of room for the low-priced iQOO Neo9.
Speaking of Neo9, we can't fail to mention the real me, the real me GT5 was launched at the end of August 23, much earlier than the opponents, but the emphasis is on fast charging, and the result is priced higher, starting at 2999 yuan, although it has now dropped to 2599 yuan, but it is still expensive. This also shows that in the market within 3000 yuan, don't give users too high a configuration, after all, it will increase the cost.
Let's also take a look at the configuration of the realme GT5, which uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor, as well as the super frame independent display chip X7, which is equipped with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage.
The screen is 6.74 inches, 2772x1240 pixels, 144Hz high brush, global default maximum brightness of 500nit, local peak up to 1400nit, 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.
In terms of photography, it is equipped with IMX890 ultra-large bottom sensor + HyperShot 2.0 super light and shadow engine + natural portrait bokeh engine, the main camera has OIS image stabilization, and there are 8 million ultra-wide angles and 2 million macros. The back cover is an integrated full-coverage hot forging process, and the front is equipped with a 16 million pixel camera.
It has independent Bluetooth antennas, 4 WiFi antennas, supports WiFi 7, and under-screen fingerprints, X-axis linear motors, and Dolby Atmos dual speakers. 5240mAh battery, 150W fast charging, weight 205 grams.
Several successful experiences have proved that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is a good magic weapon, whoever pays the low price can win, users at this price strive to be streamlined, CPU, memory, storage specifications are in place, heat dissipation is in place, and the screen is stable, there will be many people who will consider it. However, there is also a market capacity problem, this user group may buy everything that should be bought after the K70 and Neo9 harvest, and others may also catch up with a late set when they come again.
