Vivo iQOO Neo3 smartphone review with key features

Now the competition between Chinese sub-brands has increased so much that sub-brands of sub-brands have started to appear. According to this principle, iQOO with the Neo3 model separated from Vivo. The smartphone looks very original and is capable of boasting extremely tempting characteristics. So, it can be called a pretty strong competitor, especially considering the presence of 5G.

The world learned about the model as a gaming gadget for an affordable price. Moreover, the device is equipped with a flagship processor and an ultra-smooth display, which can be called a very striking factor when considering the cost. Nevertheless, all these parameters pale in comparison to the poor sounding. However, here, too, the manufacturer was able to surprise users.

As a result, it turned out to be a very good option, but, as a rule, it cannot do without cons. SD cards are not supported and the iQOO UI is still incomplete. To some, such nuances may seem like weighty arguments in favor of giving preference to another smartphone, but the presence of 5G and the sixth generation of Wi-Fi (ax) adds a couple of points towards the Vivo iQOO Neo3. Simply put, the whole model deserves a closer look at it.

Characteristics table

Appearance

The external design of the device can be safely called unusual. This was facilitated, first of all, by the non-standard location of the front camera, which was located not on the left side of the crane, but on the right. You can find insignificant margins at the bottom and top, but you cannot call a frameless screen. The rear camera was placed on the left side of the rear panel and surrounded by a vertical frame. The fingerprint scanner is built into the lock button, and the other control keys are located on the right side. The response of the scanner can be called quick, and no failures were found. In addition, such a decision regarding the placement of technology can be called really reasonable, since this greatly simplifies the work with the device.

Screen

The novelty has a 6.44-inch matrix made using Super AMOLED technology. Surprisingly, the front camera is located in the right corner of the screen, and not in the left, as the user is used to seeing. The large diagonal makes it possible to interact with various types of content, including watching videos and surfing the Internet. Separately, you should focus on the fact that playing on this smartphone is much more convenient than on any other. Thanks to the optimal color rendering, the phone boasts a large supply of brightness and a wide viewing angle. Support for various color ranges makes the experience incredibly enjoyable.

Case decoration

The frame of the smartphone is made of aluminum. Gorilla Glass 6 acts as a screen cover. Moreover, there are no roundings at the ends of the display here, which is an advantage in terms of shock resistance. Gorilla Glass 6 also covers the back. The display bezels are practically absent, but the chin is much more noticeable.

The color scheme of the model is presented in 3 variants: Volcano Orange, Tornado Black, Quantum Silver.

Memory sizes and functionality

Thanks to an eight-core processor and a high-quality graphics accelerator, overheating and throttling are completely eliminated. The advanced cooling system greatly enhances the functionality of the phone. Thus, the processor temperature is automatically reduced by 12 degrees. This approach allows you to play "heavy" games for a long time, hands, like the smartphone itself, will not heat up, which is undoubtedly a plus.

The top-end Snapdragon 865 processor, which is responsible for the configuration of the device, will be useful for both gaming and improving the quality of pictures. The installed graphics core, coupled with a lot of RAM, has become a progressive solution. And large amounts of internal memory have become a good addition for the overall speedup of the system as a whole. Judging by modern standards, the phone has a lot of memory, nevertheless it could have been more. Expanding the drive is impossible, but slots for two SIM cards are provided.

Available communications

Speaking of communications, it should be noted that the model has all the functions and additions that a modern smartphone needs. All systems have been updated to the latest version, but some unpleasant nuances were also found. For example, there are no dual-band GPS and a Type-C port with USB 3.1 support. However, if you think logically, then the conclusion suggests itself that the manufacturer wanted to make his product as affordable as possible (in terms of cost), and the introduction of this type of communication would lead to a significant increase in cost. Special connoisseurs have the opportunity to acquire a version that supports the fifth generation mobile network. But judging objectively, in Russia such delights remain unclaimed.

Sound quality

The model has two built-in speakers with large sound chambers, which will significantly increase the volume.As a result, sound effects from games or movies will have a stereo effect, so that the user can better immerse themselves in what is happening on the screen. And to provide powerful sound without distortion, the phone is equipped with a discrete Hi-Fi amplifier. Thus, the new product outperforms even more expensive gadgets for gaming in terms of its performance, and occupies a leading position in its price segment.

Main and front cameras

Technically, the photo system is very balanced. The main module consists of three sensors, and the resolution was 48 megapixels, which can be called a standard indicator for this year, so there is no reason to be surprised here. The front camera is also lined with the standard, because its resolution was 16 megapixels. FHD video recording is allowed. Objectively speaking, the new product does not stand out with its cameras.

Battery capacity

The manufacturer promises that its product will function within two days from the moment it is fully charged. The model is equipped with a 4400 mAh battery. Fast charging is also supported. It was she who attracted the main attention of the audience, because its power was already 55 watts. The included charger can fully charge the device in less than an hour.

In custody

The first sales of new items began in March on the foreign market. But when to wait for the release on sales in Russia is unknown. The phone is presented in three configurations, where the price of the latter (12/256 GB) exceeds 40 thousand rubles. For such indicators, the cost cannot be called high.

• Nice design;
• High quality coating;
• Affordable cost;
• Color variety;
• 3 configurations;
• 5th generation network support;
• Powerful system;
• Fast charging support;
• Large amounts of memory;

And modern data transfer protocols will make the device as useful as possible for business purposes. Thus, the smartphone is multifunctional and will be useful in any area of ​​life.
