Editorial report

vivo iQOO Neo3 5G 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The vivo iQOO Neo3 5G suits buyers who want a fast display and strong performance; the trade-off is that it is heavier than average for phones of its time. Its 6.57-inch IPS LCD display runs at 144 Hz, a refresh rate among the best of its time, while its 402 ppi density is better than most. HDR10 and Gorilla Glass are also included.

Its AnTuTu result of 602,183 is better than that of most phones of its time, and its performance and hardware are among the best. The Snapdragon 865 5G comes with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The 4,500 mAh battery is above average, and 44 W charging is faster than on most phones of its time. The camera also stands above average: its 48 MP main sensor measures 1/2 inch and has an f/1.8 aperture, both average specifications. An ultrawide camera and a macro camera round out the rear setup.

Connectivity and the combined design and display showing are better than most phones of its time. The phone supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and NFC, and includes a 3.5 mm audio jack. At 198.1 g, it is heavier than average. Its NeoScore of 5.9 makes it a fit for buyers who put display smoothness, processing performance and broad connectivity ahead of a lighter phone.
