Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On the evening of October 20, iQOO Neo7 was officially released, equipped with MediaTek Tianji 9000+ processor and Pixelworks independent display chip Pro+, from the initial price of 2699 yuan, officially launched on October 31.

On the launch of Singles Day, iQOO Neo7 is obviously well prepared, so how is the experience of this new machine? Which users are suitable for? Is it worth the starting price of 2699 yuan?

CTOnews.com got this product, in this nearly a week of experience, iQOO Neo7 has also become the author's main machine, and the author as a "light and heavy" mobile game player, what feelings do I have in the process of using iQOO Neo7? Let's follow the evaluation and explore in depth.

The first part: the design iQOO Neo7 provides three colors: geometric black, impression blue and Pop orange. CTOnews.com gets the geometric black version, which is also the most "low-key and stable" of the three colors.

It is said that "geometric black", as far as the look and feel is concerned, this color matching is more similar to dark blue, especially with AG glass rear shell, geometric black in the light appears particularly smart, three-dimensional, but also so lost "dazzling".

Impression Blue, Popper Orange two color matching is the use of plain skin technology, in the color matching training is also particularly "jump", the recognition straight line is full, unforgettable.

In terms of detailed design, iQOO Neo7 continues Neo6's iconic design elements, including pixel characters, while camera module design uses more geometric elements. This kind of design, iQOO calls it "futuristic retro".

Careful taste, there is indeed a bit of "future retro" flavor, such as the camera module, the use of a relatively "retro"film cloud step" design, very much like Photo Paper. The characters on the cloud steps also use retro pixel characters.

As for "Future", you can also find some clues from the design of the camera. For example, the text specification of the camera is printed on the module lens, but it can only be seen in a certain angle of bright light. For example, the main photo and ultra-wide-angle outer circle, as well as a decorative circle, can only be seen in strong light, after all, mysterious, but also represents the "future."

In terms of screen, the iQOO Neo7 is equipped with a 6.78in Samsung E5 OLED flexible straight screen, slightly punched in the middle, the upper left and right sides of the frame basically narrow to the naked eye, and a slightly wider chin, but the overall screen share control is also very good.

The screen resolution is 2400 × 1080, supporting 120Hz and four-speed changes, local peak brightness of the screen: 1500nit, and supporting HDR10+.

IQOO Neo7 BWH size of 164.81 × 76.90 × 8.50mm, weight of 202g, the leather version is relatively light; the frame is still made of plastic, but the coating is very delicate, not to say, it is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish, which the author thinks is not a notch, after all, iQOO Neo7 texture, feel are not bad, but also as far as possible to reduce the weight of the fuselage.

Other aspects of the design are familiar, including the speaker hole at the bottom, the infrared at the top, the volume power button on the side, and so on.

Finally, the packaging design, is still the family design of iQOO Neo, accessories including 120W charger, data cable, protective housing, pin, manual and warranty card and so on.

IQOO Neo7's 120W charger also uses a C-port design, which must be liked.

The second part: the performance of the measured iQOO Neo7 is equipped with Tianji 9000, and it is also equipped with an independent display chip Pro+. The single-display chip calculates the frame complement to adapt to more mainstream mobile games, while greatly reducing the power consumption and improving the fever frame drop problem. For storage, four versions are available: 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB. The RAM type is 6400Mbps enhanced version and the LPDDR5,ROM type is super version UFS 3.1.

Other hardware configurations include stereoscopic Shuangyang, two X-axis linear motors, full scene NFC, intelligent remote control and so on. CTOnews.com gets the top version of 12+512GB, which can be expanded to 16GB memory with the help of memory fusion technology.

A brief introduction to Tianji 9000 SoC, which is the flagship SoC of the Android camp, which adopts Arm's v9 CPU architecture and TSMC 4nm eight-core technology, the frequency of Cortex-X2 large cores in CPU core architecture is increased to 3.2GHz, there are three Cortex-A710 performance cores with 2.85GHz main frequency and four Cortex-A510 energy efficiency cores, built-in 14MB super-capacity cache combination, and the overall CPU performance is improved by 5%. At the same time, it is equipped with Arm Mali-G710 MC10 graphics processor, which improves the performance by 10%.

From the configuration point of view, the iQOO Neo7 is a proper 2022 flag aircraft specification, let's take a look at the running score of the iQOO Neo7.

As shown in the above picture, the comprehensive score of iQOO Neo7 an Rabbit reaches 1057223, which is close to that of Snapdragon 8 +.

In the flash performance test, the write speed of iQOO Neo7 has reached 1925MB/s, and the read speed has also reached the top level of 1777MB.

3D Mark, which pays more attention to the theoretical performance of GPU, has a total score of 8639 for iQOO Neo7 in the Wild Life test project, in which the average frame rate is 51.70fps, slightly lower than that of Snapdragon, but this score is also the first echelon performance of Android.

In 3DMark's Wild Life Stress Test project, iQOO Neo7 achieved 71% stability and performed well.

In terms of GeekBench 5 running points, the iQOO Neo7 scored 1350 points in a single core and 4278 points in multiple cores, which is also the highest single core score of all Android flagship phones tested by the author so far. In fact, it is basically the strongest CPU score in the Android camp.

Run three times in a row and get the highest score; the performance training of different models is different. The above running points are only for reference in the third part: the measured part of the game, or the old rules, is still the highest picture quality "original god" for 30 minutes, the test environment is an indoor air-conditioned room of about 22 °C, the game test scene is field running + playing strange, the battle scene accounts for more than 40% of the total game time, and the mobile phone turns on Monster mode.

The image quality of the original god is set as shown in the following figure. The average frame rate of iQOO Neo7 reaches 58.6fps, and the stable frame index is only 1.5 (the lower the better, the more common games < 8). This score is basically the same as that of the iQOO 10 Pro with Snapdragon 8 +. As a comparison, the latter has an average frame rate of 58.7fps and a stable frame index of only 1.6.

During the iQOO Neo7 30-minute frame rate 58.7fps game, iQOO Neo7 showed the level of performance that the flagship machine should have:

In most of the runway scenarios, the frame rate is basically stable at 60fps, while in combat scenarios, the frame rate fluctuates between 55 and 60fps, and the stutter is less visible to the naked eye. Secondly, even after the game time exceeds 30 minutes, the frame rate remains above or below 60fps, and there is no frequency reduction caused by long-time games.

Front and back fever in fact, in the "original God" game, the fever of iQOO Neo7 is not serious, the highest temperature appears in the camera area of the fuselage, the feel is warm, of course, this is also related to the current winter weather. But as far as experience is concerned, some of the flagship "fevers" in the past do not exist on iQOO Neo7.

Let's take another look at the core map:

As shown in the figure below, in the 30-minute game, iQOO Neo7's Cortex-X2 super-core fluctuates from 1.8Ghz-1.2Gzh to 1.8Ghz-1.2Gzh and remains on 1.8Ghz most of the time; Cortex-A710 has three cores, which are also maintained around 1.8Ghz, but occasionally drops to 1.0GHz; in addition, the Cortex-A510 energy efficiency core is maintained under 1.0Ghz most of the time. Judging from this, in the "original God" game, the four big cores (1x 3) are relatively excited, although they do not run with all their strength, but they are basically in a state of combat all the time.

IQOO Neo7 original spirit 30 minutes of core fluctuations and then take a look at the power performance.

In the original God game, the iQOO Neo7 achieves 5.96W (dual cell: 2981mW*2) and the frame energy consumption is 101.8mW, which is also much better than the Snapdragon 8 flagship machine (basically above 6W or even 7W); similar to the overall performance of Snapdragon 8 +.

IQOO Neo7's built-in independent display chip Pro+, can make the phone's game experience to new heights, such as increased frame rate, high frame low power consumption and game vision enhancement, which can significantly improve the game perception experience.

Take the "original God" game as an example, after the shortcut tool is marked in the sidebar, you can turn on the "game frame insertion" function, and provide two options to increase the frame rate and optimize the power consumption. "increase the frame rate" is the original 60-frame game. Run at a higher frame rate by inserting frames.

This feature is very suitable for some games that do not have high frame rate mode, such as "original God" and "call of Duty Mobile". After being turned on, you can also enjoy the high frame experience above 90 frames to a certain extent.

"optimize power consumption" is also a very practical feature, such as "Yuan Shen" this kind of game, eat configuration very much, long-time games can not avoid fever, high power consumption and other problems, at this time, after turning on "optimize power consumption", the GPU of the phone only needs to render 45 frames, and then on the basis of 45 frames through the independent display chip Pro + insert double frame rate to achieve similar 90 frame game effect. Before inserting frames, GPU needs to render 60 frames, while after inserting frames, GPU only needs to render 45 frames. In theory, the power consumption is reduced after frame insertion.

Let's verify this function through the actual measurement.

As shown in the following figure, the other test conditions in the original God game remain unchanged, and when optimized Power consumption is turned on, the power consumption of the iQOO Neo7 is only about 4.98W (2489mW*2), which is much lower than the 5.96W in normal mode.

IQOO Neo7 turns on the comparison before and after the optimization of power consumption, the mobile phone "alone show" is not a gimmick, it can really bring about an improvement in experience, especially for high-power games, it is undoubtedly the icing on the cake. Of course, there is a certain touch delay after opening the "frame insertion" game, but according to the author's actual experience, in games such as "original God", the touch delay is basically negligible.

Game visual enhancement is also a very interesting feature, it is equivalent to adding a filter to the game, it will take advantage of visual differences, so that you can more quickly find enemies hiding in the shadows and shadows.

Many modes have been added to iQOO Neo7's game visual enhancement. Take call of Duty Mobile Game as an example, in addition to "visual tuning", general filters such as dark enhancement, snow blindness, old movies, bright, bright and custom modes have been added, and users can choose or customize their own settings to fix a "physical plug".

In addition, as a designated machine for call of Duty Mobile Games, iQOO Neo7 also adds special "manipulation" setting options, including setting click sensitivity, sliding chirality and micro precision, gyroscope horizontal and vertical sensitivity, etc., so that users can customize the touch effect.

Of course, it takes a long process of trial and error to find the sensitivity that suits you best, but once you find the one that suits you best, there will be another ruthless killer on the battlefield.

Using gyroscopes and sensors, iQOO Neo7 also supports posture control, and users can map keys through different body gestures to achieve multi-dimensional manipulation.

For example, in the "call of Duty Mobile Game", the author sets the "horizontal front pressure" as the cutting gun. During the game, if you press the phone forward, you can easily cut the gun. Don't look at this small function. At the critical moment of the game, it can really "save your life".

Of course, among so many game functions, the author's favorite is "off-screen double pressure control". IQOO Neo7 has two built-in linear motors, one up and down. In the horizontal screen, the left and right areas of the iQOO Neo7 screen support pressing operation. This operation logic is similar to the pressing feeling keys of some game phones. Additional operations are achieved by pressing.

You can map the left and right pressing areas to the corresponding function buttons in the game, so as to achieve the operation of the two dimensions, in the setting, you can also set the corresponding pressing strength, vibration feedback strength, and so on.

This feature is especially suitable for FPS mobile games such as call of Duty Mobile Games. For example, the two actions of opening lens and shooting, in the past, players often need to click on the screen twice to complete the whole shooting step, but with the pressure button, you can map the sense of pressure on the "open lens" button. At this time, even when you are "rubbing the screen", press your finger down to complete the work of "opening the lens".

Familiar with this set of operations, experience and efficiency can be comparable to the "six fingers Dafa" of professional players.

Even if you don't borrow the handle, you don't have to practice the four-finger Dafa, and you can operate with a "sense of pressure". The performance of the flagship mobile phone is basically the same, how to make the mobile phone's game experience stand out? These additional features like iQOO Neo7 are examples for competitors to learn from. For players, these can be called "physical plug-in" features have really brought a huge upgrade of the game experience, it is really difficult to return.

Here the author says one more word. If you are an avid "call of Duty Mobile Game" player and a Blue Factory mobile phone user, then I strongly recommend that you buy iQOO Lightning handle 2, the real feel of physical buttons, and more than 12 buttons that can be mapped, the game is really much more enjoyable than "rubbing Glass", which is the secret that I can play the ranked for two consecutive seasons.

The author is not modest, the god of war is really not skilled, it all depends on these "physical plug-ins" ah!

Part IV: charging actual charging part, iQOO Neo7 upgraded 120W fast charging, in the setting to turn on the "extreme speed mode", you can enjoy 120W super fast charging.

According to officials, in this mode, iQOO Neo7's 5000mAh battery can be charged from 1% to 50%, from 1% to 100% as fast as 9 minutes, and only 25 minutes and 30 seconds to turn on the extreme mode.

CTOnews.com also carries on the charging measurement, and records the charging power through POWER-Z.

As shown in the figure above, turn off the screen charging from 1% of the battery:

1 minute, charge to 9%, power up to about 106W

3 minutes, charge to 20%, the power is about 76W

5 minutes, charge to 31%, the power is about 77W

10 minutes, charge to 56%, and the power is about 48W.

15 minutes, charge to 74%, the power is about 49W

20 minutes, charge to 90%, and the power is still about 36W.

24 minutes, charging to 100%, when the power display is about 0.6W, the system prompts that the charging has been completed.

CTOnews.com measured with the help of Power-Z, in the charging process, iQOO Neo7 can initially achieve an amazing peak power of close to 110W, and then hover around 77W; while the charge is more than 50%, it still maintains nearly 50W of power.

It takes only about 24 minutes for iQOO Neo7 to go from 1% to full, even faster than the official 25 minutes. Moreover, after charging to 100%, it is indicated that the charging of the system has been completed in a few seconds, so the trickle time is very short, and the UI shows that there is no moisture at all.

Part V: image experience image part, iQOO Neo7 main photo for 5000 megapixels, Sony IMX766V, but also with optical anti-shake, the old tradition of Blue Factory. As for the other two, one is 8 million ultra-wide angle and the other is 2 million "tactical" macro. This gear uses IMX766V with optical anti-shake, as well as the decentralization of Blue Factory's flagship image algorithm, and the image capability of iQOO Neo7 master photography is at least the flagship level.

As for the other two cameras, at this moment is the existence of green leaves. However, the author agrees with this "trade-off method" and spends all the cost saved on this main shot, instead of doing "both rain and dew", but the lens that is most frequently used every day must be the best at the same level.

Actual sample photo:

Main photo: indoors during the day

Main photo: indoors during the day

Main photo: outside during the day

Main photo: outside during the day

Ultra-wide angle: outdoor during the day

Ultra-wide angle: outdoor during the day

Ultra-wide angle: the daytime indoor IMX766V sensor, exclusively customized by vivo and Sony, measures 1.56 inches and has 5000 megapixels with a pixel size of 2 μ m after four-in-one, which is also the same main photo taken by Blue Factory vivo X70 Pro. In the environment with plenty of light during the day, the photos in iQOO Neo7 standard mode are exposed accurately, the picture is transparent and clean, the color restoration tends to be cold, brick walls and green plants are more bright than in reality, which is also the blue factory's consistent "memory color".

In addition, the f / 1.88 aperture, as well as the optical anti-shake blessing, iQOO Neo7 main shot in some close-up on the virtual, the performance is also quite outstanding, sharpening is very strong, very textured.

This ultra-wide-angle author does not have much expectation, but its performance is a bit unexpected. Although there are some deficiencies in the analytical power of 8 million, the first look is quite good as long as it is not magnified. Including exposure, color and the dynamic range of the picture, used to post moments, but also can circle a lot of like level. The only thing that needs to be optimized is that there is still a certain difference between the color and the main photo, but considering this price, it is not a problem.

In the night environment, IMX766V and optical anti-shake once again show full charm. As shown in the following picture, the night picture in the frame is obviously darker, but after shooting in night scene mode, the phone still produces clear and bright details that can withstand magnification, there is no noise in the sky, and the purity of the sample picture is relatively high.

Main photo: outdoor at night in addition, thanks to the optical anti-shake blessing, the night iQOO Neo7 film rate is also very high, and the night scene mode handheld time is basically less than 2 seconds, the photo experience is quite added.

Written in the end: after a period of in-depth experience, the author thinks that iQOO Neo7 will be a very competitive product among a large number of mid-range mobile phones. One of its core advantages is the comprehensive performance of omnipotence, including charging, imaging, screen, performance and other aspects. Second, Tianji 9000 + with the chip Pro+, and double pressure, posture operation and other excellent game experience, and even the iQOO Neo7 in the game experience competitiveness, no less than any game phone on the market.

I have to admit that this is a mid-range flagship that makes people have a strong desire to change planes in this Node of Singles Day.

Finally, let's go back to the question at the beginning of the article, and now we can give a simple answer:

If you have a replacement plan and a budget of less than 3K, then iQOO Neo7 is the right choice; if you are a heavy fan of mobile games, but don't like the grandiose design and weight of the game phone, then iQOO Neo7 is also a suitable choice.
