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 begun to appear. According to this principle, iQOO with the Neo3 model separated from Vivo. The smartphone looks very original and is able to boast of extremely attractive 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 at an affordable price. Moreover, the device is equipped with a flagship processor and an ultra-smooth display, which can be called a very impressive factor when considering the cost. Nevertheless, all these parameters fade against the background of poor sound. However, here the manufacturer was able to surprise users.

As a result, it turned out to be a very good option, but, as a rule, it can not do without minuses. SD cards are not supported, and the iQOO UI shell is still unfinished.Some of these 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 model entirely deserves a more detailed acquaintance with it.

Characteristic table

Appearance

The external design of the device can safely be called unusual. This was facilitated, first of all, by the non-standard location of the front camera, which is located not on the left side of the crane, but on the right. You can find slight margins at the bottom and top, but you can’t call the screen frameless. 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 reaction of the scanner can be called fast, and no failures were found.In addition, such a decision regarding the placement of technology can be called really reasonable, because. this greatly simplifies the work with the device.

Screen

The novelty has a 6.44-inch matrix, made using Super AMOLED technology. Surprising is the fact that the front camera is located in the right corner of the screen, and not in the left, as the user is used to seeing. A 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 optimal color reproduction, the phone boasts a large margin of brightness and a wide viewing angle. Support for different color ranges makes the process of using it incredibly enjoyable.

Case design

The frame of the smartphone is made of aluminum. Gorilla Glass 6 acts as a screen coating. Moreover, there are no rounding of the ends of the display here, which is an advantage when it comes to impact resistance. Gorilla Glass 6 also covers the back. The display bezels are practically absent, but the chin is much more noticeable.

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

Memory sizes and functionality

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

The top processor Snapdragon 865, which is responsible for the configuration of the device, will be useful both for gaming and for improving the quality of images. The installed graphics core, coupled with a large amount of RAM, has become a progressive solution. And large amounts of internal memory have become a good addition to the overall acceleration of the system as a whole. Judging by modern standards, the phone has a lot of memory, but it could have been more. Storage expansion is not possible, but slots for two SIM-cards are provided.

Available communications

Speaking of communications, it should be noted that the model has all the features and additions that a modern smartphone needs. All systems have been updated to the latest version, but some unpleasant nuances have also been found. For example, it lacks 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 (regarding the cost), and the introduction of this type of communication would lead to a significant rise in price. 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 ensure powerful sound without distortion, the phone was equipped with a discrete Hi-Fi amplifier. Thus, the novelty surpasses even more expensive gaming gadgets in its performance, and occupies a leading position in its price segment.

Main and front cameras

Technically, the photosystem 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 need to be surprised here. The front camera is also matched to the standard, because. its resolution was 16 megapixels. FHD video recording is allowed. Objectively speaking, the novelty does not stand out with cameras.

Battery capacity

The manufacturer promises the operation of its product for two days from the moment of a full charge. 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 her power was as much as 55 watts. The charger included in the kit can fully charge the device in less than an hour.

In custody

The first sales of new items began in March in the foreign market. But when to expect to go on sale 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;
• 5G network support;
• Powerful system;
• Support for fast charging;
• Large amounts of memory;
• Optimal color rendering;
• Big screen.

• lack of dual-band GPS and Type-C port with USB 3.1 support;
• SD cards are not supported.

So, referring to the above, we can confidently say that the acquisition of Vivo iQOO Neo3 is a reasonable decision. It will be a particularly good choice for avid gamers. And modern data transfer protocols will make the device as useful as possible for work purposes. Thus, the smartphone is multifunctional and will be useful in any area of ​​life.
