Chinese electronics behemoth BBK Group’s smartphone brand iQOO is all set to launch its Neo 3 5G smartphone on April 23, according to the announcement made by the company today on Chinese social media website, Weibo. In the post, iQOO has also highlighted that the smartphone will pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, support 5G, and have UFS 3.1 storage – just like the iQOO 3 smartphones launched in February this year. However, unlike the older phones from the company, the new iQOO Neo 3 5G is confirmed to come with a 144Hz display.

This new announcement on Weibo comes days after iQOO confirmed that the company has incorporated a new 3 + 2 strategy for its upcoming iQoo phone. Although it was not made clear at the time what ‘3 + 2’ meant, a tipster had claimed that the ‘3’ denotes the smartphone’s processor, display refresh rate, and storage – which is now confirmed. Meanwhile, it was also added that the ‘2’ stood for a 4,500mAh battery with a 44W fast charging option which is yet to be announced by iQOO.
Apart from this, there is little else that’s been made official about the device. It is also tipped to come with a 6.6-inch FHD+ display and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera and 6GB of RAM with 128GB storage.
For cameras, the iQOO Neo 3 could get a quad-camera set-up which includes a 48-megapixel main sensor sat next to a 13-megapixel telephoto unit with 10x Zoom, a 13-megapixel super-wide-angle lens with 120-degree FoV and a 2-megapixel macro and bokeh camera. There is also a 16MP front camera. Other features of the phone could include the inclusion of Monster Touch Buttons and 4D Game Vibration’ features, which were introduced with iQOO 3.
According to the company, the device is powered by a 4,440mAh battery and comes with 55W Super FlashCharge Technology, which can charge around 50 percent battery in 15 minutes.
