Vivo introduced the iQOO Neo earlier this month as an affordable gaming smartphone for the low budget audiences. Instead of opting for a newer midrange SoC like a Snapdragon 730, Vivo has chosen the last year’s Snapdragon 845 that still rocks solid for today’s standards. The Vivo iQOO Neo has a lot of gaming-related features like its big brother Vivo in. Now seems that the device will get even cheaper since a 4GB RAM variant appeared on TENAA. The lowest offering of the iQOO Neo has 6GB of RAM.
The combination of last year’s flagship SoC with a lower amount of 4GB can make the price to drop even further. Currently, the cheapest variant of iQOO Neo price is CNY1,798 (~$260/€230), and we can expect the new version to explore a pricing territory towards CNY1,500 (~$218/€194). While the amount of storage hasn’t been disclosed, there’s also a possibility of a new 4GB/128GB combo. Users could get a cheaper variant with less RAM, but without a need of sacrificing storage.
