iQOO has made performance a central tenet of its business philosophy, and the Neo series exemplifies this tenet at price points that are somewhat more accessible to consumers. You may recall that earlier this year, iQOO debuted the Neo7 (review), and after doing an extensive test on it, I concluded that it was the quickest phone available in its price range.
On paper, the Pro model features some specifications that are aimed toward processing prowess and mobile gaming. This is something that can be mentioned about the same thing regarding the model. Is there anything else that the Neo7 Pro can do for me? This evaluation ought to make it very obvious to you whether or not the handheld device is deserving of your consideration.

iQOO Neo 7 Pro: Design and Build
When it comes to its appearance, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro is quite comparable to its more youthful sibling, the iQOO Neo 7. A similar form factor may be seen in the smartphone, which has a curved back and a flat screen. We also get the same square-ish dual tone camera module and a comparable hole-punch display that extends all the way to the edges of the screen.
On the other hand, there are some additional quality touches dotted throughout. First and foremost, there is the orange-colored back panel made of vegan leather, which is the only color option. Even though I’m not sure if I like the color, the vegan leather on the back gives it a really high-end sensation when held in the palm. For my taste, the orange is a little bit too vibrant, but the golden undertones here and there go really nicely with the orange color.
iQOO Neo 7 Pro: Display
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro’s screen is almost unchanged from the iQOO Neo 7’s. The 6.78-inch AMOLED display is the main attraction and guarantees a satisfying viewing experience. The screen is 120Hz refresh rate capable and full high definition plus. The refresh rate can be set at either 60 or 120 Hz, at the user’s discretion. Smart Switch is another option available to users, and it allows the refresh rate to be dynamically changed between 60Hz and 120Hz.
Standard, Pro, and Bright color profiles are pre-installed on the iQOO phone. The default setting is Standard, while the most accurate colors are found in Pro mode. In addition, the device is HDR10+ certified, which is required for watching DRM-protected material on services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and others.
iQOO Neo 7 Pro: Cameras
The camera interface is the same as on other Funtouch OS 13 phones. It has a lot of features, like AR stickers, Pro Sports mode, double exposure, dual view, 50MP mode, and more. Even though the phone has a 50MP camera on the back, the end output is only 12.5MP because of pixel binning. The output from the 16MP front-facing camera is the same.
When it comes to the quality of the camera, shots taken during the day are good, and you should turn on the HDR option, which turns on HDR automatically based on the shot, so that the dynamic range is good. It’s easy to get the camera to focus. Compared to the 13MP camera in phones like the iQOO 9T, the 8MP ultra-wide camera is just average.
iQOO Neo 7 Pro: Performance and Software
Which is built on Android 13, runs on the iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G. This combination of software gives you a lot of ways to improve speed and battery life, as well as customize your phone. One can change the look, add lighting effects to notifications, change the color of the UI and app icons, and more. The software also has useful tools like app pinning, weather updates, and an AQI card that make the user experience better as a whole.
But despite all the good things, it’s important to note that the software has a lot of pre-installed apps that slow down the otherwise fast ride. Apps like Netflix, Amazon, Byjus, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and Facebook are included, but it’s easy to take them off if you want to. On the other hand, some iQOO apps, like the browser and the iQOO e-store, come pre-installed and can’t be removed. This makes the user’s power over the device a little less strong.
iQOO Neo 7 Pro: Battery and Charging
The phone has a 5000mAh (average) battery, which is the same as the Neo 7. Thanks to the improvement, it can easily last for a day of heavy use and two days of normal use with 5G enabled and multimedia. With a mix of Wi-Fi and 5G use over about two days, I got close to five and a half hours of computer time. Since the phone supports 120W fast charging, it can charge to 50% in about 10 minutes and to 100% in about 25 minutes.
Final Words
The iQOO Neo7 Pro excels as a gaming phone due to its high performance standards. The sturdy build is perfect for long-term use, and the 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR compatibility are all fantastic visual features. In addition, the Neo7 Pro’s camera arrangement should appeal to buyers. The phone is not lightweight, and its design may seem uninspired when compared to rivals in the same price range. The abundance of unnecessary preloaded software also detracts from the overall usability of the interface.
