Vivo's sub-brand iQOO is prepping up to introduce its Neo 6 handset in the Indian market. The Chinese tech company has confirmed the arrival of Neo 6 by activating a teaser page but it is yet to officially reveal the launch date. iQOO had introduced the Neo 6 smartphone in China last month. In the latest development, a push notification from Amazon has revealed that the handset will be launched in the country on May 31.
In India, it will be the company's first-ever Neo-branded handset and will focus on providing an all-round flagship experience. However, its specifications will differ from the Chinese model. The Neo 6 aims to disrupt India's competitive upper mid-range segment which is dominated by the likes of Samsung, OnePlus and Xiaomi.
The iQOO Neo 6 bears a 6.62-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) AMOLED screen with an aspect ratio of 20:9, a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and 1,300-nits of peak brightness. The smartphone comes with a centrally-aligned punch-hole cut-out, a noticeable bottom bezel, an under-display fingerprint sensor, and a triple rear camera arrangement.
As far as the cameras are concerned, the iQOO Neo 6 sports triple rear cameras, including a 64MP (f/1.9, OIS) primary sensor, a 12MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth sensor. On the front, it has a 16MP (f/2.0) selfie camera. The smartphone packs a 4,700mAh battery with 80W fast-charging.
In China, the iQOO Neo 6 comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, up to 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. The India-specific model will have a Snapdragon 870 chipset. At the heart, it boots OriginOS Ocean based on Android 12 OS out of the box. Connectivity options include dual-SIMs, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, 5G, and a Type-C port.
The official pricing and availability details of the iQOO Neo 6 in India will be revealed by the Chinese tech company at the time of its launch on May 31. However, it is expected to start at around Rs. 30,000-35,000 for its base variant. It is offered in Black, Blue, and Orange color variants.
