Last year, iQOO Neo5 was unique among Snapdragon 870 mobile phones, not only because of its excellent screen and superior OIS anti shake camera, but also because of its unique independent display chip. Through the independent display chip, one frame can be inserted into two frames to obtain a smoother appearance or lower power consumption in the game. Now, the iQOO Neo6 is upgraded from the second flagship last year to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen1, and the independent display chip is upgraded to the independent display chip Pro. Let me first reveal that iQOO Neo6 is one of the coolest Snapdragon 8 Gen1 mobile phones that the author has ever used.
IT Home also got the punk color matching of orange skin in advance. In the next article, the author will show you how iQOO Neo6 successfully tamed dragons. At present, the starting price of iQOO Neo6 8+128G is 2799 yuan, the price of 8+256G is 2999 yuan, and the price of 12+256G is 3299 yuan.
1、 Appearance design
The iQOO Neo6 has undergone considerable changes in appearance and positioning. Compared with the previous generation, this generation is more like a flagship, and even uses plain leather. The color in our hands is punk, which is an orange plain leather. The three circumference is larger than the previous generation, reaching 163.00 * 76.16 * 8.885mm, weighing 193.95g, and the thickness is well controlled.
On the front of the iQOO Neo6 is a 6.62-inch FHD+resolution AMOLED display, which supports a 120Hz refresh rate, Samsung E4 material, with a global maximum brightness of 800nit and a local peak brightness of 1300nit. In addition, this screen uses LTM local color mapping technology to divide the display content into multiple areas. Each area dynamically adjusts the contrast of the display area according to the ambient light and the corresponding display content, so that the appearance will be more comfortable.
The iQOO Neo6 adopts vivo's new family cloud scale camera module design. The first one is a metal lining plate printed with NEO, and the second one is a three camera module.
The frame also uses an orange imitation metal coating, and the side fingerprint has also been upgraded to the front screen fingerprint. Unfortunately, this time the dual speakers are not completely symmetrical, and the upper part is a dual speaker realized through the earpiece.
The charging package included in the package has also been upgraded from the previous generation of 66W to 80W. In addition, the phone case is included in the package.
2、 Hardware performance
The positioning of iQOO Neo6 has been upgraded from sub flagship to flagship, so the configuration also uses the flagship performance iron triangle of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1+LPDDR5+UFS3.1. At the same time, iQOO Neo6 can not only enable the Monster mode unique to iQOO, but also has an extreme performance mode in the developer mode, in which the performance release will be more aggressive. The following tests will also be conducted in this mode.
In GeekBench5, which represents the theoretical performance of the CPU, iQOO Neo6 scored 1235 for a single core and 3647 for a multi-core. The performance is excellent, which conforms to the normal performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen1.
In 3DMark wild life stress, which focuses on GPU performance, iQOO Neo6 scored a maximum of 9591 points and a minimum of 7556 points. This score has nearly doubled compared with the previous generation. The most surprising thing is the stability of 78.8%. Most Snapdragon 8 mobile phones, let alone the stability, can run for 20 minutes. However, Neo6 has such high stability that it seems that it is really hard to heat up.
This is because the iQOO Neo6's heat dissipation module has been upgraded to its stacked rare-earth heat dissipation, with a total heat dissipation area of 46662 square millimeters. The combination of a large area of liquid cooled VC soaking plate is the first in passive heat dissipation.
In terms of storage, iQOO Neo6 uses the memory of LPDDR5 and the flash memory of UFS3.1. Its performance in Android is shown in the figure below.
In Anthare V9, which showed comprehensive performance, iQOO Neo6 scored 1012175 points, performing well, in line with the normal performance of high-performance Snapdragon 8 Gen1 mobile phones.
3、 Game measurement
From the above theoretical data, the performance of iQOO Neo6 is still good. Of course, only the performance is far from enough. Everyone has the same configuration. To open the gap, we need to rely on a unique secret skill - independent display chip Pro. In the game box, we can see that there are two modes, one is to improve the frame rate, and the other is to optimize the power consumption.
Let's first look at improving the frame rate. This option is to lock the game at 60 frames, and then insert a frame between two frames through an independent display chip to achieve an appearance similar to 120 frames. The original Android has not yet adapted 120 frames, and the resolution is generally very low. However, after the iQOO Neo6 is enabled to increase the frame rate, it can stabilize a very smooth appearance for a long time at 810P high resolution. The average frame rate is about 54 frames after 30 minutes of actual measurement in extreme mode, and there is no obvious frame drop in the appearance. This original experience is one of the best.
In this mode, the average power consumption for 30 minutes is 5.6W, and the hottest place is only 41 ℃, which is just a sense of warmth. This temperature control can be called the first echelon among Snapdragon 8 mobile phones.
But the most impressive thing for the author is the optimized power consumption mode. In this mode, it will lock the original frame at 45 frames, and then insert the frame twice through the independent display chip, which is 90 frames. At this time, not only the power consumption is reduced compared with the original 60 frame mode, but also the game appearance is smoother. The average frame rate of the original 30 minutes after the actual test is turned on is a stable full frame, There is no frame drop during the whole process.
Compared with the 60 frame mode, the power consumption is also reduced by about 10%, and the maximum temperature is reduced to 40.2 ℃, which can be said to be smooth, cool and power saving. Therefore, the author personally prefers to choose the optimized power consumption mode for daily play.
Glory of the King is also worth mentioning. As we all know, iQOO has always provided KPL with competition machines. iQOO Neo6 also made in-depth optimization according to KPL's competition standards and players' needs this time, and obtained KPL's competition machine test certification. Stable performance is far from enough. More buttons are needed for ordinary mobile phones. The solution of iQOO Neo6 is to turn the extra keys into screen pressure, which can be triggered by pressing hard. In King Rong Yaozhong, I can flash directly by pressing hard, which saves the time of finger movement. Coupled with the vibration caused by the dual X-axis linear motor, it is both fun and immersive. No wonder it was chosen as the official designated machine of KPL.
The actually measured frame number data is also excellent. iQOO Neo6 supports the highest special effect 120 frame mode of King Glory, and the whole journey is 120 frames after 30 minutes of play.
In addition to the 120 frame adaptation for Glory of the King, Peace Elite also adapts to the 90 frame mode, which is also a stable 90 frame mode throughout the whole process. The game experience is excellent. With the screen pressure sense, press again to open the camera and shoot, without leaving the screen.
Another upgrade this time is the battery, which has been upgraded from 4400mAh to 4700mAh. With the low power consumption of LPDDR5, the endurance performance will be improved to a certain extent. After playing the game for two and a half hours in a row, the power has increased from 77% to 25%, which is a good performance.
Charging has also improved to a certain extent. The 80W fast charge can be charged to half in about 15 minutes, and from 1% to 100% in about 35 minutes, which is consistent with the performance of the current flagship machine.
4、 Imaging system
Although the overall design is game oriented, the main camera of the iQOO Neo6 has not shrunk. It uses a 64 million pixel main camera of the Samsung GW1 and OIS optical anti shake. Last year, the OIS of the iQOO Neo5 stood out from the crowd, and this year is the icing on the cake. In addition, it also uses a 12 million pixel Samsung 3L6 ultra wide-angle camera+2 million pixel black and white camera. It can realize multi focus shooting.
The imaging quality of the main camera in the daytime is very good, the color perception is transparent, and the analytical power is also online.
The distortion control of ultra wide angle is good, and the color is not far from the main camera. This effect shows that vivo's algorithm is really useful.
This ultra wide angle lens can also be used as a macro lens. Compared with the compact macro lens that is several million pixels smaller, this solution has some practical effect.
Conclusion: Dragon training is successful, really
The situation of Snapdragon 8 is just like this. It is almost impossible to completely tame by passive cooling. Only a new way can be found to be the first in a crowd of mobile phones. In my opinion, the solution of iQOO Neo6 is very correct: first, stack heat as much as possible, and then use the independent display chip Pro to give an introduction.
In general, the positioning of iQOO Neo6 is very clear. It is to build a game phone that does not look like a game phone, but actually plays better than anyone else. Compared with the flamboyant design of shoulder keys+RGB+fans, the iQOO Neo6 looks like an ordinary flagship machine. But when you press the screen with two fingers again to enter the game space, the designs of the single chip Pro, the dual finger pressure, the dual X axis motor and so on will make Gamers more powerful.
At present, the starting price of iQOO Neo6 8+128G is 2799 yuan, the price of 8+256G is 2999 yuan, and the price of 12+256G is 3299 yuan. Interested friends can consider it.
