iQOO is gearing for its second smartphone launch of the year. Hot on the heels of the iQOO 11 flagship, the Vivo spin-off will launch the iQOO Neo 7 in the country in February. More specifically on February 16, 2023. The phone is being billed as the most powerful smartphone, presumably in its segment. It will be sold on Amazon, iQOO has further confirmed.
The iQOO Neo 7 was launched in China last year but speculation is rife that the version coming to India would be closer to the recently unveiled iQOO Neo 7 SE. This could be the case as the iQOO Neo 6 was –also— a rebranded iQOO Neo 6 SE. But we’ll see.
