How iQOO Neo 7 Pro will fare against OnePlus 11R
iQOO will introduce the Neo 7 Pro in the Indian market on July 4. Earlier today, the brand confirmed that the phone will use Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, which puts it on par with the flagship-killer OnePlus 11R. Let's have a quick comparison between them to check if Neo 7 Pro is worth waiting for, or should you get the 11R.
OnePlus 11R is equipped with an Alert Slider
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro is touted to be a rebranded China-specific Neo 7 Racing Edition which offers a centrally-aligned punch-hole cut-out, and an in-display fingerprint scanner, similar to OnePlus 11R. However, the latter also gets an Alert Slider. The Neo 7 Pro will be marginally slimmer (8.5mm v/s 8.7mm) and lighter (197g v/s 204g) than the 11R.
iQOO Neo 7 Pro will have a brighter display
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro will sport a 6.78-inch Full-HD+ E5 AMOLED screen, whereas OnePlus 11R has a 6.74-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display. The Neo 7 Pro will support up to 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and 360Hz touch response rate, similar to 11R. However, it'll get a marginally brighter (1,500-nits v/s 1,450-nits) screen than the OnePlus model.
Neo 7 Pro will share camera arrangement with the 11R
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro will feature a 50MP (OIS) primary, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro lens, along with an LED flash. Up front, it will feature a 16MP camera. A similar front and rear camera arrangement is seen on OnePlus 11R too.
The OnePlus 11R offers more RAM
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro will be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, akin to OnePlus 11R. As per leaker Mukul Sharma, the iQOO model will be offered in 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB configurations. Contrarily, the 11R comes in 8GB/128GB and 16GB/256GB trims. The Neo 7 Pro will house a 5,000mAh battery similar to 11R, but with faster (120W v/s 100W) charging.
iQOO Neo 7 Pro: Price and availability
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro may debut at around Rs. 35,000 for its base 8GB/128GB variant, making it cheaper than the OnePlus 11R, which costs Rs. 39,999 for the same configuration. The device will launch on July 4 in Dark Storm and Fearless Flame colors.
Should you wait for the iQOO Neo 7 Pro?
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro will be a solid competitor against the OnePlus 11R. In addition to being more reasonably priced, it'll also have new-age connectivity standards, a dedicated cooling system, dual X-axis linear motors for strong and crisp haptics, and a dedicated chipset for graphics enhancements. If you're planning to get 11R, wait till the Neo 7 Pro's pricing is revealed.
