However, since the Neo 7 Pro is reported to be the rebadged version of the China-specific Neo 7 Racing, some specs are expected to make it on the global variant.

iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G: Expected specs, price, and more
The biggest upgrade on the Pro variant of iQOO Neo 7 will be the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. The current version employs MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC under the hood. Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 came out towards the end of 2022 and put up impressive benchmark numbers along with improved thermal management.
The iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G will get a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1500 nits of peak brightness. This display will support HDR10+ as well. The camera panel at the back gets an upgrade as well. The Pro variant will feature an 8MP ultrawide lens instead of the 2MP depth sensor on the regular variant. It will also get a 50MP primary camera with OIS. The 2MP macro lens will be retained from the regular version. Up front, the Neo 7 Pro will feature a 16MP selfie camera housed in a punch-hole cutout.
As expected, the OS duties on iQOO Neo 7 Pro will be handled by Android 13 with Funtouch 13 skinned on top of it. The smartphone will get a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. When powered by a fast charger, the smartphone can reach 50% charge in under 10 minutes and fully juice up within 25 minutes.
There won’t be any significant changes in terms of design. The smartphone will retain the signature Neo series look. The rear cameras will be housed in a square camera island and the shimmering back panel will change colours on exposure to sunlight. A glass back panel seems unlikely on iQOO Neo 7 Pro.

More details are to be awaited as we get closer to the launch date. The smartphone is expected to cost around Rs 35,000 in India. iQOO may also offer some additional bank discounts to bring the introductory price down. In this price range, iQOO Neo 7 Pro will rival the likes of Samsung Galaxy A54, OnePlus 10R, Vivo V27, and more. The smartphone will be sold exclusively through Amazon.
