Aside from the iQOO 11 series, the brand also announced the more affordable Neo7 SE, which also debuts the much-awaited Dimensity 8200.
The new MediaTek chip is based on a 4nm process and utilizes a 1/3/4 core configuration that consists of a Cortex-A78 prime core running at 3.1Ghz, three Cortex-A78 performance cores running at 3.0Ghz, and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores running at 2.0Ghz. Aside from a different core configuration, the Dimensity 8200 can support up to 320-megapixel cameras.
As for the phone itself, it is physically bigger with its 6.78 display, which allows it to have a bigger 5000mAh battery inside that supports 120w charging. The downside, however, is that you lose the ultra-wide-angle camera and only get a macro camera instead.
