Design and Display
As for the design, the iQOO Neo 5 S continues the cool design style of the iQOO Neo family. The rear camera module adopts a triple camera design with the sensors stacked vertically at the top left corner o the back panel, housed in a rectangular module.
The iQOO Neo 5 S comes with a 6.62-inch LCD screen with a hole punch opening at the front that houses the 16MP selfie shooter. The display supports a 120Hz high refresh rate, 100% coverage of P3 color gamut, 16,000-level brightness adjustment, and has HDR10+, Eye Care Display, and Seamless certification.
Internals
As stated earlier, the flagship model is powered by a Snapdragon 888 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM options of 8GB and 12GB. There is also 128GB / 256GB UFS 3.1 flash storage onboard. The premium smartphone is said to come with an independent display chip Pro, which can share half of the rendering work for the GPU during gaming sessions while ensuring a high-frame gaming experience and reducing power consumption. Apart from saving power, this allows the phone to run smoothly during gaming.
With the support of this independent display chip Pro, it brings a unique MEMC motion calculation and compensation technology. Through the frame insertion technology, the low frame game can also be increased to 120 frames, and it can also ensure a long-term stable high frame rate picture. Official data shows that playing “Honor of Kings” can run for 2 hours in a stable frame while playing at 120 frames.
Furthermore, the brightness adjustment algorithm of the independent display chip Pro, with a light sensor, brings a more refined screen brightness adjustment function with up to 16,000 gear dimming levels.
In order to better release the performance of the Snapdragon 888 chipset, the iQOO Neo 5 S is touted to be the first smartphone to launch with a high-conductivity rare earth heat dissipation with an extremely high thermal conductivity. The rare earth elements cover up to 89.4% of the mobile phone space. It is equipped with large-area graphite plates and liquid-cooled plates.
