Announcement. Vivo iQOO Neo 7 Racing Edition - inexpensive ultra-fast smartphone

Vivo has announced a smartphone in its native China called iQOO Neo7 竞速版, which roughly translates to Vivo iQOO Neo 7 Racing Edition in English.
The newcomer is very similar to the original Vivo iQOO Neo 7 announced in October. Almost everything is identical, including dimensions and a set of available colors. There are only two differences visible to the naked eye - they replaced the sensor of the main camera and installed a different chipset.
There was a MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset, now there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. That the one that the other is obscenely powerful - for a million points in AnTuTu. In fact, replacing the awl with soap.
Like the ancestor, in addition to the main chipset, something auxiliary called "Pro +" was screwed to the smartphone - a separate graphics chip. They say that thanks to this chip, games will have higher fps and lower power consumption.
Memory. She got bigger. Minimum - 8+256 GB, maximum - 16+512 GB (versus 8+128 GB and 12+512 GB for the original iQOO Neo 7). No memory card support.
AMOLED screen. Large - 6.78 "(111 cm²). Standard resolution - 1080x2400 (388 ppi). Refresh rate - up to 120 Hz. Plus, they promise top brightness, P3 and other goodies.
Batarail standard, 5000 mAh. But the charging speed is close to the record - 120 V. (From zero to 50%, the smartphone should be charged in 8 minutes with the screen off).
Cameras. Here the level is still not flagship. 16 MP front, 50+8+2 MP rear. However, the main camera has optical image stabilization. The camera sensor, as I said, was changed. It was Sony IMX766V (1/1.56", 1µm), became Samsung ISOCELL GN5 (1/1.57", 1µm) - the one that is used, in particular, in < a>Samsung Galaxy S22. So there is every reason to expect very decent photos.
Other. It is expected that there is an NFC module, sixthat Wi-Fi, Type-C. The fingerprint scanner is built into the screen.
Minor troubles include the lack of LTE Band 20.
And about money.
Vivo iQOO Neo 7 Racing Edition will cost ¥2799 (₽28400, $394), ¥2999 (₽30400, $422), ¥3299 (₽33400, $464) and ¥3599 (₽36500 , $507) for the 8+256, 12+256, 16+256, and 16+512GB flavors, respectively. This is 200-300 RMB less than the original Neo 7 with the same amount of memory.
