IQOO’s Neo family has grown by one member today, with the official launch of Neo6 SE in China, after weeks of leaks, rumors and teasers. The iQOO Neo6 SE is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 SoC, and that’s literally the only difference between it and the non-SE iQOO Neo6, which was unveiled and released last month.
However, the rest of the package is nothing to scoff at. For people who aren’t looking for the best possible performance (which would be where the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset in the Neo6 shines), using an older chip in the 870 results in a substantial price differential.
While the Neo6 starts at CNY 2,799 ($ 419) with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the Neo6 SE with the same amount of memory and storage costs just CNY 1,999 ($ 299). The 8/256 GB model is priced at CNY 2,299 ($ 344), compared to CNY 2,999 ($ 449) for the similarly spec’d Neo6, and the top-of-the-line version with 12GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage costs CNY 2,499 ($ 374) versus CNY 2,499 ($ 374). CNY 3,299 ($ 494) for the Neo6.
To recap, the Neo6 SE, like the Neo6, has a 6.62-inch 1080×2400 AMOLED touchscreen with 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,300 nits of brightness, a triple rear camera system with a 64MP main sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide and 2MP portrait camera, a 16MP selfie snapper, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and a 4,700mAh battery with 80W fast charging support.
Works with Android 12 with OriginOS Ocean on top. The iQOO Neo6 SE is available for order in China today in blue, orange and gradient blue and will be released on May 11th. It is unclear when or if it could be offered outside of China.
