vivo iQOO Neo 7

The vivo iQOO Neo 7 is a solid gaming phone that also delivers a good overall experience in various departments. Powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 8200 chip, it's a beast of a device that offers exceptional performance. The camera setup may seem basic with a single 64MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth camera, but it takes great photos for its class, especially in bright conditions. The battery life is impressive, lasting around seven to eight hours under normal usage, and the fast charging speed of up to 120W makes it convenient to top up. The display is decent, with good color accuracy, although some users may find the warm color tone a bit off-putting. While the camera and speakers are not the strongest aspects of this phone, they're still serviceable. The ultrawide-angle camera's absence is particularly noticeable for those who frequently use it to capture street or landscape photography. Similarly, the speaker output could be improved, with mid and high frequencies lacking detail and clarity. In terms of competition, we can expect exciting new products like the Xiaomi 13 Lite, OnePlus Note 3, and Samsung Galaxy A54 to arrive in the market soon. These devices might not match the iQOO Neo 7's performance but could deliver better value overall, making it a slight miss for this device. Overall, the vivo iQOO Neo 7 is a good option for those looking for a reliable phone under ₹30,000 that can handle gaming and everyday tasks with ease. However, it falls short of perfection due to its basic camera setup and average speakers. With some minor tweaks, it could have been an outstanding device.

Oppo K12 Plus

The Oppo K12 Plus is a mid-range 5G phone that boasts a fast refresh rate AMOLED display and a powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. With a 50MP dual camera and lightweight design, this phone promises a seamless multimedia experience. The device also features a 6.7-inch screen, 120Hz refresh rate, and dual stereo speakers. We'll dive deeper into the phone's performance, camera quality, and gaming capabilities in our review, so stay tuned!
