iQOO Neo 7 5G Gaming Test: BGMI, New State Mobile, and More
We played a couple of games during this test to determine whether the phone delivered what the company said during the announcement. As per iQOO, the latest Neo 7 5G can deliver up to 90fps of gameplay in different games like New State Mobile and more. So, in order to test this out, we played BGMI, Apex Legends Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, and PUBG New State Mobile.
BGMI
Starting with the BGMI game, we noticed that the popular battle royale game ran well on Smooth graphics and Extreme frame rate options. The smartphone delivered a constant 60fps count throughout the session; however, we did notice some minor frame drops in a few situations, but it never hampered the overall game experience. We then switched the settings to Normal graphics and Ultra frame rates, and the results were stable. We comfortably got 40fps with this setting, and the game performed well throughout the test. During our 30 minutes of continuous gameplay, we noticed a dip in battery percentage from 100 to 92 per cent.
Apex Legends Mobile
The second game we tried on iQOO Neo 7 5G was Apex Legends Mobile. The phone was able to handle the graphics quite well and gave a consistent performance throughout our gaming session. We put the graphics to Normal and frame rates were set to Ultra for this test. During the gameplay, we noticed that the game comfortably delivered a constant 60fps count without much lag or stutter. We played the game for almost 1 hour and 30 minutes, and the battery dipped to 71 per cent this time.
New State Mobile and Call of Duty Mobile
The next game we tried on the iQOO Neo 7 was the New State Mobile. The game currently supports 90fps mode, which makes it an ideal game to check the claimed support. To our surprise, the New State Mobile did run smoothly at 90fps, and we didn’t notice much lag or stutter. Coming to Call of Duty Mobile, we played the game on Low graphics and Max frame rates settings. The overall experience was smooth, and we never faced much lag in this setting.
Conclusion
The iQOO Neo 7 5G delivered some great gaming experience throughout our 2 hours of gameplay test. The phone was able to deliver a stable 60fps count in almost all the games that we played during our gaming test, which is a great thing. However, what impressed us was the fact that the phone was able to maintain a decent temperature of 31 degrees celsius to 29 degrees celsius throughout the whole testing phase, which speaks of its heat dissipation capabilities. Overall, the iQOO Neo 7 can be considered as a gaming-centric smartphone that will not disappoint you in the long run.
