The vivo iQOO Neo8 128GB is Vivo's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.78 inches, 111.0 cm2 (~87.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5000 mAh battery. At AED 2,000 in the UAE and ₹14,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The vivo iQOO Neo8 excels with its 120W wired charging—reaching 50% in 9 minutes—and a 144Hz AMOLED display with 1300-nit peak brightness, delivering buttery smoothness and vivid HDR visuals. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip ensures sustained high-frame gaming, while the 50MP main sensor with OIS captures stable, detailed shots in low light. This phone targets competitive mobile gamers who demand rapid reloads, high refresh rates, and zero charging anxiety during long sessions. Its weakness? Thermals under prolonged 144Hz gaming—performance throttles after 25 minutes of intense use. In UAE at AED 2000, it’s competitive because no other phone under AED 2200 offers 120W charging and a 144Hz AMOLED panel. In India at ₹14999, it’s a strong buy—matching flagship charging and display tech at a mid-range price, though the plastic frame and lack of IP rating may deter those seeking premium build.
