iQOO Neo7 Racing Edition Launches with SD 8+ Gen 1 and Super-Fast Charging

The original iQOO Neo7, which featured a Dimensity 9000+, was released in October. It was followed by the Neo7 SE, which included a Dimensity 8200. The two aforementioned phones are now joined by iQOO Neo7 Racing Edition, which houses a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

However, there aren’t many differences between this and the original Neo7, other than the chipset and the pricing.
