There is also an instant discount of Rs 1,000 for ICICI and HDFC debit and credit card users, bringing down its price to 26,999 and Rs 30,999.
This is currently the lowest price for the iQOO Neo 7 in India.

Should you buy the iQOO Neo 7?

As per our review, the smartphone has a good camera, superfast 120W charging, solid performance and more. However, it does mention that it has a rather bland design. But, overall, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro is a high-performance device with well-tailored gaming features and can attract mobile gaming enthusiasts.

The company also recently launched the iQOO Z7 Pro 5G in India, which starts at Rs 23,999. The smartphone has been launched with a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, MediaTek Dimensity 7200 5G SoC, 4,600mAh battery with 66W fast charging technology, a 64MP dual camera setup, 16MP front camera and much more.

The iQOO Neo 7 has a bigger battery and faster charging on paper than the newer iQOO Z7 Pro. It also comes with triple cameras, compared to two lenses on the rear for the Z7 Pro. Though it’s unfair to compare the two devices since iQOO launched the Z7 Pro in a lower price segment, the price cut on the Neo 7 brings down the price difference between the two. So if you’re willing to invest an additional Rs 4,000, the iQOO Neo 7 does give you a better spec sheet. However, we anticipate a greater discount on the phone during the upcoming festival season sales, so we’d advise you to wait just a few more days.
