vivo will officially introduce the iQOO Neo5 on March 16

Reports from last week suggested a phone called vivo iQOO Neo5 is coming next month, and today we have official confirmation. The vivo sub-brand revealed the launch will take place on March 16.

This announcement is also the first time iQOO is acknowledging the existence of the phone - so far it has only appeared in leaks. Rumors suggest the phone will have a Snapdragon 870 chipset, a Samsung display and 88W wired charging, as well as 66W wirelessly.

The vivo iQOO Neo5 is expected to have 8GB RAM and 128GB storage with some new RAM-capacity boosting tech. Whether this is true and how it will work on a smartphone is yet to be confirmed by vivo and we’ll know for sure in 2.5 weeks.
