The iQOO 7 is essentially an iQOO 5 Neo under the hood. Hence, you get the same Snapdragon 870 chip that also powers the OnePlus 9R and Xiaomi Mi 11X. The iQOO 7 also has the same 6.6-inch 1080p AMOLED display but gains a dedicated MEMC chip for smoother visuals. This display also supports a refresh rate of 120Hz. The battery capacity is rated at 4400mAh.

The battery and other specifications remain the same as the iQOO 7 Legend, except for the camera arrangement. The main camera uses the same 48-megapixel Sony IMX589 sensor with OIS assistance. This is paired with a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera but it loses out on the 13-megapixel telephoto camera. Instead, it uses a Mono sensor as its third camera for B&W photos.
