Get ready for the upcoming iQOO Neo12, as iQOO has announced it will be equipped with a cutting-edge “super-sensing touch chip” that shares technology with the flagship iQOO 16. This powerful chip promises an astonishing instantaneous touch sampling rate of up to 5000Hz, significantly enhancing gaming and overall user interaction.
Enhanced Gaming and Interaction
The announcement came during a screen technology communication meeting involving Vi(n)o, iQOO, and Tsinghua University. iQOO Product Vice President Luo Feng confirmed that the iQOO Neo12 is set to launch by the end of October.
Further details shared by Luo Jiahui, iQOO Neo Product Manager, reveal that the Neo12 will boast a 2K 185Hz “super crown screen” and the self-developed Q3 gaming chip. Notably, it will be the first in the industry to support simultaneous 2K resolution and 185FPS high frame rates, with support for over 50 games optimized for native 185-frame performance.
The integration of the same Q-flex control technology found in the iQOO 16, coupled with the advanced touch chip, is expected to provide an unparalleled gaming experience. The 5000Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate means the phone can register touch inputs at an incredibly high frequency, reducing latency and improving responsiveness, which is crucial for competitive gaming. Additionally, it supports a multi-finger touch sampling rate of up to 500Hz, ensuring accurate and fluid multi-touch gestures.
