what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the iq neo6 now for those of you that haven't heard of this brand before this is basically a sub
brand of vivo so kind of like the redmi line from xiaomi so this is that line that offers really
good value for your money so the new 6 right here is half the price of an iphone 13 well less than
half the price of an iphone 13 and for that money you get a snapdragon 870 that's paired with 12
gigs of ram and 256 gigs of internal storage so just to get an idea of this brand's value
basically now i've also done a camera comparison between this phone and my iphone 13. and if you're
here and just want to see the camera comparison that one starts at this minute of this video so
you can skip right to that camera comparison all right so just before we go any further let's do
a bit of an unboxing just so you can get an idea of what comes in the box with this phone
all right so in the box you're going to find the silicone case for the device that's definitely
a nice addition this so you don't have to spend extra money for a case you're gonna find the user
manual we also have a usbc charging cable and the 80 watt fast charger so inside the neo 6 we have a
milliamp hour battery and if you're using the charger that comes in the box you can charge
this phone from 0 to 100 in about 40 minutes and on one charge depending how you're using the phone
of course you can get up to 13 hours of screen on time now for that particular test i was using
the phone on wi-fi only and i basically played videos on non-stop with the screen of the maximum
brightness of course if you're actually using the phone the sim card inside and you're using it like
day-to-day usage you're only gonna get about seven to eight hours of screen on time
moving on to the device itself well this phone has a somewhat unique look i'm gonna say mostly
because of that square camera system that we have on the back and the fact that the back
changes colors depending how you look at it now your first clue that you're looking at a budget
friendly device would be the fact that the back and the phone's frame are made out of plastic
so you're not going to get that premium feel that you typically get with phones that have
a metallic frame and maybe glass on the back so yes the phone does feel a bit on the cheaper side
i'm gonna say so on the right hand side of the frame here we have the power button and the volume
keys at the top we have the holes for a microphone at the bottom we have the sim card slot so this
device can take two sim cards at the same time we have the usbc charging port and the second
speaker so this device has one speaker at the bottom and one at the top here and the speakers
do sound quite decent and this is a quick sample just you can hear how those speakers sound like
on the front of the device we have a 6.62 inches amoled screen the refresh rate of 120 hertz and
also a peak brightness of 1300 nits so you can definitely see this phone outdoors some
indirect sunlight something that doesn't really happen with a lot of budget friendly devices so
really good screen on this particular device we also have an in-screen fingerprint scanner
something that i wasn't actually expecting and the in-screen fingerprint scanner works really good it
only takes like half a second from the time you touch the screen with your finger for the phone
to unlock so it works surprisingly well with that in-screen fingerprint scanner all right so
for those of you that like benchmark scores this device gets an antutu benchmark score of about 730
000 so pretty high score for a budget friendly device and pretty much all the applications
that i've tried on it work extremely well the phone does feel quite fast so no matter what
app you're going to be using no matter what game you're going to be playing the phone will perform
really well and it doesn't get that hot because with a lot of flagship devices that we got this
year well those get quite hot this one doesn't actually get that hot whenever i'm playing games
now this device it's using android 12 but on top of that android 12 we have
a skin or launcher called fun touch os and i have to say i'm not a big fan of the fun touch os
first of all the phone comes pre-installed with a bunch of apps that you're gonna have to uninstall
because they're useless and then it keeps sending you notifications from different apps the one
that sends the most notifications even though i never actually opened the app is the browser app
i'm sure that if i would look more into it i could actually disable those notifications and maybe
even uninstall that browser app even though it's not that easy to do so fun touch os is definitely
not my favorite thing about this phone i wish it would have had a launcher that was a bit simpler
and less some notifications that were being sent constantly the phone supports 5g connectivity as
well if your carrier supports 5g of course um we also have a pretty decent gps unit inside it
only takes like a couple of seconds to find your location but unfortunately there is no nfc chip
inside this device you are not going to be able to use the device to make payments using google pay
for example we have a variety of sensors and you can also watch netflix in hd so overall this is a
pretty fast phone it has a lot of decent specs so a lot of power and i just wish the launcher would
have been a bit different i'm sure that if you work on it a bit you can make it better but aside
from that fun touch os uh launcher everything is pretty decent about this phone and with that
being said i think we're gonna move on and um start um that camera comparison that i mentioned
earlier so on the back of the device here we have three cameras we have the main camera that also
has optical image stabilization then we have an ultra wide camera and a macro camera and on the
front of the device we have a 16 megapixel camera and that being said let's um begin by checking out
some portrait mode pictures that i took with this device and my iphone 13. all right so
after looking at those portrait mode pictures it almost looks like the neo 6 has the better
edge detection when compared to that iphone 13 of course and around the subject mostly if you look
at the laura's hair in some of those pictures the edge detection from the neo6 seems to be better
now for color accuracy i feel that the iphone 13 has the more natural looking colors so colors
that i was seeing with my own eyes but the new six does have the more instagram ready pictures
and i showed laura those portrait no pictures and she prefers every single picture taken by
the neo six so of course this comes down to your personal preference and what um you prefer for
those portrait mode pictures moving on to some five times zoom pictures keep in mind that neither
device has a telephoto lens so everything that you're seeing is basically digital zoom
well i carely say that the iphone does better or the neo 6 does better they kind of do equally
bad i'm going to say so i feel that the neo 6 is using a bit more contrast in those pictures but
overall none of them take some amazing zoom pictures basically moving on to some pictures
that i took with the ultra wide camera as well first of all you're gonna notice that the iphone
has the wider field of view so you can see a bit more in those pictures taken by the iphone 13
and therefore colors i kind of prefer the colors from the iphone 13 the neo6 does seem to
over saturate those colors a bit and maybe there is a bit of a reddish hue in those
some pictures as well so for the ultra wide cameras i do prefer um the iphone 13 but
definitely leave a comment down below and let me know your thoughts which ones do you prefer
for those zoom pictures the ultra wide pictures and the portrait mode pictures and of course i
also have some pictures that i took with the main cameras on the back of the two devices all the
pictures were taking about a second apart from each other and on auto mode on both devices so
the same kind of applies um as we've had for the ultra wide cameras so the neo6 does have the more
saturated looking colors even though in some of those pictures some the neo 6 does seem to do
better the pictures look a bit brighter they have a bit more color even dynamic
range seems to be better in some situations so for some of those pictures yes the neo 6 does
good and once again i feel that it comes down to your personal preference if you prefer
those more saturated colors or those more natural looking colors that we get from the iphone 13.
so let you guys watch a few more pictures i took during the day and i will be right back
next we're gonna move on and check out some pictures that i took at night to both devices both
devices support a night mode for the main cameras and for the ultra ray cameras and all the pictures
that you are seeing on your screen right now of course or taking using that night mode available
on both devices and the first pictures that we are seeing are pictures that i took with the main
cameras so for the main camera and the night mode i have to say that i was quite surprised by the
quality of the pictures that we got from the neo6 many of them are actually better than the pictures
that i took with the iphone 13 i was definitely not expecting that so a lot of those pictures
are brighter from the nearest six they're also a bit sharper so overall i feel that for nighttime
pictures under the right conditions of course the neo6 does a bit better than the iphone 13.
so what do you guys think check out those pictures and definitely leave a comment and
let me know your thoughts which one do you prefer for the main camera and the night mode as for the
ultra wide cameras and the night mode well here it seems um that we get the opposite so the iphone
13 does seem to have the sharper pictures taking that ultra wide camera but overall neither device
does that amazing with the ultrawide cameras and of course that knight won't and also again leave
a comment down below and let me know on your thoughts all right so next we're going to move
on and check out some sample video recordings that i've done during the day and of course at
night with both devices so both device can do 4k at 60 frames per second however that resolution
only the iphone 13 has image stabilization the neo 6 only has image stabilization
if you're recording in 4k at 30 frames per second and i've also noticed that i cannot use the ultra
wide camera on this one to record the videos so you can only use the main camera to record videos
so i'll let you guys watch those sample recordings and i'll come back so we can talk about them after
okay we have a quick recording between the iphone 13 and the neo six for this recording i'm using
the main cameras on the back of the two devices and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second both
devices can also do 4k at 60 frames per second however if you're recording at that resolution
the neo 6 doesn't get um stabilization so we are better off to do 4k at 30 frames per second i've
also noticed that you cannot record videos with the ultrawide camera on the back of the neo6
so your main camera is basically the only option when it comes to video recordings now i'm happy to
have the main camera the film is good then have an ultra white camera that doesn't actually feel good
so i'm okay filming just to the the main camera so 4k 30 frames per second between the iphone 13
and the neo6 on a super sunny day but also a bit windy so you may have heard a bit of wind
aside from my voice all right we have a quick recording between the neo6 and the iphone 13
in low light for this recording i'm using the main cameras on the back of the two devices
and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second as i mentioned earlier both devices could do 4k at 60
but um with that resolution with the neo6 we don't get image stabilization so 4k 30 is gonna have to
do we do have some street lights around here so it's not totally dark but at
least you'll get an idea of how the footage looks under these conditions
you can see the castle uh there so 4k at 30 frames per second with the main cameras between these two
devices all right we have a quick video test to the front facing cameras on the iphone 13
and of course on the neo 6 so if you are using the front-facing camera on the neo 6 the maximum
recording resolution is 1080p at 30 frames per second of course the iphone 13 we can do 4k at
60 frames per second so a bit of a difference for that um resolution for the front-facing
camera as you can see i am walking fairly normal and i'm also trying to keep the phones as steady
as possible and we have a super sunny day we'll turn around this way so now the sun is uh right
in front of me so behind the cameras basically so yeah fro facing cameras on the neo 6 and the
iphone 13. now of course for video recordings i kind of knew that the iphone 13 would do
better the iphone seems to be the best for video recordings but i was pleasantly surprised by the
video quality that we got from the neo6 mostly taking consideration the price of this device
because this one is less than half of an iphone 13. moving on to some selfies well here for
selfies it seems that the iphone 13 does better for daytime selfies and nighttime selfies once
again i was kind of expecting that a lot of budget friendly devices don't get the best selfie cameras
i'm gonna say so there you have it this is the iq neo6 what do you guys think about this device
is it worth its price is it good enough should have been better definitely leave a comment down
below and let me know your thoughts thanks for watching and i'll see you guys in the next one
