iQOO Neo 7 Racing Price in Pakistan
iQOO Neo 7 Racing Price in Pakistan & Full Specifications
The iQOO Neo 7 Racing is a China-exclusive special edition from January 2023. The 'Racing' name is not just marketing: iQOO replaced the standard Neo 7's Dimensity 9000+ with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 for buyers who preferred Qualcomm silicon, keeping the 120Hz AMOLED display, 50MP OIS camera, 5000mAh battery and 120W charging. It never launched in Pakistan — local units are grey-market imports. This guide covers the real specs, Pakistan price estimates and PTA costs.

Design and Build Quality
The Neo 7 Racing keeps the Neo 7 dimensions — 164.8 x 76.9 x 8.5 mm, 197 grams — with aluminium body, glass front and plastic back. The Orange colourway is the racing-inspired standout, alongside Blue and Black. In-display optical fingerprint sensor and stereo speakers included; no headphone jack, no official IP rating.
Display Features
The 6.78-inch AMOLED runs at 120Hz with HDR10+ and 1500-nit peak brightness at 1080 x 2400 (~388 ppi). Vivid, smooth and bright outdoors, with low touch latency for gaming — the same strong panel as the standard Neo 7.
Processor and Performance
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm) with Adreno 730 replaces the Dimensity 9000+ of the standard Neo 7. Both are flagship-grade, but the Snapdragon tends to have broader game optimisation and better emulator support — why many buyers specifically hunt the Racing edition. With the vivo V1+ chip and iQOO's cooling, it sustains long gaming sessions well.
RAM and Storage
8GB, 12GB or 16GB of RAM with 256GB storage, plus a top 16GB/512GB option — all UFS 3.1, no card slot. The 12GB/256GB version is the sweet spot; grey-market units in Pakistan are usually 8GB/256GB or 12GB/256GB.
Camera Features
50MP f/1.9 main with OIS, 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro, recording 4K@30fps; 16MP front camera. The main sensor produces sharp daylight shots and respectable night photos. The ultrawide is decent in good light but soft at the edges, and the 2MP macro is filler — a gaming phone's camera system.
Battery and Charging
The 5000mAh battery supports 120W wired charging — about 50% in 8 minutes, full in roughly 25. Heavy gaming days are handled with a quick top-up. Verify the original 120W charger is included; substitutes will not hit these speeds. No wireless charging.
Software and Updates
Launched with Android 13 and OriginOS 3 (China ROM). Verify Google services are present and working before buying — some units need setup work, and flashing global software on a China-market iQOO can be complicated. Check the actual Android version on the unit rather than assuming updates arrived.
Connectivity and Additional Features
5G (SA/NSA) on dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX HD/Adaptive/Lossless, NFC, infrared blaster, multi-GNSS and USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG. Pakistani 4G bands supported; 5G hardware ready. No FM radio, no eSIM.
Variants, Colours and Availability
China variants: 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB, 16GB/256GB and 16GB/512GB in Orange, Blue and Black — never sold outside China. Naming trap: this is completely different from the iQOO Neo 855 Racing Edition, a 2019 phone with a Snapdragon 855+. Do not confuse the two when comparing prices.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
Estimates span a wide band with no official anchor. As of 11 October 2026: Rs. 121,024 (Technologistan), Rs. 127,200 (mobile57), Rs. 120,000 (hi94), Rs. 92,200 (mobile-phone.pk) and ~Rs. 87,400 (gadgetsandaccessories). None are verified live market prices — treat the realistic import band as roughly Rs. 90,000–125,000, confirm with the seller, and add PTA tax on top.

iQOO has never officially sold phones in Pakistan, so every iQOO Neo 7 Racing here is a grey-market or used import with no official local warranty. Each imported unit must be registered with the PTA under DIRBS rules or it stops working on Pakistani SIMs after the grace period — and the tax on a flagship-class phone adds tens of thousands of rupees. Always verify the IMEI before buying and budget the tax on top: see our PTA approval guide and how to check PTA status.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'Racing Edition' mean on the Neo 7 Racing?
A chipset swap: the Dimensity 9000+ became a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, keeping the same display, cameras, battery and 120W charging. The racing is in the silicon, not the design.
When was the iQOO Neo 7 Racing launched?
Announced 29 December 2022, released in China on 5 January 2023. Never launched in Pakistan or outside China.
Neo 7 Racing vs Neo 7 Pro — which is better?
Very close: both use the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with the same display, camera, battery and charging. The Pro (India) runs Funtouch OS; the Racing is China-market with OriginOS. Buy whichever verified-clean unit you find.
What RAM and storage options exist?
8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB, 16GB/256GB and 16GB/512GB, all UFS 3.1, no card slot. The 12GB/256GB is the best balance.
How fast does it charge?
120W wired charging reaches about 50% in 8 minutes and full in ~25 minutes — only with the original 120W charger in the box.
Is the Neo 7 Racing PTA approved?
No. Every unit needs individual PTA DIRBS registration with substantial tax for this class. Check the IMEI before paying.
Is it the same as the Neo 855 Racing Edition?
No — completely different phones. The Neo 855 Racing Edition is a 2019 4G phone with Snapdragon 855+; the Neo 7 Racing is a 2023 5G phone with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

Final Verdict
The Neo 7 Racing delivers exactly what its name promises — the Neo 7 with a Snapdragon chip — plus 120W charging and a strong main camera. In Pakistan it is import-only, so verify Google services on the OriginOS ROM, the original charger, and the IMEI with the PTA. Get those right and it is a superb used-market gaming phone.
