iQOO Neo 855 Price in Pakistan & Specs
iQOO Neo 855 Price in Pakistan & Full Specifications
The iQOO Neo 855 is where the Neo story began — a late-2019 China-exclusive that put the flagship Snapdragon 855 into an affordable gaming phone. Seven years on it is a vintage device: still competent for light gaming and daily use, but stuck on Android 9 with no 5G and only grey-market or used availability in Pakistan. This guide treats it honestly — a budget retro-gaming pick, not a modern smartphone recommendation — with real specs, price estimates and PTA notes.
Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality
159.5 x 75.2 x 8.1 mm, 198.5 grams, with glass front and back and an aluminium frame — genuinely premium materials for its original price. The in-display optical fingerprint sensor was advanced for 2019, and unlike modern Neos it keeps a 3.5mm headphone jack. The waterdrop notch looks dated today.
Display Features
The 6.38-inch Super AMOLED with HDR10 at 1080 x 2400 (~404 ppi) was excellent in 2019 and remains pleasant — deep blacks, punchy colours. The catch is the 60Hz refresh rate: no high-refresh smoothness, which gamers will feel immediately after any modern phone.
Processor and Performance
The Snapdragon 855 (7 nm) with Adreno 640 was the 2019 Android flagship chip and remains usable for everyday apps and light-to-moderate gaming — PUBG Mobile at smooth settings, older titles at high. It lacks 5G entirely. A competent retro-gaming and daily-driver chip in 2026, not a performance purchase.
RAM and Storage
6GB/64GB, 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB with UFS 3.0, no card slot. By 2026 standards 6GB/64GB is tight — the 8GB/128GB version is the minimum worth buying, and the most common surviving used configuration.
Camera Features
12MP f/1.8 main with dual-pixel autofocus, 8MP ultrawide and 2MP depth, 4K@30fps video; 16MP front camera. Acceptable daylight photos in 2019 terms, weak low light by modern standards, no OIS. Buy this phone for the chip and screen, not the cameras.
Battery and Charging
4500mAh with 33W wired charging — well over an hour for a full charge, slow by 2026 standards. Battery health is the critical check on any used unit this old: ask for its condition and expect reduced capacity on original cells, budgeting for a possible replacement.
Software and Updates
The biggest weakness: Android 9 (Pie) with Funtouch 9, updates ended years ago. No security patches, and growing app-compatibility issues — some banking and government apps may refuse to run. Do not buy this as a primary daily driver in 2026; it is a secondary/gaming device at best.
Connectivity and Additional Features
4G LTE only — no 5G hardware. Dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX, multi-GNSS, USB Type-C with OTG, and the 3.5mm jack with Hi-Res audio. No NFC per most listings, no FM radio. Fine for calls, 4G data and offline gaming.
Variants, Colours and Availability
China variants: 6GB/64GB, 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB; only used units circulate in Pakistan now. Naming trap: the Neo 855 Racing Edition is a separate, slightly faster model (Snapdragon 855+) — verify which one a seller offers, as the Racing Edition commands a small premium.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
Listings are all over the place. As of 11 October 2026: Rs. 83,312 (Technologistan), Rs. 48,999 (parhlo/mobilemall), Rs. 35,500 (hamariweb) and Rs. 66,334 (giznext) — these look like stale or converted listings, not live used prices. A realistic 2026 used price for a working 8GB/128GB unit is likely Rs. 25,000–40,000 by condition, unverified. Check battery health, and note that PTA-registered vs non-registered status massively affects value.
| Variant | Quoted price | Source | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6GB + 64GB | Rs. 83,312 | Technologistan | Oct 2026 |
| Unspecified | Rs. 48,999 | parhlo / mobilemall.pk | Oct 2026 |
| Unspecified | Rs. 35,500 | hamariweb | Sep 2026 |
| Unspecified | Rs. 66,334 | giznext | Oct 2026 |
iQOO has never officially sold phones in Pakistan, so every iQOO Neo 855 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.

- Super AMOLED HDR10 display with premium glass/aluminium build
- Rare 3.5mm headphone jack in the Neo line
- In-display fingerprint sensor was ahead of its time
- Very cheap as a used buy — if you find a healthy unit
Limitations
- Stuck on Android 9 — no security patches, app compatibility issues
- No 5G, 60Hz display, 33W charging feels slow today
- Battery health on 7-year-old units is a gamble
- Cameras are dated; no OIS
- No official support or parts availability
Who Should Consider This Phone?
The Neo 855 suits a tinkerer or retro-gaming enthusiast wanting a cheap Snapdragon 855 secondary phone — emulation, offline games, media — who understands the Android 9 limits. Absolutely not a primary-phone recommendation in 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the iQOO Neo 855 still usable in 2026?
As a secondary device, yes — the Snapdragon 855 handles everyday apps and light gaming. As a primary phone, Android 9 (no patches, app issues) makes it hard to recommend.
When was the iQOO Neo 855 launched?
Announced 24 October 2019, released in China in December 2019. Never sold officially in Pakistan.
Neo 855 vs Neo 855 Racing Edition — what's the difference?
The Racing Edition upgrades to the Snapdragon 855+ (higher clocks, ~10-15% faster graphics) with 8GB/12GB RAM. Display, cameras, battery and design are identical.
Does it support 5G?
No — the Snapdragon 855 has no 5G modem. This is a 4G LTE-only phone.
What Android version does it run?
Android 9 (Pie) with Funtouch 9, unsupported for years. Some banking and official apps may not run — verify your essential apps before buying.
How is the battery on a used unit?
A 7-year-old original battery will have degraded. Ask about battery health and budget for a replacement — 33W charging makes weak cells frustrating.
Is it PTA approved?
Depends on the individual unit. Check the specific IMEI with the PTA; a non-registered unit this old may not be worth registering given tax vs value.

Final Verdict
The iQOO Neo 855 is a museum piece that still works — 2019 flagship chip, AMOLED screen, headphone jack, now at used-phone pocket money. Buy only as a secondary retro-gaming device after checking battery health, app compatibility and PTA status, and only at a price reflecting a 7-year-old phone.
