Nothing Phone (2) vs iQOO Neo 7 Pro: performance, battery, and software

Both the phones come with the same Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with UFS 3.1 storage and LPDRR5 RAM standards, however, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro focuses more on performance with an independent gaming chip, X-axis linear motor, 300Hz touch sampling rate, and a 3D cooling system.

iQOO Neo 7 Pro also features a bigger 5,000mAh battery but an LTPO display in the Phone (2) should ensure better efficiency with 4,700mAh as it brings down the display refresh to 1Hz from 120Hz. The display on the latter is also brighter with a peak brightness of 1,600 nits while the former comes with a 2,160 PWM value for a flicker-free experience.
