Under the hood, the iQOO 7 impresses with its Qualcomm SM8350 Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, built on a 5 nm process. This powerhouse includes an octa-core CPU which combines the blazing speed of a Cortex-X1 core with the efficiency of Cortex-A78 and Cortex-A55 cores. Paired with the Adreno 660 GPU, the phone handles high-demand applications and games with ease. The device comes in various configurations, offering either 8GB or 12GB of RAM coupled with 128GB or 256GB of internal storage, based on UFS 3.1 technology, which delivers swift read and write speeds. However, the absence of a card slot may disappoint those who frequently expand their storage.
