Concerned about the green lines about the phone's display? That's only coming to the Indian variant, the China variant doesn't have it since it's superior at build quality
Is it equipped with Global ROM?

The floating window is one of the reasons to choose Origin over Funtouch. It's very easy to use yet a tonne of app support including YouTube!
Gaming performance is excellent. It's on the Snapdragon 888 level but without being hot like a stove.
Using this software makes Funtouch felt like a scam. It's hundreds of times better.

My Neo7 SE update:
Almost 7 months have passed and the introduction of the iQOO Neo9, this phone still holds up well like day one. I'm quite a heavy user, now battery health is at 96% (still great!).
I have discovered that this phone has two charging modes: 120W FlashCharge (25 mins to full) and normal fast charging (pulls about 80W and 40 mins to full)
Note that I'm using the 120W FlashCharge about 3-4 times a week since I first got it, and normal fast charging for the rest of the time. The 120W is truly useful whenever I'm late for work lol, and it delivers!
Since I lived in Malaysia (hot and humid environment) this phone never heats under normal usage. It does however heat up with 120W FlashCharge enabled, but it's recommended to use it in a cooler environment or it'll just slow down the charging speed. The normal fast charging never raised the phone temperature, so thumbs up for that.
I still haven't gotten the OriginOS 4 update, but I believe it's just around the corner.

tldr: its a great phone
the good:
- screen: amazing 120hz oled panel with perfect color calibration and great brightness levels (easily legible in direct sunlight)
- performance: no hint of ui lag/loading whatsoever and gaming performance is excellent due to the dimensity 8200 chip. great sustained performance thanks to good optimisation
- os: originos is an s-tier android skin in my opinion. it has easily the most fluid and thoughtful animations of any skin, good looks, and plenty of customisation. its just fun to use
- camera: main camera has ois and is capable of good photos and videos in all situations. you can even record 4k 60fps. macro camera, despite being low-res, is decent in niche situations
- battery life: simply put, reliable. with my usage (mixed social media, youtube, light games), you can easily get 7.5 to 8 hours of screen time during the day. charging speed is also very quick, with 120w charging giving you a full charge in less than 30 minutes if enabled
- design: despite being a gaming phone, the phone looks and feels fashionable. only 193g with good weight balance and thinness despite the 6.78" display, and chic looks. the back has a matte finish which does a great job with hiding smudges
- speakers: rich sound, great stereo seperation and loudness
the meh/bad:
- refresh rate: if you leave the automatic refresh rate option on, there will be stutters when the phone adjusts its refresh rate upon opening certain apps. its annoying enough that you should just leave 120hz on and manually select what apps you want running at 120hz; the stutters are virtually gone
- no ultrawide: understably, cameras are not a priority on gaming phones. however, even the token 8mp ultrawide would've been preferable to a 2mp depth sensor that quite literally is useless (you can cover it with your finger and the phone will still take normal portrait photos). in niche scenarios the fov of ultrawide can be cool
- selfie cam: low fov and lack of sharpness (probably due to the camera sensor using a quad-bayer filter)
- no headphone jack: as a budget gaming phone, it ought to have one. remember that wired audio still has the least latency, which is important for competitive gaming
- lack of glass or ingress protection listed: understandly not a priority for the class of phone and pricing, but at least knowing that the phone uses gorilla glass 3 or 5 would give you peace of mind
