The company has made some official announcements ahead of the launch of the phone as the company revealed that the Vivo iQoo Neo 855 Edition will come equipped with 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage.
The smartphone is already listed for pre-order in China before its official launch and will go on sale starting November 1 in China.
iQoo has shared a poster on the company’s official Weibo page which clearly mentions that the Vivo iQoo Neo 855 Edition will employ the faster UFS 3.0 storage and will offer 256GB of internal storage.
