iQOO Neo 10: If you’re in the market for a phone that brings the punch on performance, display, battery, and camera without breaking the bank, the iQOO Neo 10 could be just the right one for you. At a starting price of Rs 31,999, this phone is like a powerhouse in mid-range clothing. With its sharp styling and feature-laden hardware, it is no mere gaming phone. Here’s a closer insight into what you can expect with the iQOO Neo 10.

Slim Build with Humongous Battery

Another highlight of the iQOO Neo 10 is its 7,000mAh battery, crammed into a slim and compact body. Even with the huge battery, the phone does not feel bulky or cumbersome at all. In our tests, it comfortably lasted more than a day and a half, and with minimal usage, even lasted two days. The 120W fast charging support is a big bonus, delivering a day’s power in just 15 minutes using the charger that comes in the box.

Bright and Smooth AMOLED Display

The 6.78-inch AMOLED screen is designed for entertainment. A 1.5K resolution and 2,000 nits high brightness mode (and up to 5,500 nits peak) make for great outdoor viewing. Streaming on services like Netflix or Prime Video is supported with HDR, and the 144Hz refresh rate provides silky-smooth gaming and scrolling. Whether watching films or gaming on BGMI, the display enhances the experience.

Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 for Flagship-Class Performance

The iQOO Neo 10 brings India the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. Equipped with iQOO’s Q1 graphics chip, the phone is driven to deliver fantastic benchmark scores — even beating the iQOO 12 in certain tests. With GeekBench and 3DMark results on the higher side, performance is both consistent and beast-like. Gaming is smooth with 144FPS support and low latency. Funtouch OS 15 (which is based on Android 15) does have some bloatware but most can be uninstalled.

Great Camera Quality

While iQOO phones have not necessarily been camera-centric, the Neo 10 is a welcome surprise. The 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor takes decently detailed, natural photos. Images taken in bright daylight are colorful and vibrant, with nighttime shots surviving with a steady hand. Portrait mode photos offer decent edge detection and depth, making it a fine all-rounder even on the camera front.

Variants and Launch Details

The phone comes in four models, beginning with Rs 31,999 for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There’s a slightly pricier model at Rs 33,999 with doubled storage. There’s also a 12GB/256GB model for Rs 35,999, and the highest version with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage costs Rs 40,999. Pre-bookings are available up to June 1, and open sale will begin from June 3.
