The iQOO Neo 10 has been launched in India as the brand’s newest gaming phone in the midrange segment. In typical iQOO fashion, the Neo 10 debuts a couple of top-tier components in India – a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a 7,000mAh battery, a 144Hz OLED display and the latest version of Android 15. With competitive pricing, the iQOO Neo 10 takes on the likes of flagship killer devices like the OnePlus 13R and Google Pixel 8a.
Prior to a deep dive into its features and specifications, here is a gist of all the crucial details to consumers. The iQOO Neo 10 is available in two colourways: Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome. The phone is available in multiple variants with varying prices and it goes up for pre-booking from May 26. iQOO will put it on sale from June 2 for pre-booked customers and will open it up to everyone from June 3.

iQOO Neo 10 specs and features at a glance
The iQOO Neo 10 slots above the more mass-centric Neo 10R and the flagship iQOO 13 handset. The phone is built around the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 platform, coupled with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. A custom Q1 chip promises to enhance the gaming experience as well. A 7,000 mm2 vapir chamber is present to ensure good thermal performance. The phone relies on FunTouchOS 15 based on Android 15 out of the box and iQOO promises up to 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches.
For those wondering about the performance credentials of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, the AnTuTu scores pitch it as a slightly powerful variant of last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship chipset. Hence, when it comes to gaming and video editing, the iQOO Neo 10 should theoretically fly.
As far as the rest of the phone is concerned, you get a 6.7-inch 1.5K resolution AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 5500 nits and HDR10+ support. A 7,000mAh battery is expected to keep the phone powered up and a 120W wired charger could fill it up fast. The camera system consists of a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor and an 8MP ultrawide shooter at the back. The front camera relies on a 32MP sensor for selfies.
iQOO has also packed a handful of generative AI tools for editing images and doing transcriptions.
