iQOO will launch the iQOO Neo 10R in India on March 11, the Vivo spin-off announced today. Online reports had pegged a February launch but as it turns out, that is not the case. iQOO started teasing the phone—which is a potential OnePlus 13R competitor—last month and recently released its first look. The iQOO Neo 10R will be sold exclusively through Amazon and as per the product listing page, it will be powered by the most powerful processor in the under the Rs 30,000 segment.
The Amazon India product page confirms that the iQOO Neo 10R has the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 under the hood. The 8s Gen 3 is built around a 4nm TSMC manufacturing process, same as the 8 Gen 2 and uses the same Cortex-X4, A720 and A520 CPU cores as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a maximum clock speed of 3.0GHz. The Adreno 735 GPU is closer to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s Adreno 740. The iQOO Neo 9—before it, but not necessarily a prequel—had the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The Amazon listing also confirms another important detail. The iQOO Neo 10R has 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage at least.
The display is unspecified, but it has a 2,000Hz “instant touch sampling rate.” The refresh rate is 90Hz at least since the phone’s “Ultra Game Mode,” supports 90 FPS gaming, per the Amazon listing.
Elsewhere, iQOO has revealed the full design with the reveal of the “iQOO Neo 10R Raging Blue” with a striking blue and white back which is claimed to have been “crafted exclusively for India—to provide Indian consumers with unique and innovative designs that resonate with their bold and vibrant colour preferences,” iQOO says.
The iQOO Neo 10R is being billed as an “all-rounder high-performance smartphone with a bold and unique design.” The phone is tipped to be a rebranded iQOO Z9 Turbo Endurance Edition from China. Watch this space for more details.
