iQOO Neo 10R specs, features
The key hardware spec is the underlying processor. 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. iQOO has paired with class-leading LPDDR5X RAM and UFS4.1 storage.
The iQOO Neo 10R has a 6.78-inch 1.5K resolution AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 2,000Hz “instant touch sampling rate.” The phone’s “Ultra Game Mode,” supports 90 FPS gaming. The phone runs the Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15 and is guaranteed to get three years of major OS and four years of security updates. The battery is 6400mAh and there is support for 80W fast charging. For photography, it has a 50MP wide and 8MP ultrawide camera combination on the back.
Speaking of which, you can get the iQOO Neo 10R in two colours. One of them, which is called the “iQOO Neo 10R Raging Blue” 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 other option is called Moon knight Titanium.
