iQOO Neo 10 confirmed to launch in India: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, 7,000mAh battery and everything expected
Vivo sub-brand iQOO is on a launch spree in India as it prepares to debut another phone in the highly competitive mid-range smartphone segment. The new device will be the highly anticipated iQOO Neo 10 and the launch poseter reveals that it could be powered by a Snapdragon processor while being exclusively available to buy on Amazon, much like Neo 9 Pro.
In terms of design, the iQOO Neo 10 looks very similar to the Neo10R which launched in India in March. The phone comes with a squiricle camera setup with a dual tone finish separated a by a dotted line.
As per tipster, Abhishek Yadav, the Neo 10R will come with a 6.78 inch TCL C9+ OLED display with 2,000 nits of peak brightness and 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is tipped to feature a thickness of 8.09mm and weigh just around 209 grams. It could pack an IP65 rating for water and dust resitance and feature an in-display fingerprint sensor (optical sensor).
Under the hood, iQOO Neo 10 could be the first phone in India to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor along with Adreno 825 GPU. It could be paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.
The iQOO Neo 10 could come with a dual camera setup with a 50MP Sony LYT600 primary shooter and an 8MP secondary sensor (probably an ultra-wide angle lens). On the front could be a 16MP shooter for selfies and video calls.
Much like other recently launched iQOO phones, the Neo 10 is expected to come packed with Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15. It could pack a massive 7,000mAh battery pack with support for 120W of fast charging.
As for pricing, the tipser predicts that iQOO Neo 10 could be priced under ₹ 35,000 but there is no exact leaked pricing as such. Given the specs and the expected pricing, the Neo 10 could compete directly with OnePlus 13R.

Why Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei thinks a 10-year AI regulation freeze is dangerous
Dario Amodei, Chief Executive of AI firm Anthropic, has criticised a Republican proposal to halt state-level regulation of artificial intelligence for ten years, calling the measure "far too blunt" in a sharply worded opinion piece published inThe New York Times. The proposal, reportedly embedded within former President Donald Trump's revived tax cut bill, seeks to prevent individual US states from enforcing their own AI regulations. This move, backers say, is intended to create a unified national framework. However, it has faced significant pushback, including from a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general who have already enacted safeguards against high-risk AI use. You may be interested in Amodei, whose company is backed by Amazon, argued that the rapid pace of AI advancement demands a more agile and balanced approach. 'A 10-year moratorium is far too blunt an instrument. AI is advancing too head-spinningly fast,' he wrote. 'Without a clear plan for a federal response, a moratorium would give us the worst of both worlds — no ability for states to act, and no national policy as a backstop.' Instead, Amodei called for a coordinated effort between the White House and Congress to develop a federal transparency standard. Such a framework, he suggested, would compel AI developers to openly disclose their testing methods, risk mitigation strategies, and national security considerations prior to releasing advanced models. Anthropic already shares these details publicly, Amodei noted, and rivals OpenAI and Google DeepMind have adopted similar practices. However, he cautioned that voluntary transparency may not be sustainable as AI systems become more powerful and commercial stakes rise. 'Legislative incentives may become necessary to ensure this openness continues,' he said. Amodei's intervention adds weight to calls for a federal framework that preserves public safety while ensuring that innovation is not stifled, a balance that may prove increasingly difficult to strike as AI tools become more sophisticated and deeply embedded in daily life.

Reddit sues AI giant Anthropic over content use
SAN FRANCISCO: Social media outlet Reddit filed a lawsuit Wednesday against artificial intelligence company Anthropic, accusing the startup of illegally scraping millions of user comments to train its Claude chatbot without permission or compensation. The lawsuit in a California state court represents the latest front in the growing battle between content providers and AI companies over the use of data to train increasingly sophisticated language models that power the generative AI revolution. Anthropic, valued at $61.5 billion and heavily backed by Amazon, was founded in 2021 by former executives from OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. The company, known for its Claude chatbot and AI models, positions itself as focused on AI safety and responsible development. "This case is about the two faces of Anthropic: the public face that attempts to ingratiate itself into the consumer's consciousness with claims of righteousness and respect for boundaries and the law, and the private face that ignores any rules that interfere with its attempts to further line its pockets," the suit said. According to the complaint, Anthropic has been training its models on Reddit content since at least December 2021, with CEO Dario Amodei co-authoring research papers that specifically identified high-quality content for data training. The lawsuit alleges that despite Anthropic's public claims that it had blocked its bots from accessing Reddit, the company's automated systems continued to harvest Reddit's servers more than 100,000 times in subsequent months. Reddit is seeking monetary damages and a court injunction to force Anthropic to comply with its user agreement terms. The company has requested a jury trial.
