iQOO Neo 10 review: Flagship-grade performance, entry-level charm
While iQOO launched just one Neo device last year, it has already moved on to the second model in the lineup for 2025. The new iQOO Neo 10 is the first phone in India to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, paired with iQOO's in-house Q1 graphics chip and a 7,000 mAh battery, making it clearly aimed at gaming enthusiasts. But does the Neo 10 live up to the Neo series' reputation, or is it just another mildly tweaked entry in a crowded market? I've been using the iQOO Neo 10 for the past 10 days, and here's how it holds up in the real world. Inside the black-coloured box of the iQOO Neo 10, you get all the standard stuff, which includes the device itself wrapped inside a paper covering, a transparent plastic case, a SIM ejector tool, a USB-A to USB-C type cable, and some paperwork which, let's be honest, no one is ever going to read. In terms of design, the iQOO Neo 10 is almost a replica of the Neo 10R (Review), which launched back in March. The phone features the same squiricle camera outlet but with a bit of design around the edges, iQOO branding at the bottom, a plastic back, and a plastic frame. The in-hand feel of the Neo 10 isn't really ideal, especially for a device priced over ₹ 30,000. The full plastic exterior paired with the 6.78-inch display makes the phone feel hefty and uninspiring, and the feedback from the three buttons on the right doesn't do it any favours either. Similar to the Neo 10R, this phone also comes with an IP65 water and dust proof rating, meaning it can also handle a bit of splashes but not full submersion under water. In terms of connectivity, there is support for WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and an IR blaster. iQOO Neo 10 in Titanium Knight colour variant iQOO Neo 10 two colour variants The phone comes with a 6.78 inch 1.5K AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate (120Hz in most scenarios), HDR10+ certification and 5,000 nits of peak brightness (2000 nits in High Brightness Mode). This is a flat panel like the Neo 10R, making it more appealing to gamers. The panel here delivers impressive colour reproduction, deep contrasts, and great brightness levels which paired with the decently loud stereo speaker setup make the Neo 10 a great companion for those binge watching sessions. In peak outdoors, the display stilll remains pretty legible but the glare from the panel and make the output look less than ideal. iQOO Neo 10 display in bright outdoors The iQOO Neo 10 features the same camera setup as the Neo 10R, with a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a 32MP selfie shooter. The real-life output from the Neo 10 is also largely similar to its sibling, with the primary camera being capable of taking some good-looking shots in the daytime with plenty of detail and decent dynamic range. While the primary shooter handles low-light scenarios impressively well, I did notice some lens flare issues, with coloured streaks or ghost rings appearing while capturing bright lights like streetlights. Compared to its primary competition, however, the Neo 10 misses out big time due to the lack of a telephoto lens. Moreover, the images from the 13R seem to retain more detail, highlights, and capture colours that are closer to real life in my experience. Moving on to the ultra-wide angle lens, the 8MP shooter does the job, but the significant colour shift and loss in detail compared to the primary shooter mean one wouldn't be relying on it too much. The 32MP selfie shooter takes some detail-rich and eye-pleasing shots under good lighting, but the low-light performance of the sensor is somewhat underwhelming, with colour accuracy going for a toss and the Neo 10 showing a tendency to 'beautify' the images. iQOO Neo 10 camera sample iQOO Neo 10 camera sample iQOO Neo 10 camera sample iQOO Neo 10 camera sample iQOO Neo 10 camera sample iQOO Neo 10 lens flair issue The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor on iQOO Neo 10 is coupled the device with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage — a welcome step, especially considering that some phones in this price segment, like the Nothing Phone 3a Pro, still ship with UFS 2.2 storage. The new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor is capable, and I didn't experience any persistent heating issues with this chipset, unlike with many 8s Gen 3 phones. In terms of day-to-day usage, I found no issues with the Neo 10: the app opening time is great, as is the multitasking experience, which is to be expected from a flagship grade chipset. Owing to the peak summer heat, the phone does get a little warm during prolonged gaming sessions, but it never became too uncomfortable to hold, and the heat dissipated quickly once the phone was left alone. Now, let's take a look at the benchmarks of iQOO Neo 10: On GeekBench 6, the phone gets a single-core score of 2,102 and a multi-core score of 6,572 for the CPU benchmark. As for the GPU benchmark, the Neo 10 garnered a score of 14,338. On 3D Mark's Extreme Wild Life Stress Test, the phone got a best loop score of 3,217 and a lowest loop score of 2,174 with 67.6% stability. In comparison, the OnePlus 13R had a higher best loop score of 5,036 and a lowest loop score of 2,758, but with a lower stability rate at 54.8%. iQOO Neo 10 Antutu, GeekBench 6 CPU and GeekBench 6 GPU results iQOO Neo 10 3D Mark's Wild Life Extreme Stress Test results iQOO Neo 10 runs on Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, and iQOO has promised 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches with this device. In case you aren't aware of Funtouch OS, it's the UI found on all Vivo and iQOO phones in India. One good thing I like about Funtouch OS is that there's an option to disable most of the bloatware if one is scrutinous during the initial setup process. However, despite that, a few third-party apps still come bundled with the Neo 10, including Snapchat, PhonePe, Facebook, Spotify, Amazon, LinkedIn, and Netflix. The UI is also filled with ads—from the search drawer to the lock screen—and disabling all of them is a task on its own. Generally speaking, Funtouch OS is a decent option for people who don't really care about their software experience, with all features in order, but it lacks the finesse offered by some other smartphone makers like Samsung's One UI or OnePlus's OxygenOS. In terms of battery, the Neo 10 comes with a 7,000mAh setup with support for 100W fast charging, but there's a 120W charger that comes inside the box. The battery life is good enough to last well over a day, even for heavy users, with an average screen-on time of around 8–9 hours, and it takes about 40–45 minutes to fully top up the battery. Bloatware and ads on iQOO Neo 10 At a starting price of ₹ 31,999, the iQOO Neo 10 makes a strong case for itself as a gaming-focused phone, thanks to the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.1 storage, a massive 7,000mAh battery, 120W fast charging, and a flat 120Hz AMOLED panel. That said, it's hard to see this phone striking a chord with the wider audience. The all-plastic build feels dated at this price, and the absence of a telephoto lens or an IP68 rating, combined with the persistent ads and preinstalled bloatware on Funtouch OS 15, might be a dealbreaker for many.

iQOO Neo 10 vs Realme GT 7: India price, specs and features compared
Two phones have launched in quick succession, back to back. While the iQOO Neo 10 hit the Indian market on May 26 and became the first phone in the country powered by the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, the Realme GT 7 has officially launched today (May 27), powered by the equally capable MediaTek Dimensity 9400e. What makes these phones special is the fact that they pack top-tier hardware at relatively solid prices. The only thing is — the iQOO Neo 10 is priced even better than the Realme GT 7. So much so that it begs the question — is the GT 7 truly better just because it's the more expensive device, or is the Neo 10 the smarter choice in terms of both price and features? Here's a detailed comparison to help you Neo 10 vs Realme GT 7: Design and buildBoth phones go for a flat display and flat-edged design, with only a slight curve around the back to make them more comfortable to hold. They feel quite similar in the hand, each weighing 206 grams, though the iQOO Neo 10 is slightly slimmer at 8.1mm compared to the Realme GT 7's 8.3mm. The build quality feels premium overall, even though both use a plastic frame. Realme has added a bit more style to its design, thanks to a coloured power button and an accented camera island — subtle touches, but they do stand out. When it comes to durability, Realme has an edge with its IP69 rating, compared to IP65 on the iQOO, giving it slightly better protection against dust and Neo 10 vs Realme GT 7: DisplayOn paper, both phones have solid displays — 6.78-inch AMOLED panels with 1.5K resolution, and both come with a pre-applied screen protector. However, iQOO pulls ahead slightly. Its display supports a 144Hz refresh rate, which is higher than the 120Hz on the Realme GT 7, making it smoother in day-to-day use and gaming. It's also a bit brighter, with support for 2,000 nits in High Brightness Mode, compared to 1,600 nits on the Realme. As for protection, iQOO uses Schott Xensation UP glass, while Realme goes with Gorilla Glass 7i — both are good and offer decent scratch protection. Overall, while both displays are vibrant and crisp, iQOO's slightly better refresh rate and brightness give it a bit of an Neo 10 vs Realme GT 7: Performance and softwareadvertisement Performance is where things get interesting. The iQOO Neo 10 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, while the Realme GT 7 uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e, coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. Both are top-tier chips and should handle anything you throw at them, but the Snapdragon does have a more powerful GPU. iQOO also includes a dedicated graphics chip called Q1, which is designed to enhance gaming visuals and help maintain performance under load. Both phones feature large 7K vapour chamber cooling systems to keep things cool during heavy use. In terms of software, iQOO promises 3 years of Android updates, while Realme goes one better with 4 years. Both run custom skins based on Android 15 with good levels of personalisation and privacy controls. Gaming fans will also like that both phones support 120fps gameplay in popular titles like BGMI and Call of Duty: Neo 10 vs Realme GT 7: CameraThe iQOO Neo 10 comes with a dual-camera setup on the back — a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 32-megapixel selfie camera. The Realme GT 7 packs a bit more versatility with its triple-camera setup — including a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens for zoom shots, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and a same-resolution 32-megapixel front camera. Both support 4K video at 60fps on both front and rear cameras, which is a solid feature to have. While both phones offer good camera performance, the telephoto lens on the Realme GT 7 gives it an edge if you like zooming in without losing Neo 10 vs Realme GT 7: Battery and chargingadvertisementBoth phones are evenly matched when it comes to battery and charging. Each comes with a massive 7,000mAh battery, which should easily get you through a full day and more. They also support 120W fast charging, so topping them up takes around 40 minutes. Handy features like reverse-wired charging and bypass charging are available on both phones. No matter which one you pick, you're getting top-tier battery performance and quick charging Neo 10 vs Realme GT 7: Price in IndiaThe iQOO Neo 10 starts at Rs 31,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB model, going up to Rs 40,999 for the top-end 16GB + 512GB version. In comparison, the Realme GT 7 starts at a higher Rs 39,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model, with the 12GB + 512GB variant priced at Rs 46, Neo 10 vs Realme GT 7: Final thoughtsBoth phones offer top-class hardware at fairly reasonable prices, but the iQOO Neo 10 just makes more sense for most people. It's got a better chip, smoother and brighter display, and starts at a significantly lower price. The dedicated Q1 graphics chip gives it a bit more muscle for gaming and long-term use. That said, Realme has done a great job with the GT 7 — it feels premium, has an excellent camera setup, and its IP69 rating adds some extra peace of mind. But if you're after the best value, iQOO Neo 10 gets the thumbs up.
