iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: India price, specs and features compared
The iQOO Neo 10 comes in two colour options — Titanium Chrome and Inferno Red. The red version has a dual-tone look, which at first glance might remind you of a new colour variant of the Neo 10R. And for those who don't know, before the Neo 10, iQOO had already launched the Neo 10R in India just a few months ago. That phone is a solid pick under Rs 30,000 and offers great value for money. But now, with the Neo 10 out, and priced only slightly higher, some people who just bought the Neo 10R might be feeling a bit bad, especially since the new model brings a few notable upgrades and extra features. Still, should you really regret it?advertisementIs the iQOO Neo 10 automatically the better phone just because it costs more? Or does the Neo 10R still make more sense by offering smarter value for its price? Here's a detailed comparison to help you Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: DesignBoth phones look quite similar when it comes to design. The camera layout is square on both, but the Neo 10 stands out slightly with a circular ring flash, while the Neo 10R sticks to a more regular flash module. The easiest way to tell them apart is by the colours. The Neo 10 comes in Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome, while the Neo 10R is offered in MoonKnight Titanium and Raging Blue. In terms of build, both phones use plastic frames and backs, and have the same thickness. However, the Neo 10 feels a bit more solid in the hand, weighing 206 grams compared to the lighter 196 grams of the Neo 10R. Overall though, apart from the colours and weight, they are quite similar in here - iQOO Neo 10 review: Raises the stakes and delivers great value, not just top-notch gamingiQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: DisplayadvertisementThe display on both phones is a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. However, the Neo 10 is technically brighter, with a peak brightness of 5,500 nits compared to 4,500 nits on the Neo 10R. The Neo 10 also has a slightly better HBM (2,000 nits vs 1,800 nits) and a higher PWM dimming rate of 4,320Hz compared to 3,820Hz on the Neo 10R. So, while both displays are good, the Neo 10 has the edge in both bright and low-light conditions, though the difference may not be huge for most Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: PerformanceIn terms of performance, the iQOO Neo 10R runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, while the Neo 10 comes with the newer Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. This is a noticeable jump in power. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 competes with higher-end chips like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9400e, and offers top-tier performance in its price segment. Both phones support UFS 4.1 storage and LPDDR5X RAM. But only the Neo 10 gives you the option of 16GB RAM with 512GB storage. For most users, the 8s Gen 3 is more than enough, but if you want flagship-level speed under Rs 40,000, the Neo 10 is clearly here - iQOO Neo 10R review: A well-rounded mid-range marveliQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: CameraadvertisementBoth phones feature the same camera hardware — a 50-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 32-megapixel front camera. Video recording at 4K/60fps is supported on both the front and back. However, thanks to a better image signal processor (ISP) on the Neo 10, you can expect slightly better image and video quality, even though the hardware is the Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: Battery and chargingBattery and charging is another area where the Neo 10 takes the lead. It has a massive 7,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging, while the Neo 10R comes with a 6,400mAh battery and 80W charging support. So, not only do you get more battery, but also faster charging with the Neo Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: Price in IndiaThe iQOO Neo 10 price in India starts at Rs 31,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage version. The 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 512GB variants cost Rs 33,999, Rs 35,999 and Rs 40,999, iQOO Neo 10R, on the other hand, is priced starting at Rs 26,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage version. The 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB variants are priced at Rs 28,999 and Rs 30,999, note, the base variants of both phones with 128GB storage offer the UFS 3.1 Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: Final thoughtsIn the end, the iQOO Neo 10 is clearly the more powerful and feature-rich phone, and justifies the higher price. But the Neo 10R still holds strong as a value-for-money device under Rs 30,000, with a great display, solid performance, and reliable cameras. If your budget is flexible and you want the best, the Neo 10 is the way to go. But if you want to save a few thousand and still get a great experience, the Neo 10R won't disappoint either.

iQOO Neo 10 review: Raises the stakes and delivers great value, not just top-notch gaming
The name iQOO has become synonymous with high-performance devices that don't make your wallet cry. This Vivo spin-off brand has carved out a nice little niche for itself in India's super-competitive smartphone market in a short span of time. It holds special repute and allegiance among gamers but, over the course of time, it has transitioned into a brand that goes beyond offering just a 'gamer's delight' to phones that punch above their weight class in other areas as other words, iQOO wants more people – not just gamers – to buy its phones and so it is making them accordingly. Its latest, iQOO Neo 10, is a classic example. Coming hot on the heels of the iQOO Neo 10R (and last year's fantastic Neo 9 Pro), this new mid-range phone from iQOO feels like a genuine step-up not just because it has better specs, but because of how mature it is as a product overall. It shows intent and focus and a great deal of commitment from iQOO to be more than what it used to be to someone who can take on and challenge some of the biggest brands in the industry. After spending some time with it, we can say with some surety that iQOO is on the right track. advertisement Before going into the specifics, here's a quick look at how the iQOO Neo 10 stacks up on paper: The iQOO Neo 10 marks the India debut of Qualcomm's freshly minted Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. Sequel to the Snapdragon 8s Gen from last year, the 8s Gen 4 features an octa-core setup with clock speeds reaching up to 3.21GHz. It has an Adreno 825 GPU. iQOO pairs it with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB storage. You get a massive 7,000mAh battery in this phone capable of fast charging at up to screen is a large 6.78-inch AMOLED with a 1.5K resolution (2800x1260p) with a dynamic refresh rate of up to 144Hz and peak brightness of 2,000 nits. It supports 10-bit colour and 4320Hz PWM dimming for comfortable night-time viewing. For protection, iQOO is using Schott Xensation Up photography, the iQOO Neo 10 has dual camera setup on the rear which is headlined by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 sensor with optically stabilised lens and another 8-megapixel sensor behind an ultrawide lens. On the front, it has a 32-megapixel selfie camera. Both the front and rear cameras support 4K and 1080p video recording at up to off the package is Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, dual SIM, in-display fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C, and NFC. Sleek looks, big batteryThe iQOO Neo 10's 7,000mAh battery can easily last for one and a half days even for the most demanding users while those with more balanced use can squeeze two days' worth out of it. And when you do need a top-up, it supports 120W fast charging (with compliant fast charger in the box). Just 15 minutes on the plug, and you get enough power to last a full battery phones themselves aren't hot news in this time and age, but very few brands make relatively slim phones with big batteries. The iQOO Neo 10 is one of those rare exceptions. Its 7,000mAh battery is one of its biggest highlights, but equally impressive is how iQOO has been able to put it inside a chassis that is – despite what you might think of it – easy to lug around in day to day. The design is a throwback to the iQOO Neo 10R which is mostly good news, though one wonders, how things would be if iQOO chose more premium materials like glass or even vegan leather which was seen on the iQOO Neo 9 Pro. advertisementDisplay: A feast for the eyesThe iQOO Neo 10 has a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen. It can top 2,000 nits (high brightness mode) which means even under Delhi's blazing noon sun, you won't find yourself squinting to read a text on the phone. Whether you're watching something on Netflix or gaming, it holds its own beautifully. HDR playback is available on compatible apps like Amazon Prime and Netflix. The 144Hz dynamic refresh rate keeps interactions smooth and jitter-free most of the time. I played demanding games like BGMI, Genshin Impact and COD Mobile, all of which ran with high graphics and frame rate settings without breaking any sweat. During our testing, the phone didn't heat up much either, a good sign for long-term gaming sessions. BGMI on highest settings did seem to drain the battery quickly but the drop wasn't outside gaming, the phone keeps up with daily tasks like a champ. Switching between email, Spotify, Instagram, and Chrome was seamless. For power users who like juggling several apps at once, the iQOO Neo 10 is more than capable. A solid performer for gaming, and otherwiseAs we've already made quite clear in this review, the iQOO Neo 10 goes beyond just being a gaming phone -- it's a solid all-rounder. But here's the thing: good performance is almost expected from a mid-range iQOO phone. They're somewhat known for that. Even so, the performance on the Neo 10 is worth talking about. And that's largely because the phone debuts Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, which is built on TSMC's 4nm process, the same one used for the Snapdragon 8 Gen pairs this with its own Q1 chip, which handles the graphics side of things. So what does that actually do? It enables 1.5K super resolution in over 20 games and supports 144FPS frame rates. Thanks to the Q1 chip, you also get new animations in Ultra Game Mode and real-time FPS tracking. In simple words: when you're playing high-frame-rate games, the chip helps deliver ultra-low latency for a smoother, faster response. advertisementWe also ran a few benchmark tests on the device and the results were interesting. We compared it with the benchmark results of the iQOO 12, which is priced much higher and is currently selling at around Rs 45,000 in India (after discounts). It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. And in some tests, the iQOO Neo 10 was able to outperform the iQOO instance, in GeekBench 6 test, the iQOO 12 scored 2157 in single, while the iQOO Neo 10 got a score of 2153, which is very close. In multicore, however, the iQOO 12 scored a 6639 and the iQOO Neo 10 scored a in the Wild Life Stress test on 3D mark, the iQOO 12 in our tests got a score of 12220, while the iQOO Neo 10 scored 12405.A big part of the phone's performance is also based on its interface, and for that iQOO uses Funtouch OS 15, which is based on Android 15. The OS does come with a fair amount of bloatware, but the good thing is that the majority of these apps can be uninstalled. Camera surprisesThe camera setup is another area where iQOO seems to have worked diligently to leave a long-lasting impression (and break stereotypes). The main 50-megapixel sensor delivers very good shots, in both daylight and low-light conditions. The processing is up-to-task balancing exposure and enhancing colours by just the right amount without going overboard, resulting in photos that seem to prefer realism, not something AI would shots come out clean with good subject separation. Even tricky lighting situations are handled decently. In low light, the shutter speed can slow down a touch, so you will need a steady hand. But overall, the camera holds up well, and I reckon that it will be more than enough for most a value for money deviceThe iQOO Neo 10 offers a big, bright display, flagship-tier performance, long-lasting battery, and strong camera system, all of which come together to deliver a phone that punches well above its weight. We can confidently recommend it to anyone who is seeking a 'do-it-all' smartphone that does anything you throw at it, mostly with ease. It may look like a gaming phone to some people – and it is in some ways – but it is also a phone that delivers great value for people who seek something dependable without breaking the bank.(iQOO has announced some pre-booking offers that can get you a discount between Rs 2,000 to Rs 4,000 depending on your eligibility.
