iQOO has officially launched the iQOO Neo 10R in India. It is a powerful gaming-centric smartphone with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, a 144Hz AMOLED display, and a massive 6400mAh battery. This device is designed to deliver high-end performance while maintaining an aggressive price point.
The iQOO Neo 10R sports a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. However, the UI is limited to 120Hz and 144Hz is available only in select games. The screen boasts 4500 nits peak brightness, HDR10+ support, and Schott Xensation Up glass protection for durability.
The Raging Blue variant features a dual-tone pixel texture inspired by racing tracks, while the MoonKnight Titanium variant offers a sleek and premium feel. The phone is just 7.98mm thin, weighs 196g, and comes with IP65 dust and splash resistance.
It is powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and has up to 12GB LPDDR5x RAM and up to 256GB UFS 4.1 storage. The 6043mm² canopy VC liquid cooling ensures efficient thermal management during extended gaming sessions. While the phone lacks an independent display chip like the Neo9 Pro, iQOO states that its focus is on providing stable FPS performance rather than boosting FPS artificially.
The dual-camera setup on the back features a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The primary camera supports 4K 60fps recording, while the ultra-wide camera helps capture broader shots with minimal distortion. For selfies, the 32MP front camera (GC32E1-WA1XA sensor) offers 4K 30fps video recording.
The smartphone has stereo speakers with Hi-Res Audio support. It also has 4D Game Vibration for an immersive experience. The smartphone also includes an IR Blaster and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Connectivity options are 5G/NSA, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, GLONASS, NavIC, and USB Type-C 2.0.
It packs a 6400mAh battery which is impressive given the slim form factor of the phone. The phone supports 80W fast charging. It can charge up to 50% in just 26 minutes and 100% in under an hour. It also supports 7.5W reverse charging. The battery health remains at ≥80% even after 1600 charge cycles.

- ₹26,999 for 8GB + 128GB
- ₹28,999 for 8GB + 256GB
