Update: The iQOO Neo 10 is set to launch in India on May 26. The brand has confirmed that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset alongside the Q1 Supercomputing chip. Additionally, the device will pack a 7000mAh battery.

iQOO is preparing to launch its next mid-range smartphone, the iQOO Neo 10, in India. After the recent introduction of the iQOO Neo 10R, the company is now setting its sights on bringing the Neo 10 to Indian consumers.

Teasers have already started appearing on X (formerly Twitter), offering glimpses of its design and suggesting that the launch is not far off.

iQOO Neo 10 Design and Display

The iQOO Neo 10 is expected to come with a 6.78-inch TCL C9+ 1.5K AMOLED display, featuring a 144Hz refresh rate. According to reports, the screen will offer a 5500 nits peak brightness, which should help with visibility in bright conditions. The display is flat and protected by Schott Diamond Shield glass, which is known for its scratch resistance and durability.

The phone is designed with a plastic frame, which helps keep its weight at 206g while maintaining a thickness of 8.09mm. In terms of aesthetics, iQOO has confirmed two color options for the Indian market: Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome.

Performance and Hardware

Under the hood, the iQOO Neo 10 is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. This chipset is supported by an Independent Gaming Chip Q1, which is intended to improve gaming performance by optimizing frame rates and reducing thermal load.

The device is expected to feature LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, both of which are designed to offer faster data transfer rates and smoother multitasking. This combination is aimed at users who prioritize performance in their daily use, whether for gaming or heavy multitasking.

Battery and Charging

One of the key highlights of the Neo 10 is its 7,000mAh battery, which is larger than what is typically seen in this category. Paired with 120W fast charging, it is expected to charge quickly despite its large capacity. The device is likely to use a USB 2.0 Type-C port for charging and data transfer.

Software and Connectivity

The iQOO Neo 10 is anticipated to run on FunTouch OS 15, which is based on Android 15. In terms of connectivity, the device is expected to support WiFi 7, NFC, Bluetooth 6.0, and an IR Blaster. For security, it is rumored to include an optical in-display fingerprint sensor.

For audio, the phone is set to feature dual stereo speakers. Vibration feedback is handled by an X-axis linear motor, designed for clearer and more precise haptic responses. Additionally, the device is expected to carry an IP65 rating, which offers protection against dust and minor water exposure.

Camera Setup

On the back, the iQOO Neo 10 is expected to come equipped with a 50MP Sony LYT600 primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), paired with an 8MP ultra-wide lens. For selfies, the front camera is expected to be a 16MP sensor.

The camera layout is straightforward, focusing on delivering reliable photography and video quality without excessive emphasis on multiple sensors. The primary camera is expected to focus on clarity and stability, particularly in low-light conditions.

Launch Timeline and Sneak Peek Event

iQOO has announced Sneak Peek Events in Mumbai and Madurai on May 18th. These events are set to give fans an early look at the device before its official release. Attendees will have the opportunity to test the phone's features and experience its design firsthand.

The official launch is anticipated to happen a few days after the event, with pre-orders likely to begin soon.

Expected Price

The iQOO Neo 10 is expected to be priced at under ₹35,000 in India. This positions it in the mid-range category, targeting users who are looking for a high-refresh display, strong processing power, and extended battery life.

Lastly, the phone will be available on Amazon and iQOO's own official store.
