iQOO Neo 10R Confirmed to Launch Under ₹30,000, Achieves 1.7 Million AnTuTu Score: Check Design, Specs

The iQOO Neo 10R is officially set to launch in India on March 11, marking the arrival of the first R-branded device in the Neo series. While iQOO hasn't revealed the exact price yet, the company has confirmed that the phone will fall under the sub-₹30,000 segment.

Performance is a big focus with this one. According to iQOO, the Neo 10R has scored over 1.7 million points on AnTuTu, making it the highest-scoring phone in its price range-at least as of March 2025. That's a bold claim, but with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 under the hood, it might not be far off the mark.

Flagship Performance at a Mid-Range Price?

iQOO has been building a reputation for bringing flagship-grade performance to more affordable price points, and the Neo 10R seems to continue that trend.

Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, the phone is expected to deliver solid gaming performance and smooth multitasking. The 4nm chipset should help with efficiency as well, meaning you can expect better power management compared to older models.

iQOO's teaser on X (formerly Twitter) called it the "most powerful smartphone in the segment", but a disclaimer clarified that this is based on AnTuTu scores for phones under ₹30,000 as of March 2025. We'll have to wait for independent testing to see if it holds up.

Design and Color Options

iQOO had earlier revealed the color options for the Neo 10R:

• Moonknight Titanium - A glossy silver/grey finish, which could have a metallic look.

• Raging Blue - A dual-tone design, which might stand out more for those who like vibrant finishes.

Display, Cameras, and Battery Life

Based on leaks and previous iQOO releases, here's what we might see:

• A 6.78-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, making it great for gaming and fast scrolling.

• A 50MP primary camera with a Sony LYT-600 sensor, paired with an 8MP ultrawide lens.

• A 16MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

• A 6,400mAh battery with 80W wired charging, ensuring you don't have to keep it plugged in for long.

iQOO will reveal the official pricing and full specs on March 11, so we'll soon find out if it truly lives up to the hype.
