The phone brings a strong mix of performance, battery life, and display quality, positioned at a price point that continues iQOO's strategy of offering premium features at accessible rates.

On benchmarking platforms like AnTuTu and Geekbench, the phone received scores, showing its solid capability and power. It achieved a score of about 2 million on Antutu and over 7,000 in multi-core performance test on Geekbench. These numbers are relatively higher than the premium Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered phones that are selling at around Rs 40,000 or more. For users focused on gaming, multitasking or heavy usage, the iQOO Neo 10 can offer smooth and powerful performance at a price of around Rs 30,000.advertisement
-One of the key selling points of the iQOO Neo 10 is its 7,000mAh battery, which comfortably lasts a full day even with screen-heavy tasks like gaming and video streaming. For users who are on their phones all day, this is a clear advantage.-To complement the large battery, iQOO includes a 120W fast charger in the box. The company claims the phone can charge from zero to full in about 26 minutes. That kind of charging speed is rare at this price point.-You also get a great 10-bit display in its price range that only some phones offer. It has a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. It is quite bright, with a peak brightness of 5500nits and 2000nits of local brightness. It even has a high PWM dimming rate of 4,320Hz, meaning you can expect a flicker-free panel while using the phone in dim light. The colours and contrast of the panel are also quite lively. In short, you are getting a great display (for the price) with minimal bezels around.-Even though the Neo 10 uses a plastic body, it doesn't feel flimsy. The design is clean, the bezels are minimal, and it's reasonably slim at 8.09mm despite having a large battery. Weighing around 206 grams, it still feels comfortable for long usage sessions.iQOO Neo 10: 1 reason to skipadvertisementWhile the hardware is impressive, the software could be a sticking point for some buyers. The phone runs on Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15. Though smooth in day-to-day use, it comes with some pre-installed apps (bloatware), and not all of them can be removed. The built-in app store and browser, in particular, are fixed. Another small drawback is the lack of a proper proximity sensor, which might affect the calling experience. It's primarily used to sense when the phone is held near the user's ear during a call and automatically turn off the display to prevent accidental touch inputs and conserve battery life. While these are not a deal breaker, one needs to keep these points in mind.ConclusionIf you can live with the software quirks, the iQOO Neo 10 is a powerful all-rounder that offers excellent value in its segment. For users seeking strong performance, battery life, and display quality in the sub-Rs 35,000 range, this is a phone worth considering.
