iQOO launched the Neo9 and Neo9 Pro in India back in February last year. The successors were launched in China towards the end of last year as normal, but there hasn’t been much information about the availability in India. Surprisingly, the brand is preparing a new model under the Neo10 series, the Neo10R, which will launch in India ‘soon’. The confirmation comes from Nipun Marya, the CEO of iQOO India.
iQOO Neo10R back design confirmed
He made a post on Twitter yesterday stating “The game-changer is here” with a poster that includes the Neo 10R naming and reveals a two-tone design. Notably, the bottom half portion looks somewhat similar to the Neo10 and Neo10 Pro, with the dotted structure, vertical iQOO branding (unlike the Neo9 series), and the Neo branding below the camera module. Upon closer inspection, the image also confirms the previously rumored switch to a square camera island design.
To be fair, iQOO took a big shift in design in only one generation. First, the brand integrated the individual camera modules within a rectangular camera island. Now it’s opting for a much larger and conventional looking back design. While this is a design update, I personally feel like the Neo series will be losing part of its identity with this redesign. However, it could also be a strategic move to differentiate the ‘R’ model from the standard and Pro models, which, in my opinion, look more premium.
As for the performance, the company has already confirmed the use of Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. For reference, the Neo10 and Neo10 Pro (in China) equips the Snapdragon 8 gen 3 and Dimensity 9400 chips respectively. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is considered a “cut-down” or scaled-down version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. You can learn more about the differences here.
