With the launch of the iQOO Neo 10, the company has expanded the Neo 10 lineup in the Indian market. Back in March 2025, the iQOO Neo 10R made its debut in India. So with both models being budget flagships, here’s everything different about these two devices.
iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: Design and Display
In terms of design, you can immediately tell that both devices are a part of the same family. They appear quite similar, with a distinct rounded square camera module at the back. But while the Neo 10 comes in Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome, the Neo 10R is available in MoonKnight Titanium and Raging Blue options.
On the front, the similarities appear once again as both models sport a tall 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The iQOO Neo 10 has a few advantages, including a 4320Hz PWM dimming and higher peak brightness of 5500 nits. Interestingly, the iQOO Neo 10R brings a faster 480Hz touch sampling rate over the Neo 10’s 360Hz touch sampling rate.
Performance
In terms of performance, the iQOO Neo 10 easily takes the lead thanks to Qualcomm’s newer and more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC. The Neo 10R, on the other hand, packs the older Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The former also tops out at 16GB + 512GB, while the latter’s highest variant offers 12GB + 256GB only. Since the iQOO Neo 10 is a next gen processor, you get better performance and power efficiency overall. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 also brings a big update on graphical performance, making it a great chip for mobile gaming.
Battery & Charging
Even in terms of battery capacity and charging speeds, the Neo 10 has the advantage with a humongous 7,000mAh battery pack that supports 120W wired fast charging. The iQOO Neo 10R houses a smaller but still notable 6,400mAh cell, with support for slower 80W wired fast charging.
Pricing and Availability
As of right now, the iQOO Neo 10R sells in India for around 27,000 INR for the base 8GB + 128GB model. This makes it a great choice to consider for those looking for a gaming phone at a strict budget of under 30,000 INR. However, the new iQOO Neo 10 isn’t a lot more expensive as it starting from 31,999 INR for the 8GB + 128GB model. For a slightly higher price tag, you get a larger battery, faster charging, and a more advanced chipset that can handle gaming better.
