The post These Are the Biggest Competitors of the OnePlus Nord 5 appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The post iQOO Neo 10 India Launch Set for May 26: AnTuTu Score & Price Point Revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

iQOO has officially confirmed that the iQOO Neo 10 will debut in India on May 26. It will be the first smartphone in the country to feature the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. The microsites on both Amazon India and iQOO India’s official websites have now been updated, revealing detailed specifications of the upcoming device. Here’s a breakdown of all the features that have been confirmed so far.

IQOO Neo 10 key specifications confirmed

The iQOO Neo 10 is being promoted as the fastest phone in its category, thanks to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 platform. The CPU and GPU performance is claimed to be up by 31% and 49% respectively over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 from last year. On AnTuTu, it scores over 2.42 million, beating competitors like the Dimensity 9300+, Dimensity 8400 Ultra, and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.

To match this flagship-level performance, the Neo 10 will be equipped with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring faster data transfers and app installs. A recent  Geekbench sighting of the phone revealed that it will be equipped with 12GB of RAM. For gamers, the phone offers 144fps gaming capabilities and includes the custom Q1 supercomputing chip for esports-level gaming optimization.

Another highlight is its advanced thermal system – a massive 7000mm² vapour chamber cooling system that maintains stable temperatures during prolonged gaming sessions. It also supports bypass charging, allowing users to play while charging without excess heat.

What makes it even more impressive is its 7,000mAh battery packed into a sleek 8.9mm chassis, making it the slimmest phone in the segment with this battery capacity. It supports 120W fast charging for quick top-ups.

The iQOO Neo 10 will be available in two colors – Inferno Red and Chrome Titanium. Though official pricing is yet to be confirmed, it’s expected to be priced around Rs 35,000 to 40,000. The Neo 10 is likely to compete with the upcoming Poco F7, which is also rumored to house the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip.

The post iQOO Neo 10 key specifications officially revealed, 7,000mAh battery, 120W charging, 144fps gaming, and more confirmed appeared first on Gizmochina.

iQOO launched the Neo 10R in India on March 11, and the Neo 10 is now confirmed to launch on May 26 in two color options: Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome. The Amazon listing also reveals the key specifications of the phone.

First of all, this isn’t the same as the Chinese iQOO Neo10, which launched back in November. Instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used in the Chinese version, the Indian variant is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. For context, this is the same chip that powers the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro, which is also exclusive to China. In fact, the Neo 10 (India) is speculated to be a tweaked version of the Z series device. According to iQOO, the upcoming device scores over 2 million on AnTuTu, which is impressive.

The phone comes with a “Dual Chip Power” tagline, and the secondary chip is the Supercomputing Chip Q1—the same one that enables 144fps gaming on the iQOO Neo 9 Pro. To recall, the recently released iQOO Neo 10R lacks this secondary chip and the MEMC feature.

This dual-chip setup is paired with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. iQOO claims 36% higher data transfer speeds and 49% faster app installation—though they didn’t clarify which phone these figures are compared against. However, they did clearly state that this will be the “segment’s first 144fps gaming smartphone.”

All of this is powered by a 7000mAh battery, another plus point carried over from the Z10 Turbo Pro. It supports 120W wired fast charging and bypass charging for long gaming sessions. For those unfamiliar, this feature lets your phone draw power directly from the adapter, helping reduce heat generation and preserve battery health.

While pricing is still under wraps, the “segment’s first 144fps gaming smartphone” tagline suggests it will be priced lower than the Neo 9 Pro, which launched at ₹35,999.

It is likely that the device could be equipped with the halo light feature, a dynamic lighting effect around the camera module

The second teaser reinforces the “Dual Chip Power” message with “Revealing Soon,” featuring a blurred background that teases two chipsets, which appear to be a dedicated display chip alongside what appears to be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip. Rumors suggest it could be a rebranded or tweaked version of the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro. It is likely that the Neo 10 may go official as India’s first Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 phone.

iQOO Neo 10 specifications

Speculating based on the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro, the iQOO Neo 10 may feature a 6.78-inch OLED display that produces a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device will feature a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage, and a 7,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging.

The Neo 10 will run on FunTouch OS 15-based Android 15. For photography, the device could be equipped with a 32-megapixel front camera and an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) dual-camera setup.

iQOO Neo 10 price in India

In February, iQOO unveiled the Neo 10R for Rs 29,999 (~$350) in India. With improved specs, the Neo 10 could be priced around Rs 40,000 (~$470), positioning it as a competitive mid-premium smartphone in India.

The post iQOO Neo 10 teasers begin, could be India’s first Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 phone appeared first on Gizmochina.

iQOO is seemingly gearing up to launch the iQOO Neo 10 for the global market. This phone will be different from the Chinese version of the phone that debuted in December last year. Reports surrounding the Neo 10’s global version suggest that it could be a rebranded or tweaked version of the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro, which debuted recently in China. In recent days, the global Neo 10 has received approval in India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Now, it has also received approval from the UAE’s TDRA certification platform. Additionally, it has also received approval from the TUV certification, revealing its fast-charging capabilities.

iQOO Neo 10’s new variant receives TDRA, TUV certification

The previous sightings of the iQOO Neo 10’s global version, including its appearance at Bluetooth SIG and Geekbench, mentioned the device with its I2405 model number. However, as can be seen in the above screenshot, the Neo 10 has appeared with a different model number—I2408—in the database of the UAE’s TDRA authority.

The other screenshot is the TUV certification of the I2408 variant. It reveals that the device may come with support for 120W fast charging. The new certifications have no information about the other specs of the device.

iQOO Neo 10 specifications (rumored)

As per the Geekbench listing of the device, the Neo 10 will feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and Android 15. Given that it could be based on the Z10 Turbo Pro, it may ship with a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It may pack a 7,000mAh battery and come with up to 256GB of storage.

For photography, the device may feature a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel dual-camera setup on the back. On the front, it may feature a 32-megapixel selfie camera like the Neo 10R instead of a 16-megapixel snapper available on the Z10 Turbo Pro.

Design and display

The Neo10 series might look familiar to the users of last year’s Neo9 series due to its nearly identical flat design. However, there are a couple of interesting changes. The top and side bezels are now slimmer, which measures at only 1.4mm. While the middle frame is still made of plastic, the camera island on the back comes with a design overhaul, and the vegan leather version also offers a new look.

Moving on to the display, both the iQOO Neo10 and Neo10 Pro feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K+ 144Hz 8T LTPO flat screen. The display is engineered for vibrant color reproduction and smooth visuals, making it perfect for both gaming and media consumption.

A recent Weibo post by DCS has revealed the design of the Neo 10 series through a leaked schematic. Additionally, the iQOO Product Manager has confirmed the fast-charging capabilities of the entire series.

iQOO Neo 10 series design, fast charging capabilities

The leaked schematic reveals that the design of the upcoming iQOO Neo 10 series is quite similar to the Neo 9 series from last year, with minimal changes. It features a flat display with a smaller punch-hole for the front camera, narrower bezels, and uniform widths on the top, left, and right sides, making it one of the slimmest in the industry.

On the rear, the camera module has undergone a minor redesign, now featuring a more pronounced texture for a premium feel, enhancing the overall aesthetic while maintaining the familiar build of the Neo 9 series.

The other image in this post is the official poster that the iQOO Product Manager has released. It reveals that the entire series will support 120W rapid charging. The lineup is expected to include the Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro, and possibly an entry-level third model.

The poster claims that the Neo 10 series is one of the thinnest and lightest performance-driven flagships. According to DCS’ leak, the Neo 10 series will weigh approximately the same as its predecessor. To recall, the Neo 9 series measures around 190 grams to 196 grams.

According to reports, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9400 chipsets power the iQOO Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro, respectively. Both devices are also said to feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K 144Hz OLED screen and a 6,100mAh battery.

Now tipster DCS has shared the schematic of the iQOO Neo10 series along with the display specifications.

Schematic shows a redesigned camera module and more

According to DCS, the Neo10 series will sport a 6.78-inch flat display with a smaller punch-hole for the front camera and thinner bezels, providing a clean and immersive display experience. The design of the rear camera module has been slightly modified, incorporating a more textured decorative finish, adding a premium feel to the device.

Additionally, the Neo10 series has reportedly inherited software features from iQOO 13, which may include optimizations for display quality and touch responsiveness alongside the new animation and other visual enhancements of the Android 15-based OriginOS 5 skin.

Key specifications and features of the iQOO Neo10 series

In terms of internal specs, the iQOO Neo10 series has recently passed its 3C certification, marking a significant step toward its release. Reports suggest that the standard Neo10 model will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while the Pro variant may come equipped with the Dimensity 9400 processor. This is also a reasonable upgrade from the Snapdragon 8 Gen2/Dimensity 9300 chips of the Neo9 series. Both models are expected to support 120W super flash charging.

The fast charging is rumored to be paired with a larger 6100mAh battery, a noticeable upgrade from the 5160mAh capacity of the previous generation. This increase in battery size, combined with efficient power management of the more efficient chips should significantly improve battery life, which will be beneficial for intense gaming sessions.

Additionally, the device is rumored to come with a Goodix ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, offering faster and more reliable unlocking.

On the camera front, the iQOO Neo10 series is rumored to feature a 16MP front camera, alongside a dual rear setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor and an additional 50MP lens. The primary sensor is anticipated to be 1/1.56” in size, slightly smaller than the 1/1.49″ main sensor of the Neo9 Pro. However, both the chips come with improved ISPs. So we cannot classify the camera segment as a downgrade yet.

As pricing remains a concern, Digital Chat Station reassured users that the Neo10 series will be positioned competitively. With the iQOO 13 rumored to start at 3,999 yuan, the Neo10 series could offer a high-value alternative for users seeking flagship-level features (such as iQOO 13’s SuperComputing Chip Q2) without the premium price.

Overall, the iQOO Neo10 series appears to bring a couple of enticing features and improvements, especially for mobile gamers and performance-focused users.

The iQOO Neo 10 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, while the Pro model might come equipped with the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC. Both models recently appeared on China’s 3C certification listings and are reported to support 120W fast charging.

Judging from the performance of the Neo9 Pro, the upcoming devices should be capable of handling almost all the heavy titles without breaking the bank.

For those unfamiliar, the SuperComputing chips offer two primary benefits: upscaling game rendering resolution (known as super-resolution) and achieving up to 144fps in supported frame-capped games (through game frame interpolation). While enabling these features increases power consumption, they provide a high-performance experience that stands out in this price segment.

Additional features and specifications

The phone will feature a 6.78-inch flat display built with 8T LTPO technology. It features a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, enabling fluid visuals and rapid response times essential for gaming.

The iQOO Neo10 Pro could offer a robust memory configuration, with options for up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, which ensures ample space for gaming, media, and other intensive applications.
