iQOO Neo 10 And iQoo Neo 10 Pro Specifications
Both smartphones flaunt a 6.78-inch 8T AMOLED screen with curved edges. Further, the screen supports up to 144Hz refresh rate (with LTPO technology). Like the recent Chinese flagships, the iQoo Neo 10 series can reach up to 4,500 nits of peak brightness. Last but not least, the screen has 453 ppi.
Under the hood, the vanilla iQoo Neo 10 features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, the same processor that powers the Android flagships that came out in early 2024, including the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The iQoo Neo 10 Pro, on the other hand, features the newer Dimensity 9400 SoC, MediaTek’s latest chipset that powers the newly-launched Vivo X200 series.
Besides the capable processors, both phones have iQOO’s Q2 gaming chip, which helps in frame interpolation (up to 144 frames per second using AI-powered technology), enables super-resolution, and balances the power consumption and performance during gaming. The company’s flagship smartphone, the iQOO 13 with Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, also features the Q2 chip for enhanced performance.
Besides the capable processors, both the models ship with at least 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which goes all the way up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Regarding optics, both smartphones have the Sony IMX921 50MP (f/1.88, OIS) sensor as their main camera. However, the ultrawide camera on the Neo 10 is an 8MP shooter, while that on the Neo 10 Pro is a 50M (with OIS) shooter.

Regarding battery life, the Neo 10 and the Neo 10 Pro feature a 6,100 mAh battery that supports 120W wired charging. However, the company hasn’t included any type of wireless or reverse wireless charging on the handsets. Connectivity options on the handsets include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth v5.4, GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C port. Even though both phones support face unlock, they also feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.
Out of the box, both phones run on OriginOS 5.0, based on Android 15. However, if the brand decides to launch it in India, we’ll see a FuntouchOS user interface instead of OriginOS 5.0.
