iQOO Neo 10 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Abhik Sengupta]()
Verdict
The iQOO Neo 10 testifies that iQOO is moving beyond just being a gaming-focused brand. While its core strength still lies in raw performance thanks to the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, it also offers capable cameras, solid battery life, and a noticeably improved user interface. That said, iQOO still needs to reduce the number of native apps pre-installed. I would have also appreciated a few more colour options.
Pros
- Solid performance
- Punchy display
- Decent cameras
- Speedy charging
Cons
- No telephoto camera
- Pre-installed apps
Design and display
+
Much like the iQOO Neo 10R and last year's iQOO Neo 9 Pro (review), iQOO's latest offering doesn't bring significant design changes. The company continues to offer limited colour options, with each variant presenting a distinct aesthetic. The Inferno Red option, which I reviewed, is the flashier of the two, featuring a bright finish and racing-inspired accents on the back. Personally, I prefer the Titanium Chrome variant for its more refined and elegant appeal. That said, a white colour option would have looked excellent with this design.

Unlike most rivals in the segment, iQOO takes a safe and modest approach with its camera setup. The iQOO Neo 10 features dedicated wide and ultra-wide cameras, but skips a telephoto lens, a norm in smartphones priced above Rs 25,000. To compensate, iQOO labels its 50MP main sensor as a "portrait camera." It's paired with an 8MP "wide" lens. On the front, there's a 32MP selfie camera capable of recording videos at 4K 60fps.

As mentioned, performance remains a core focus across iQOO devices, and the Neo 10 is no exception. It is the first smartphone in India to feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, the successor to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 that powers the Neo 10R. The Neo 10 is available in multiple storage configurations, with the top-end variant offering 16GB LPDDR5x Ultra RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage (Rs 40,999), a first in this price segment. However, due to system files and pre-installed apps, users have about 470GB of usable storage, which is still ample for storing thousands of photos, notes, apps, and other media.
