iQOO has officially announced that the iQOO Neo 10 will launch in India on May 26. This much-anticipated smartphone is bringing several upgrades and unique features to the mid-premium segment, including a powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and iQOO’s in-house Q1 gaming chip. While the phone shares its name with the Chinese variant, the Indian model will come with a few hardware differences tailored to the market.
Launch and Design
The iQOO Neo 10 is confirmed to arrive in two colour options — Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome. According to the Amazon microsite, the device will feature a squircle-shaped camera module with dual cameras and a ring-style LED flash.
It will have an 8.09mm slim profile, making it the thinnest smartphone in India to feature a massive 7,000mAh battery. Despite the large battery, the phone is designed to remain comfortable for everyday use without feeling bulky in hand.
Display and Gaming
The Neo 10 will focus heavily on mobile gaming. It is said to support 144fps gaming, which is currently unmatched in its segment. While the exact display specs haven’t been officially revealed, the phone is expected to offer a high refresh rate AMOLED panel, possibly with LTPO technology based on past iQOO launches.
To maintain performance during extended gameplay, iQOO has added a 7,000mm² vapour chamber cooling system, which should help control thermals and sustain higher frame rates. It will also support bypass charging, allowing power to flow directly to the system instead of heating the battery during gaming.
Performance
The phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, Qualcomm’s next-gen upper-tier flagship processor. It will work alongside iQOO’s Q1 gaming chip, designed to optimise frame stability, touch response, and heat dissipation during gameplay.
Additional highlights include:
- LPDDR5X Ultra RAM
- UFS 4.1 storage
This combination is ideal for multitasking, gaming, and handling heavy applications with ease.

Charging and Battery
The iQOO Neo 10 comes with a 7,000mAh battery, a huge capacity for a performance-focused phone. It supports 120W wired fast charging, which should charge the battery from 0 to 100% in around 30 minutes or less, based on similar models.
Bypass charging will further help gamers by reducing battery heat during intense gaming sessions. This tech directs power straight to the processor instead of the battery, maintaining device efficiency and health.
Cameras
The Indian variant of the iQOO Neo 10 is teased to feature a dual rear camera setup. While exact specs haven’t been confirmed, the Chinese version of the Neo 10 came with:
- 50MP primary camera
- 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens
- 16MP front-facing camera
We can expect a similar camera configuration in the Indian model, though slight differences could be introduced for regional preferences.
With a massive battery, 144fps gaming support, next-gen Snapdragon chip, and fast charging tech, the iQOO Neo 10 is shaping up to be one of the most powerful mid-range gaming smartphones in India. While the price is yet to be revealed, all signs point to a highly competitive offering.
