Vivo's latest performance flagship is designed to stand out from the competition primarily through its strong price-performance ratio. The design, with its flat bezel, rectangular camera module and punch-hole display, could hardly be more inconspicuous; only the blue variant features a slightly more striking design element with a pixel-style back.
The highlight of the specs is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is intended to provide the iQOO Neo 10 Pro+ with first-class gaming performance, especially in conjunction with the Vivo Q2 chip, which controls the refresh rate of the 6.82-inch display. The LTPO AMOLED panel reaches a resolution of 3,168 x 1,440 and a refresh rate of 144 Hz; Vivo hasn't provided any details on brightness. A total of 23 network bands should allow the smartphone to establish a stable network connectivity in most parts of the world.
Wi-Fi 7 is designed to ensure faster game downloads and lower latency in multiplayer games, while the 6,800 mAh battery should also provide long battery life while gaming. Charging is via USB-C with up to 120 watts. The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is hidden in the display. Vivo has cut corners in other areas – the casing is only IP65 certified and not completely waterproof. In addition to a 16 MP main camera and a 50 MP main camera with OIS, the manufacturer only includes an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera.
