When the iQoo Neo 10 series was unveiled in China a few days ago, it was speculated that at least one of the models will make it to other countries. Now, a leak has revealed that iQoo will indeed launch a new Neo 10 series smartphone outside China. However, the phone's name seems to hint at it being a rebadge of the existing Neo 10 smartphones or a different device entirely.
According to a post on X by tipster, Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd), iQoo will launch a new smartphone called the iQoo Neo 10R. The device will be announced in India and will be available in three configurations. The base model will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while the second will have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The highest configuration will have 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

While this is the first time the Neo series will be getting an R model, there are not enough details to know if it is a rebadge of the iQoo Neo 10 or the iQoo Neo 10 Pro. Manufacturers are known to launch the same device in different markets under different names, and an example is the Chinese version of the iQoo Neo 9 which is sold in India as the iQoo Neo 9 Pro (available on Amazon India for ₹35,999).
It is also possible that the iQoo Neo 10R is a different device from the iQoo Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro sold in China. Nevertheless, more details should surface as the launch of the device draws close.
The date of the iQoo Neo 10R's launch in India is currently unknown. It hasn't released any teasers yet but it doesn't seem like it will be announced on December 3 alongside the iQoo 13.
