Vivo’s performance-focused sub-brand iQOO has launched its latest midrange smartphone, the iQOO Neo 10R, in India. The company’s new performance-centric midrange smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor paired with an Adreno 735 GPU, up to 12 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of internal storage with no room for storage expansion. It runs Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 out of the box. Speaking of software support, iQOO promises three major OS updates (Android 16, 17, and 18) and four years of security patches.
The 5G-enabled gaming smartphone houses a large 6,400 mAh battery that supports 80 W wired and 7.5 W reverse charging. Despite being a gaming smartphone, iQOO packs some decent camera lenses into the smartphone. The Neo 10R features a dual rear camera setup at the back consisting of a 50 MP Sony IMX882 main sensor with OIS and an 8 MP ultrawide shooter. On the camera front, it has a 32 MP camera for capturing selfies and video chats.
Furthermore, the device sports a 6.78-inch display. This AMOLED screen has a resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels, a refresh rate of 144 Hz, and a peak brightness of up to 4500 nits. Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, a 6043 mm² canopy liquid cooling system, IP65 dust and flash resistance, stereo speakers, and WiFi-6 connectivity.
Available in Racing Blue (with a dual-tone finish and racing-inspired design) and MoonKnight Titanium (with a 3D moon texture), the iQOO Neo 10R is now available for pre-order via Amazon. The Neo 10R is priced at Rs 26,999 (~$309.50) for the base 8 GB + 128 GB model, while the high-end 12 GB + 256 GB variant costs Rs 30,999 (~$355.36). Open sales will start on 19th March via the iQOO online store and Amazon.
