Following the launch of the iQoo 13, iQoo has announced the Neo10 and Neo10 Pro as more affordable phones with flagship chipsets. The two phones share a lot in common such as a hi-res display, a massive battery with fast charging, and a proprietary chip that improves the graphics of mobile games.

iQoo has announced new models in its Neo series of smartphones. The new iQoo Neo10 and iQoo Neo10 Pro arrive as successors to the iQoo Neo9 and Neo9 Pro and as more affordable alternatives to the iQOO 13. Both phones pack impressive features and competitive price tags.

The iQoo Neo10 and iQoo Neo10 Pro share a lot in common, but like their predecessors, they are powered by different chipsets. The iQoo Neo10 has Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the same chipset inside the OnePlus 12 (curr. available on Amazon for $549.99) while the iQoo Neo10 Pro is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 processor.

In addition to their individual chipsets, both phones have an iQoo Q2 gaming chip, a proprietary chipset that improves the resolution of mobile games to PC-grade and helps maintain a stable frame rate of 144fps.

Both the iQoo Neo10 and iQoo Neo10 Pro have a 6.78-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED display with a 2800 x 1260 resolution, a 144Hz refresh, 2592Hz high-frequency dimming, and a peak brightness of 4500 nits. There's no mention of the type of screen protection they have but underneath both displays is an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

The iQoo Neo10 and Neo10 Pro are equipped with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. Both phones are available with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Despite their design, the phones have only two rear cameras. The primary sensor is a 50MP Sony IMX921 sensor with OIS and it is paired with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera on the iQoo Neo 10. The pro model gets a higher resolution 50MP ultrawide angle camera.

iQoo has equipped both phones with a dual-cell Blue Ocean battery with a combined capacity of 6,100mAh. They also boast its Blue Volt technology which helps extend battery life using AI. Both phones support 120W fast wired charging with the included proprietary charger. Owners can also get up to 100W using a third-party PD (Power Delivery) or PPS (Programmable Power Supply) charger.

The iQoo Neo10 series ships with OriginOS 5 based on Android 15. iQoo claims that the phone should remain fast and smooth for up to 5 years but doesn't say how many years of software support it will receive. The iQoo Neo10 and Neo10 Pro also have Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 7, and a USB 2.0 Type-C port. The phones are available to buy in Black, White, and Rally Orange.
