In India, iQOO is preparing to launch its latest high-performance smartphone series. This includes the iQOO 13 5G and the iQOO Neo 10 series handsets. The iQOO 13 5G was launched in India on December 3, 2024. However, the wait for its flagship iQOO Neo 10 Pro continues. This model was launched in China on December 29, 2024, but there is currently no confirmed launch date for India. It is expected that the iQOO Neo 10 Pro will be introduced in India later in 2025 (possibly alongside or after the Neo 10S Pro models).
Once launched, you can buy the iQOO Neo 10 Pro on Easy EMIs by shopping on the Bajaj Finserv EMI Network. Planning to buy it? Want to know what features it could have? Let’s have a look at some major leaks that are making rounds in the market.
7 major iQOO Neo 10 Pro leaks
The phones iQOO Neo 10 Pro and iQOO Neo 10 will compete with other upcoming flagship-killer devices like the OnePlus Ace 5, realme GT Neo 7, and Redmi K80 series.
Due to the intense competition in the segment, you can expect iQOO to offer some premium features in these models. Let’s check out seven features you can expect from the Neo 10 series:
1. Powerful hardware
According to leaks,
- The iQOO Neo 10 will run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor
- The iQOO Neo 10 Pro will use the Dimensity 9400 chipset
Both these chipsets are high-end processors that deliver fast performance and smooth gaming. Additionally, the display will be a flat, gaming-friendly OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution. This ensures sharp visuals and smooth scrolling.
2. Large batteries
Both iQOO Neo 10 and iQoo Neo 10 Pro are expected to come with a 6,500mmAh battery.
Larger batteries are great for:
- Gaming
- Streaming
- Long work hours without worrying about charging
It will also support 120W fast charging, which can charge the battery from 0% to 50% in just a few minutes. This is one of the fastest charging speeds available and ensures you spend less time tethered to the socket.
If you often travel or use your phone a lot, this combination of a large battery and super-fast charging is a major advantage.
3. Bigger and better screen
The iQOO Neo 10 Pro will feature a 6.78-inch OLED display. These screens are known for their:
- Vibrant colours
- Deep blacks
- High contrast
Additionally, the resolution is 1.5K with a 144Hz refresh rate. This means the screen updates 144 times per second. Such a high refresh rate improves touch response and reduces motion blur, providing a premium experience.
4. Better memory and huge storage
The iQOO Neo 10 Pro will offer up to 16GB of RAM. It allows you to run multiple apps at the same time without slowing down. More RAM also means you can switch between apps quickly without them restarting.
For storage, the phone will have up to 512GB of internal space. This is great for storing:
- Photos
- Videos
- Games
- Apps
Since most phones don’t support microSD cards anymore, having large built-in storage ensures you don’t run out of space. This makes it a great choice for heavy users.
5. Powerful camera setup
The iQOO Neo 10 Pro will feature a dual-camera setup. The primary camera is a 50MP 1/1.56-inch sensor. This allows it to capture more light and detail, which is always better for low-light photography. Additionally, bigger sensors improve image quality (particularly at night).
The second camera is also a 50MP lens. However, currently, it is unclear if it will be an ultra-wide lens, telephoto lens, or macro lens.
Such a camera setup suggests that the phone will focus on high-quality photos and videos. If you love photography, this phone should take sharp, detailed, and vibrant images, even in challenging lighting conditions.
6. Smart fingerprint sensor
The iQOO Neo 10 series will have an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. This feature allows you to unlock the phone by touching the screen. The sensor expected to be used is faster and more secure than traditional optical sensors. It can work even if your fingers are slightly wet or dirty.
7. Better build quality
The iQOO Neo 10 Pro is expected to have a plastic frame instead of metal. While metal frames feel more premium and are sturdier, plastic frames help in reducing the phone’s weight and cost.
They also allow better signal reception. That’s because metal can sometimes interfere with network signals. However, plastic is less durable than aluminium or stainless steel and can feel less premium.
Despite this, many brands use high-quality plastic that mimics the feel of glass or metal. If you use a protective case, the difference in materials won’t matter much.
