iQOO Neo 10 Launches in India with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 – The Slimmest 7000mAh Smartphone Ever

iQOO has unleashed a performance juggernaut with the introduction of the iQOO Neo 10, India’s first smartphone powered by the Snapdragon® 8s Gen 4 Mobile Platform. This next-gen powerhouse combines ultra-fast performance, dual-chip architecture, a massive 7000mAh battery, and a sleek 8.09mm profile – setting a new benchmark in the mid-premium segment.

Blazing Performance with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 + iQOO Q1 Supercomputing Chip

At the heart of the iQOO Neo 10 is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a chipset built on the cutting-edge 4nm TSMC process. It delivers a massive 31% increase in CPU performance and 49% GPU boost, compared to its predecessor. This is paired with iQOO’s proprietary Supercomputing Chip Q1, which offloads visual processing and game interpolation from the main processor, boosting performance and efficiency.

The dual-chip system is tailored for gaming enthusiasts, multitaskers, and heavy app users, offering frame stability, enhanced visuals, and low-latency gameplay. Its AnTuTu benchmark score of 2.42 million confirms its position as the fastest phone in its category.

Ultra Slim with Monster Power – India’s Slimmest 7000mAh Smartphone

Despite housing a massive 7000mAh BlueVolt battery, the iQOO Neo 10 keeps an elegant and slim profile at just 8.09mm thickness, weighing only 206g. This combination of power and portability is unprecedented, especially with a battery that delivers up to 24 hours of intense usage.

Charging is equally impressive thanks to the 120W FlashCharge technology, which juices up the phone from 1% to 50% in just 19 minutes, and a full charge in 36 minutes. Bypass Charging ensures cooler, sustained performance during gaming or video playback by directly drawing power from the charger without heating the battery.

Massive Cooling System with 7000mm² Vapor Chamber

To manage thermal efficiency, iQOO Neo 10 comes with an industry-leading 7000 mm² vapor chamber, supplemented by graphite cooling films, thermal gels, and 9 intelligent temperature sensors. The total thermal dissipation area is a massive 27,000 mm², enabling sustained peak performance without thermal throttling, especially during long gaming sessions.

144Hz AMOLED Display with Ultra Brightness

The iQOO Neo 10 flaunts a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate, perfect for gaming and content consumption. The display peaks at 5500 nits local brightness and offers 2000 nits HBM brightness, ensuring visibility even under harsh sunlight. With support for 1.07 billion colors, 452 PPI pixel density, and ultra-thin bezels (top: 1.62mm, bottom: 2.39mm), the display feels almost borderless, offering an immersive experience.

Other display highlights:

  • 4320Hz PWM dimming for reduced eye strain
  • 3000Hz instant touch sampling rate for ultra-responsive inputs
  • Schott Xensation Up Glass for enhanced durability

Game-Ready with 144 FPS Interpolation + Real-Time Metrics

The Q1 chip enables smoother visuals with MEMC (Motion Estimation Motion Compensation) technology, turning 30FPS content into fluid 60FPS – a game-changer for OTT consumption.

Flagship-Level Camera System with Sony Sensor

Photography is another area where the iQOO Neo 10 excels. It features a dual-camera setup:

  • 50MP Sony IMX882 with OIS
  • 8MP Ultra-Wide Sensor
