iQOO Neo 10

The iQOO Neo 10 isn’t just another mid-range phone trying to flex flagship specs; it actually delivers where it counts. With a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 under the hood and up to 16GB RAM, this is a phone built for power users who game hard, multitask heavily, and expect fluidity in every tap. During testing, it breezed through everything from 120FPS gaming sessions to long stretches of multitasking without major thermal throttling. Its 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 3340 nits makes content consumption and gaming feel truly immersive, easily one of the best panels in its class. Real-world usage confirms what the Calman results already suggest: top-tier colour accuracy with a Delta E of 1.4, great visibility even in bright sunlight, and ultra-smooth animations across the UI. Despite packing a massive 7000mAh battery, the Neo 10 remains surprisingly ergonomic and well-balanced in the hand. It also edges ahead of rivals with its 120W fast charging, fully juicing up in around 40 minutes. Yes, its camera system isn’t class-leading, detail retention and edge detection could be better, but the results are consistent and vibrant enough for social-ready snaps. And though it shares a lot with the cheaper Neo 10R, this version justifies the premium with a brighter display, faster charging, better thermal control, and a more refined user experience. With strong scores across the board, from performance and display to battery and value, the iQOO Neo 10 earns its spot on this list as a reliable, performance-first all-rounder under ₹32,000.
