iQOO Neo 10 Pro+: Everything you need to know

iQOO has left no stone unturned with the Neo 10 Pro+. It’s a powerhouse with top-of-the-line specs that’s bound to appease any gamer – beginner or pro.

Starting off with the display, it features a massive 6.82-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate. This means, the phone will drop down the refresh rate on static pages to conserve power and push it to the maximum for the smooth gaming graphics, when needed. It’s a 2K resolution display with crisp visuals and a mind-blowing brightness of up to 4,500 nits.

Powering the phone is Snapdragon’s most ‘elite’ chipset – the Snapdragon 8 Elite – with a 3nm processor and the powerful Adreno 830 GPU. Paired with this is up to 16GB of LPDDR5X (the fastest RAM speed yet), and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

The phone scores an awe-inspiring 3.3 million points of AnTuTu, thanks in part to iQOO’s in-house Q2 gaming chip and a robust 7K Ice Dome vapour chamber cooling system.

For optics, you get a dual camera setup with a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultrawide shooter. For selfies, iQOO has provided a 16MP lens. It’s not the best camera setup at this price evidently, so if camera is your main concern, consider the Vivo V50 or Samsung Galaxy A55.

Connectivity options include 5G support, Bluetooth v5.4, GPS, NFC, and a USB-C port. The phone is also rated IP65 to protect against dust and light splashes.

The phone features a huge 6,800mAh battery with fast 120W charging that gets the phone from zero to 70 per cent in merely 25 minutes. All of this in a body with the thickness of 8.2mm!
