Most reviews told you iQOO Neo 10 is a performance beast.

But after using it for 6 months, the truth is slightly different,

not bad, just not what reviews told you.

📱 DESIGN & BUILD 

Looks good, but !

At first glance, iQOO Neo 10 doesn't feel like a crazy phone.

• Plastic back
• No halo Light

BUT 

After 6 months, I actually appreciate this design.

✅ Lightweight

✅ Comfortable for long gaming

✅ No major scratches

✅ Eye Catching Dual Tone

✅ Still looks clean in daily use

Verdict:

Not a simple phone, but a Dual Tone flex User friendly one.

⚡ PERFORMANCE ⚡

This is where expectations were scary

(Because reviews overhype)

Everyone hyped performance ! so my expectations were VERY high!!!

❌ Initial fear

• Long-term heating?
• Performance drop?
• Throttling?

Reality after 6 months

✅ Smooth day-to-day usage

✅ Heavy gaming still stable

✅ No major lag or frame drops

✅ Consistent performance over time

!! This phone didn't peak high and fall, it stayed stable !!

144 FPS is Claimed and Thanks to iQOO to deliver it !!!!

Honest take- Not the fastest on paper anymore, but reliable in real life.

🎮 GAMING 🎮

 As similar as my expectations because as a Neo Series, I was expecting the highest top level performance and it genuinly delievered!!

✅ Stable FPS

✅ Controlled heating

✅ Less Battery drain while Gaming

✅ No sudden performance crashes

It doesn't flex numbers, it delivers consistency.

🔋 BATTERY 🔋

This surprised me the most

Battery is where phones usually disappoint after 6 months.

❌ Expected- 

• Fast degradation
• Shorter screen time

Actual experience-

✅ Battery health feels solid

✅ Still easily lasts a full day

✅ Standby drain is minimal

✅ Fast charging still feels fast

No battery anxiety, and that's rare.

📸 CAMERA 📸

Let's talk camera, because reviews don't talk about this properly.

❌ Weak points-

• Inconsistent inlow light
• Night photos need effort
• Not flagship-level processing

BUT- 

✅ Daylight photos are sharp

✅ Social media-ready shots

✅ Video stability is crazy

✅ If you like Portrait shots!! then you are definetely gonna love it !!!

✅ Skin tones are mostly natural

This is not a camera phone, but the results !!!! woahhh! whattt a crazy surprise for me as a Shutterbug !!

If camera is your top priority, look elsewhere. If you are thinking of Performance centric phone with good camera, here iQOO Neo10 is perfect for you !!

🧠 ORIGIN OS UPDATE EXPERIENCE 🧠

Now let's talk about something people ignore but nowadays Hyped Origin OS updates 

❌ Initial worries- 

• Bugs after updates?
• Battery drain?
• Performance hit?

6 months later- 

✅ UI feels smoother now

✅ Animations improved

✅ No major bugs for me

✅ Features feel refined, not rushed

✅ More AI features, More Customization, whatt a wonderful OS!!!

Origin OS actually aged well on this phone

Reality check-

It's not perfect because everyone says naa ! nothing is perfect but yeah ! Nothing is also not perfect ! hehehe ! iykyk , but it's stable and usable.

CONCLUSION

It's not a phone that impresses reviewers

it's a phone that satisfies users
