bought the iQOO Neo 10 on 12 October mainly for gaming and heavy performance tasks. After using this device for around five months, I can confidently say that it delivers monster-level performance and handles almost everything with ease.

Starting with performance, this device is truly built for gamers. Whether it is long gaming sessions, video editing, multitasking, or other heavy tasks, the phone handles everything smoothly without noticeable lag. During gaming, the performance remains stable and powerful, making the experience enjoyable for long sessions.

The battery is another strong point of this device. The 7000mAh battery provides excellent backup. While gaming, I can easily play for around 4 hours continuously without worrying about the battery draining quickly. In normal day-to-day use, I usually get around 9 to 10 hours of screen-on time, which is very impressive for a performance-focused smartphone.

The display is also very good. It is bright enough for outdoor usage, so using the phone under sunlight is not a problem. The colors look vibrant and the viewing experience is comfortable whether you are gaming, watching videos, or browsing.

Talking about the camera, it performs surprisingly well, especially in portrait mode. I have captured many portrait shots with this phone, and the results have been consistently impressive. The edge detection and background blur look natural, and overall the portrait images come out really good.



The speakers are decent and loud enough for normal use. I personally do not listen to a lot of music on my phone, but for videos and casual media consumption they work perfectly fine.



In terms of network and call quality, I have not faced any issues so far. The connectivity has been stable and reliable throughout my usage.

Now coming to the things that could be better.

The build quality is good but it could have been improved further to feel more premium. Another issue I noticed came after the OriginOS 6 update. After updating, the phone started heating faster during heavy tasks and gaming, and the screen-on time reduced by around one hour compared to before. However, the system is gradually getting more optimized, so I hope future updates will improve this.

MY EXPERIENCE ~~~


Even after five months, the iQOO Neo 10 remains an excellent device for gamers and power users. It offers powerful performance, great battery life, a bright display, and surprisingly good portrait photography. Despite a few minor issues like build quality and heating after the update, I am still satisfied with this device and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful gaming smartphone.
