iQOO has already rolled out its flagship iQOO 13, powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite. Now, it’s time for the brand to expand its more affordable and mid-range lineup.
The company is gearing up to expand its lineup with several new devices. The company is set to launch the iQOO Neo 10R in India this March, followed by the iQOO Z10 series and iQOO Neo 11 series later this year. Here’s what we know so far.
Scheduled to launch on March 11, 2025, the iQOO Neo 10R is the company’s latest performance-centric offering for the Indian market. The device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and is geared toward gamers, offering 90fps gameplay and a 2,000Hz instant touch sampling rate. It will be available in two colors—Moonlight Titanium and Raging Blue, the latter featuring a dual-tone finish.
On the camera front, the Neo 10R packs a dual rear camera setup, headlined by a 50MP primary sensor. For selfies and video calls, there’s a 16MP front-facing shooter.
The device boasts a hefty 6,400mAh battery with 80W fast charging. It’s expected to launch with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Up front, there’s a 6.78-inch flat AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The phone runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 14, and features an in-screen fingerprint sensor.
To build hype ahead of launch, iQOO has opened its first ever pop-up store, the iQOO Arena, at Select City Walk Mall in Saket, New Delhi. Running from February 21 to 23, 2025 (11 AM to 7 PM), the venue gives potential buyers a hands-on look at the Neo 10R—especially its gaming-focused features, including 90fps support.
iQOO Z10 is the company’s upcoming line of smartphones with four models reportedly in the works: the Z10x, Z10, Z10 Turbo, and Z10 Turbo Pro.
A standout feature across the lineup could be massive battery capacities as the phones in the lineup are expected to pack up to 7,000mAh.
At the top of the line, the Z10 Turbo Pro is rumored to be in testing with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8s Elite processor.
Meanwhile, the standard Z10 Turbo is expected to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8400 SoC. Both models will feature 1.5K LTPS flat displays with a 144Hz refresh rate, along with a dedicated independent graphics chip for enhanced performance.
Beyond that, details on the Z10 series remain scarce. But from what’s surfaced so far, it looks like iQOO is putting a strong emphasis on battery life for its next wave of Z-series phones.
While official details are scarce, leaks suggest the iQOO Neo 11 series is in development and could bring some notable upgrades over its predecessors.
One of the biggest rumored improvements? A massive 7,500mAh battery—a significant jump from the 6,100mAh cell in the iQOO Neo 10. This boost in battery capacity would be beneficial for users who engage in power-intensive activities such as gaming or streaming.
However, charging speeds are expected to stay the same, meaning while battery life will improve, the time required for a full charge likely won’t see a major reduction.
We’re still months away from an official iQOO 14 reveal—expected in October—but leaks are already surfacing. Like the Neo 11 and Z10 series, the iQOO 14 and 14 Pro are rumored to pack 7,000mAh batteries.
Under the hood, the phones are expected to feature Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite successor. Another interesting shift could be the display—rumors suggest iQOO might ditch BOE and Visionox OLED panels in favor of flat Samsung OLED screens, potentially improving brightness, efficiency, and overall display quality.
While details on other hardware remain under wraps, it’s safe to expect iQOO to bring high-refresh-rate displays, upgraded cameras, and improved connectivity to compete with other flagship devices. More leaks should fill in the gaps as we get closer to launch.
