The iQOO Neo 10R is a new gaming-focused phone that comes at a budget-friendly price of ₹24,999. I recently got my hands on it, and here’s a quick look at what you get in the box and how the phone performs in daily use.

Unboxing Experience


The phone comes in a clean black box. Inside, you’ll find:

  • The iQOO Neo 10R (with a screen protector already applied)
  • A transparent back case
  • SIM ejector tool
  • 80W fast charger
  • USB-A to USB-C cable
  • Some paperwork

The overall packaging is neat, and it’s nice that they include a fast charger and a case in the box.

Design and Display


The phone feels slim and light in the hand despite having a big battery. It’s made of plastic, which makes it a bit slippery, but the design looks modern—especially the Raging Blue color with a unique pattern on the back.

It has a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. The screen is bright and colorful, and it’s easy to see even under sunlight.

Performance and Features

Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, the phone runs very smoothly. There’s no lag even while gaming or multitasking. It also has special features for gaming like eSports mode and direct power supply to reduce heating.

It comes with 8/12GB RAM options and up to 256GB storage, which is great for a phone in this price range.


Battery and Charging


The iQOO Neo 10R has a huge 6,400mAh battery. It easily lasts more than a day, even with heavy use. The 80W charger can fully charge the phone in about 1 hour and 10 minutes.


Camera Performance


The phone has a 50MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide lens, and 32MP front camera. The main camera performs well in normal lighting but struggles a bit outdoors with skin tones. Night mode and ultra-wide shots are okay but not the best. The selfie camera is decent but tends to brighten the skin too much.

Final Verdict


At ₹24,999, the iQOO Neo 10R is a great option for gamers and power users. It offers strong performance, a great display, and long battery life. The camera is not perfect, and it lacks features like NFC and wireless charging, but for the price, it's a solid package.


Happy Questing
