Hey Questers! 🙌


I've been using the iQOO Neo 10R from launch day (March 11), and now, over 60 days later, here’s my experience

Gaming Experience


I started playing BGMI recently on my Neo 9 Pro (supports 120FPS). Neo 10R supports 90FPS, so I kept switching between the two to test the difference—honestly, barely noticeable.

No heating issues. No thermal throttling. Even during extended play sessions, Neo 10R stayed cool.


Daily Usage & Battery


I tried playing daily, mostly in Balanced Mode, and rarely used Monster Mode. Battery life? Insane.

I usually charged once every 3 days, even with regular gaming.

The phone helped me push my rank to Ace, despite being new to the game.


Camera Performance


The camera is decent—exactly what you'd expect from a gaming-focused device. It handled daily shots well, and I’ve even posted some photo samples earlier.


Display Quality


Neo 10R features a 1.5K AMOLED 144Hz display, just like my Neo 9 Pro. Both displays feel identical in smoothness and color quality.

No complaints here—it’s crisp and fluid.


Storage and UFS


I ran a test updating BGMI maps simultaneously on both phones using same Wi-Fi (100–200 Mbps).

Result?

Neo 9 Pro was faster. Neo 10R lagged a bit behind.


Why?

Neo 9 Pro has 8256 with UFS 4.0, while Neo 10R (mine) is 8128 with UFS 3.1.

There’s a clear difference in writing speed.


Recommendation


If you’re buying the Neo 10R, I highly recommend the 256GB (UFS 4.1) variant.

If budget is tight, the 128GB (UFS 3.1) variant is still very capable, just not as fast for file-heavy tasks.
