Smartphone performance has come a long way—and every now and then, a phone surprises us by delivering flagship-level firepower at a price point that seems almost too good to be true. Enter the iQOO Neo 10—a performance-centric device that's clearly gunning for the top of the charts.

I recently put the Neo 10 through a set of benchmarks to see how well it holds up under pressure, and the results were nothing short of stunning.

Here's a detailed breakdown of the AnTuTu benchmark results and what they really mean for everyday users and power enthusiasts alike.

AnTuTu Benchmark Results (v10.5.0)

The iQOO Neo 10 pulled off a jaw-dropping score of 1,955,775 on AnTuTu, placing it neck-and-neck with many flagship devices powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen chipsets. Though the score was not verified online (since the device wasn't connected to the internet during the test), the local benchmark still gives us a reliable insight into raw hardware capabilities.

• CPU: 462,540
• GPU: 759,324
• Memory (MEM): 394,522
• User Experience (UX): 339,389

CPU Performance – 462K+

The CPU score is impressive, reflecting solid optimization for multi-threaded performance. Whether you're running multiple apps, editing videos on the go, or diving into productivity tasks, the Neo 10 doesn't lag or shutter

This suggests the phone is running one of the Snapdragon 8 Gen-series processors or its equivalent, tuned for high burst performance and better thermal efficiency.

🎮 GPU Performance – 759K+

Now, this is where it gets really exciting. With a GPU score of over 750K, the Neo 10 proves it’s built for serious mobile gaming. This level of graphical performance means:

• Ultra-smooth frame rates in high-refresh-rate titles
• Better handling of high-resolution textures
• Fewer frame drops under sustained gaming loads

Pair this with a high-refresh-rate AMOLED panel (which iQOO phones are known for), and you’ve got a pocket-sized gaming powerhouse.

Memory (MEM) – 394K+ & UX – 339K+

These scores reflect fast RAM and storage capabilities (likely UFS 3.1 or even UFS 4.0), resulting in quick app launches, fluid multitasking, and smooth transitions. The UX score suggests the software experience is also well-optimized, with a responsive interface and minimal lag.

🌡️ Thermals and Battery Drain: Reasonably Managed

During the test, the temperature rose from 32.9°C to 47.2°C, marking a +14.3°C increase. Battery dropped by just 6%. For such an intensive benchmark run, that's fairly efficient thermal performance - likely aided by a 7000mm^2 Ultra vapor chamber cooling system or advanced graphite layering.

No signs of throttling or sudden spikes were observed, indicating a well-balanced thermal profile.

CPDT (Cross Platform Disk Test)

Similarly, I recently put the iQOO Neo 10 through the CPDT Benchmark Tool to evaluate its sequential and random read/write speeds—and the results were seriously impressive. [Considering a 16GB File Transfer]

With sequential read speeds hitting 1.35 GB/s and write speeds at 747 MB/s, this phone is clearly powered by UFS 4.1 or a highly tuned UFS 3.1 (8+128GB) storage system.

⚙️ Key Metrics:

• Seq. Read: 1.35 GB/s
• Seq. Write: 747 MB/s
• Random Read/Write (4KB) (4KB): 21.7 / 24.5 MB/s
• Memory Copy: 14.8 GB/s

What does this mean for you? Apps launch quicker, 4K videos save without a hitch, and multitasking is buttery smooth. Even random read/write speeds are solid—great for day-to-day responsiveness.

🔚 Final Thoughts

The iQOO Neo 10 delivers flagship-level performance—from CPU & GPU scores to blazing-fast storage. If you're after raw power on a budget, this phone is a beast.
