iQOO, a popular brand among mobile gamers, is all set to release its new Neo10 series in China. While the iQOO 13 hasn’t yet launched globally, rumors are already swirling about the Neo10’s features, especially since iQOO is known for creating performance-focused phones. Though the exact release date hasn’t been confirmed, tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) recently shared some details about the Neo10 series’ design and display.
Sleeker Camera Design and Display
Based on the schematics DCS shared, the Neo10 series will have a 6.78-inch flat screen with thinner bezels and a smaller punch-hole for the front camera, making the screen feel more spacious and clear. Plus, the rear camera module has been slightly redesigned, adding a stylish touch to the back of the phone.
New Software Features for a Better Experience
The Neo10 series is also expected to get some software updates from the iQOO 13, including better display quality, smoother touch response, and animations, thanks to the new Android 15-based OriginOS 5.
Performance and Fast Charging
When it comes to hardware, the Neo10 series recently passed its 3C certification, a key step before launch. The regular Neo10 model is likely to feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, while the Pro version may come with a Dimensity 9400 chip. Both are solid upgrades from the previous Neo9 models and are expected to support 120W fast charging, allowing quick power-ups.
The Neo10 series is rumored to come with a larger 6100mAh battery—an increase from the Neo9’s 5160mAh battery. This bigger battery, combined with more efficient processors, should help keep the phone running longer, even during intense gaming.
Camera and Security Updates
For security, iQOO is planning to include a Goodix ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which should make unlocking the phone faster and more reliable. As for the cameras, the Neo10 series may feature a 16MP front camera and a dual-lens setup on the back, including two 50MP sensors. Although the main sensor might be a bit smaller than the one in the Neo9 Pro, the improved processing chips should still make for good quality photos.
Pricing and Final Thoughts
While there’s no word on the exact price yet, DCS hinted that the Neo10 series will be competitively priced. If the iQOO 13 starts at around 3,999 yuan, the Neo10 series could be a more affordable option for users wanting similar features without the higher price tag.
All in all, the Neo10 series looks promising, especially for those who want a phone that can handle gaming and high performance without breaking the bank.
