Several sources have indicated that iQOO is likely to reveal the iQOO Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro models by the end of this month (November) in China. Up to this point, numerous leaks have surfaced regarding the specifications of both devices. However, the battery capacity and overall design of the Neo 10 series remain uncertain.
Battery Details Revealed
According to insider DCS, the iQOO Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro are equipped with a 6,100mAh silicon battery that supports 120W fast charging. He mentioned that the weight of the Neo 10 series is consistent with its predecessor. For reference, the previous model, the Neo 9, weighs 190 grams, while the Pro version is slightly heavier at 198 grams.
Processor and Camera Variations
DCS also pointed out that the key distinction between the Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro lies in their processors; most other features are similar across both models. Earlier leaks from DCS suggest that the Neo 10 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while the Neo 10 Pro will utilize the Dimensity 9400 chipset. Additional leaks have indicated that the two models will vary in aspects like rear camera setups and fingerprint sensors. The Neo 10 is anticipated to have a dual-camera system consisting of a 50-megapixel and an 8-megapixel camera, along with an optical in-screen fingerprint sensor. Meanwhile, the Neo 10 Pro might come with a 50-megapixel dual camera setup and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.
Display and Storage Specs
Both the iQOO Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro are rumored to feature a 6.78-inch flat OLED display, boasting a resolution of 1.5K and a refresh rate of 144Hz, along with eye protection dimming technology. It is expected that both models will include a 16-megapixel front camera and run on OriginOS 5 based on Android 15. The series might provide options of up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and storage capacity reaching 1 TB with UFS 4.0.
Interestingly, DCS has posted a render of an upcoming smartphone that resembles the rear camera layout of the iPhone 16. However, he did not disclose which device it represents. Given its dual-camera configuration, it is plausible that this render pertains to the Neo 10 series. One notable aspect is the volume rocker’s position on the left side instead of the right, which is unusual. Therefore, it's best to wait for more information to clarify the design of the Neo 10 series.
