While the iQOO 13 has not yet been launched globally, iQOO is already gearing up for the next Neo10 series release in China. The precise date for this launch is still unknown, but the Neo10 series is creating excitement, particularly among gaming fans. Recently, tipster DCS revealed the schematics for the Neo10 series along with details about its display.
Redesigned Camera and Display Features
DCS reports that the Neo10 series will feature a 6.78-inch flat display, which will include a smaller punch-hole for the front camera and slimmer bezels. This design aims to provide a clean and immersive viewing experience. Additionally, the rear camera module has undergone slight modifications, now showcasing a more textured decorative finish that adds a premium touch to the device.
Moreover, it appears that the Neo10 series will carry over some software features from the iQOO 13. These may include enhancements for display quality and touch response, as well as new animations and visual improvements brought by the Android 15-based OriginOS 5 skin.
Specifications and Performance Details
Recent reports indicate that the iQOO Neo10 series has successfully achieved 3C certification, moving a step closer to its launch. The standard Neo10 model is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while the Pro version might utilize the Dimensity 9400 processor. This represents a solid upgrade from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Dimensity 9300 chips found in the Neo9 series. Both variants are anticipated to support 120W super flash charging.
The fast charging technology is likely to be paired with a larger 6100mAh battery, an upgrade from the previous generation's 5160mAh capacity. This increase in battery size, along with the more efficient processors, should lead to better battery life, which is ideal for those long gaming sessions.
Camera and Pricing Insights
In terms of camera capabilities, the iQOO Neo10 series is said to come with a 16MP front camera and a dual rear setup that includes a 50MP primary sensor and another 50MP lens. The main sensor is expected to measure 1/1.56”, which is slightly smaller than the 1/1.49″ sensor in the Neo9 Pro. Nevertheless, both chips are equipped with better ISPs, making it hard to judge the camera performance just yet.
On the pricing front, Digital Chat Station has assured potential buyers that the Neo10 series will be competitively priced. Given that the iQOO 13 is rumored to start at 3,999 yuan, the Neo10 series could serve as a high-value option for users looking for flagship features (like the SuperComputing Chip Q2 from the iQOO 13) without the associated high cost.
Ultimately, the iQOO Neo10 series seems to bring several attractive features and enhancements, particularly appealing to mobile gamers and users focused on performance.
