iQOO Neo10 Pro+ arrives with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a better display and a bigger battery
The iQOO Neo10 and Neo10 Pro were announced in late 2024 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9400, respectively. Now the company is launching an upgraded version with a faster chipset, better display, a bigger battery and some other improvements too.
The iQOO Neo10 Pro+ is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and a self-developed iQOO Q2 gaming chip (more on that in a bit). The phone has various configurations with 12GB/16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB UFS 4.1 storage. A large vapor chamber keeps the chipset cool.
The new display is a 6.82” LTPO OLED panel with 1-144Hz refresh rate and a higher 1440p+ resolution (the old Neo10s have 6.78 144Hz LTPO displays with 1260p+ resolution). The phone does promise 144fps gaming thanks to the Q2 chip, which handles resolution and frame rate upscaling. iQOO worked with game developers to ensure support. The display reaches 1,800 nits globally, local peak brightness is 4,500 nits. There’s an ultrasonic fingerprint reader underneath too.
The other major upgrade is the battery, which now has 6,800mAh capacity (up from 6,100mAh on the older Neo10s). It’s a dual-cell design and supports 120W fast charging – it gets to 70% in 25 minutes. With non-proprietary USB-PD chargers, it can go up to 100W. Another important feature is the battery bypass option that runs the phone off wall power.

Other improvements on the iQOO Neo10 Pro+ include an IP65 rating. It’s fairly basic water resistance, but the older models had none.
The camera system is a bit odd – it’s more like the Neo10 than the Neo10 Pro. It has a 50MP main with OIS and an 8MP ultra wide (the Pro had a 50MP UW). The selfie camera got bumped up to 32MP resolution (from 16MP).
