IQOO Neo 10R Review

 


iQOO Neo 10R Review – My Honest Experience After 3 Months

Switching smartphones is always a big decision, especially when you’re moving from iOS to Android. I had been an iPhone user for years, but battery life was becoming a huge issue for me. Since I couldn’t afford the iPhone Pro Max, I started looking for an alternative that could give me great performance, solid battery life, and good value for money. After comparing multiple smartphones in the same price range, I finally decided to buy the iQOO Neo 10R, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made.



Buying Experience & First Impressions

I ordered the iQOO Neo 10R from Amazon at ₹27,000. The model I picked was the Moonknight colour variant.

What I got in the box:

An 80W fast charger

A transparent back cover

The slim, beautifully designed device

The Moonlight colour is stunning – it feels premium in hand and the slim profile makes it comfortable to use. Honestly, my first few days with it felt a little strange, because shifting from iOS to Android again wasn’t easy. But once I got used to it, the phone started to grow on me quickly.



Display Quality – Truly Impressive

One of the standout features of the iQOO Neo 10R is its display. It has a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate.

The colours are sharp, the touch response is smooth, and what impressed me the most is its brightness level. Even if you’re standing under the blazing sun, you won’t struggle to see the screen.



Performance & Gaming Experience

I’m not a heavy gamer, but I enjoy playing action games like BGMI and Call of Duty. On the iQOO Neo 10R, the gaming experience is way above expectations.

The phone comes with Ultra Game Mode, where you can tweak frame rates, brightness, sound, and even try fun features like voice changing. For casual to moderate gaming, this phone performs like a champ.

With the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor and vapour chamber cooling system, heating is very rare. Unlike other brands (looking at you, MI 😂), this phone handles long gaming sessions with ease.



Battery Life & Charging

This was the main reason I shifted from iPhone, and the iQOO Neo 10R hasn’t disappointed me at all. With its 6,400 mAh battery and 80W fast charging, it easily lasts a full day for heavy users.

For gaming, I tested it on a 100% charge, and it gave me around 8 hours of playtime without any major heating issues. Charging is also super quick – within minutes you’re back at 50–60%.


Real-Life Usage

Multitasking is smooth, apps load quickly, and switching between them is seamless.

The design feels premium in hand, and the Moonlight colour looks classy.

After 2–3 months of use, the battery health still feels excellent.

The combination of display + battery makes it a solid daily driver for both work and entertainment.

Today, I want to share my perspective on love. Believe me, guys, love is just a feeling. but it’s different for everyone. For a girl, love often means being treated well, feeling appreciated, and being cared for. For a guy, love often means having someone to share everything with, your thoughts, your struggles, your day-to-day life. Speaking for myself, what I wanted most was simple: a girl with whom I could share my day. Not because I don’t have friends. I do, but friends are friends only until money, circumstances, or priorities come between you. I’ve spent a lot of time with friends during school, college, and even when I was jobless. We drank together, went on trips, laughed, shared stories, and made memories. Even when we had no money, we found ways to have fun. But as time passed, life changed. Money, jobs, responsibilities, everyone became busy. Friends drifted away, and I realized I had very few people I could truly rely on. Some betrayed me, others broke my trust, ...
