Frequently Asked Questions
iQOO Neo 10 scores highest overall in this comparison, with a spec score of 87.9/100. The spec score weighs performance, display, camera, battery and value together, so treat it as a starting point rather than a verdict — the right phone still depends on which of those you care about most.
iQOO Neo 10 has the largest battery at 7000 mAh. It charges at up to 120W. Capacity is only part of endurance: chipset efficiency and screen refresh rate affect how long a charge actually lasts.
iQOO Neo 10 is the fastest on paper, topping the AnTuTu benchmark at 2,035,000. Benchmarks measure short bursts, so a phone with better sustained thermals can still feel quicker in long gaming sessions.
iQOO Neo 10 has the brightest display at 5500 nits peak, with a 144Hz refresh rate. Brightness matters most for outdoor readability; see the Display section below for panel type and resolution.
