The iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro, launching in India as the Neo 10, brings solid performance, bold design, and massive battery life at a very competitive price. But does it get everything right?

Unboxing the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro
Inside the box, iQOO includes:
- The device itself
- A soft case
- USB Type-C to Type-C cable
- 120W Vivo Flash Charger
- SIM ejector tool
- Quick start guide
The PPS-compatible charger can also power your laptop, making it a versatile addition.
Design & Build Quality
The bold “Flaming Orange” matte finish on the back stands out. The phone feels premium in hand despite its plastic body and weighs a little over 200g. The design curves at the back and chamfered edges offer comfort, and an IP65 rating adds durability.
7000mAh Battery + 120W Charging
With a massive 7,000mAh silicon carbon battery and 120W charging, this phone is a battery monster. iQOO claims:
- 0 to 40% in 15 minutes
- Full charge in ~35 minutes
Despite the capacity, it stays under 9mm thick — an impressive engineering feat.
Performance & Thermal Management
Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and paired with LPDDR5X RAM + UFS 4.1 storage, the Z10 Turbo Pro is blazing fast. However, thermal throttling is noticeable:
- Drops 60% performance under sustained stress tests
- Runs cooler than competitors due to conservative throttling
- Performs much better with external cooling
iQOO includes support for bypass charging to reduce battery heat during gaming or intense tasks.
Display: Bright, Fast & Smooth
The phone features a 6.78″ 1.5K AMOLED panel:
- 144Hz refresh rate
- Up to 4,400 nits (claimed); ~2,000 nits in real use
- 2160Hz PWM dimming (adjustable to 4320Hz)
Bright, crisp, and flicker-reduced — it’s among the best displays in its class.
Cameras: Good Stills, Disappointing Video
Rear setup:
- 50MP Sony sensor with OIS (primary)
- 8MP ultrawide (no autofocus)
Front:
- 16MP selfie cam (1080p video only)
Photos are vivid with boosted saturation. However:
- Videos suffer from EIS jitter and focus hunting
- Selfie cam lacks stabilization and suffers from oversharpening
Overall, cameras are passable but far from flagship-level.
Final Verdict: Who Should Buy the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro?
If your priorities are:
- Big battery
- Bright AMOLED screen
- Fast performance (with cooler support)
- Reasonable price
Then the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro (Neo 10) is a great choice.
However, if cameras and consistent gaming performance matter most, you may want to consider alternatives like the Redmi Turbo 4 or other Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phones.
