Camera Specifications

Rear Cameras:
  • Main: Sony IMX882 50MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture, OIS
  • Ultra-Wide: 8MP sensor, f/2.2 aperture= Ultra-Wide: 8 MP sensor, f/2.2 aperture
Front Camera:
  • 32MP sensor, f/2.45 aperture
Photo Quality
  • Daylight Performance:: Well-lit images are sharp, colourful and punchy on its 50MP main sensor with accurate colours. Dynamic range is good – across both highlights and shadows there is plenty of detail retained.
  • Low-Light Performance: Meanwhile, the main sensor does well in low-light thanks to OIS and Night Mode. But you can see some noise if you look closely, and the ultra-wide lens produces softer images in such situations.
  • Portrait Mode: The portrait shots are sharp and edge detection and background separation is fine. That said, you may see a bit of over-sharpening, and the ultra-wide lens will add some fringing and distortion.
  • Selfies: The 32MP front camera takes detailed, well-exposed selfies in daylight. In less than ideal lighting, image quality starts to degrade, but still passable for casual use.

Video Quality

  • Rear Camera: It provides 4K filming at 30/60fps. Videos are also smooth with effective stabilization and accurate colour reproduction, it is also good for vlogging and social media content.
  • Front Camera: Records 4K (which stands out in this range) at 30fps.
  • Stabilization : The gadget comes with both standard and ultra stabilization modes. Out of interest, ultra stabilization crops the image to reduce the resolution to 1080p.
  • Other Features: Portrait video recording at 1080p 30fps and Supermoon mode up to 20x.

Verdict

Positive aspects of the iQOO Neo 10R’s imaging system are that it is a solid performer for casual photography and videography tasks for budget-conscious users. Though it’s fantastic in the daylight, and boasts impressive video skills, low light photography and ultra-wide performance could be better. All said, it’s a great value for the cost particularly for someone who who values video recording and selfie quality.

Pros and Cons

iQOO Neo 10R is an affordable mid-range phone, and it provides good performance and features for the price. Here are some of the pros and cons: Pros There are plenty of selling points for the draft, particularly for a league like the N.H.L., which for so long had to insist it is still relevant to a skeptical sports fan.

Pros

  • Power that Moves: Featuring Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor and Adreno 735 GPU, Neo 10R ensures fast and clean multitasking and gaming, setting a new benchmark in its segment.
  • High-Res Display: Introducing a 6.78″ ultra-clear 144Hz high refresh rate 1.5K AMOLED display, combined with a 15-level adjustment across the refresh rate spectrum (1 – 144Hz) which guarantees ultimate clarity and smoothness while gaming.
  • Powerful and Long-Lasting Battery: Powered by a large 6,400mAh battery, you can enjoy long hours of use, and charging up quickly is no problem with 80W Super Fast Charge.
  • Good Camera Quality: The 50mp OIS Primary camera offers sharp images in well-lit conditions while the 32mp front camera offers Photo and 4k video recording support, making it good for selfie lovers or content creators.
  • Software Updates: The phone operates on Android 15 based Funtouch OS 15 that could be eligible for as many as three Android updates to provide you long-term software support.

Cons

Like most China manufactured, preloaded app / software / bloatware for user experience and usage not enough.

  • Poor 144Hz Compatibility: The screen does have a 144Hz refresh rate, but only a small selection of games are currently using it, and in the real world it’s not all that exciting.
  • No NFC: The lack of NFC might not be liked by users who love contactless payments and NFC based features.
  • Average Ultra-Wide Camera: The ultra-wide lens provides less usable results than the primary camera and is often affected by fringing and oversharpening.

Summary

The iQOO Neo 10R is a performance-oriented deive that is one of the better options in the sub-₹30,000 segment, thanks to the good high-refresh-rate, powerful processor and big battery it packs. While there are a few caveats like bloatware and no NFC, it’s a choice worth considering for those needing a slate that offers power and precision at a reasonable price.

Final Verdict

If you are looking for a smartphone that can offer you good performance, a display and battery life that you can count on without burdening your pocket under Rs 30,000, the iQOO Neo 10R is a good contender to consider. These minor downsides – no NFC and a handful of pre-installed bloat – are outweighed by its performance and screen quality, making it a win-win for gamers and power users.

why should not buy?

The iQOO Neo 10R boasts a great specs sheet for its price but you might just want to think twice before you hit buy on it:

Why You Should Not Buy the iQOO Neo 10R

  • No NFC Support: With no NFC, it also restricted its ability to be used for contactless payments and quick device pairing, which are becoming more common place in smartphones.
  • No Expandable Storage: Since there’s no microSD card slot, you’re stuck with internal storage. This might be limiting for people who save a lot of media or apps.
  • Lack of Wireless Charging: The device does not have wireless charging, enabling it to support 80W fast charging.
  • Plastic Build: The plastic material of the phone would make a step down in terms of quality compared to its competitor’s glass/metal design and likely compromise the durability and look and feel of the device.
  • Limited Water Resistance: It’s rated IP65, which means it’s dust-tight and protected against water jets, but it’s not as high as the IP68 protection found on other, competing models.
  • Software Bloatware: Pre-installed apps are present on the Funtouch OS 15 and some of them cannot be removed, so you might end up feeling that the company wants you to use them.
  • Battery Drain Concerns: There have been some complaints of faster-than-expected battery drain, particularly when pushed hard, so power users will probably want to keep an eye on this.
  • No 3.5mm Headphone Jack: The lack of a headphone jack might also bother people who like their audio wired.
  • Average Camera Performance: The back camera is decent but the lack of optical zoom and low light photography features might disappoint photography nuts.
  • Potential Software Issues: Many others have reported software-related problems–including unresponsive screens and boot loops–that could impact the experience.

With that all in mind if NFC, wireless charging, premium build, and some better software are important to you it’s worth considering some other products available.
