iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: India price, specs and features compared
The iQOO Neo 10 comes in two colour options — Titanium Chrome and Inferno Red. The red version has a dual-tone look, which at first glance might remind you of a new colour variant of the Neo 10R. And for those who don't know, before the Neo 10, iQOO had already launched the Neo 10R in India just a few months ago. That phone is a solid pick under Rs 30,000 and offers great value for money. But now, with the Neo 10 out, and priced only slightly higher, some people who just bought the Neo 10R might be feeling a bit bad, especially since the new model brings a few notable upgrades and extra features. Still, should you really regret it?advertisementIs the iQOO Neo 10 automatically the better phone just because it costs more? Or does the Neo 10R still make more sense by offering smarter value for its price? Here's a detailed comparison to help you decide.iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: DesignBoth phones look quite similar when it comes to design. The camera layout is square on both, but the Neo 10 stands out slightly with a circular ring flash, while the Neo 10R sticks to a more regular flash module. The easiest way to tell them apart is by the colours. The Neo 10 comes in Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome, while the Neo 10R is offered in MoonKnight Titanium and Raging Blue.
In terms of build, both phones use plastic frames and backs, and have the same thickness. However, the Neo 10 feels a bit more solid in the hand, weighing 206 grams compared to the lighter 196 grams of the Neo 10R. Overall though, apart from the colours and weight, they are quite similar in appearance.Read here - iQOO Neo 10 review: Raises the stakes and delivers great value, not just top-notch gamingiQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: DisplayadvertisementThe display on both phones is a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. However, the Neo 10 is technically brighter, with a peak brightness of 5,500 nits compared to 4,500 nits on the Neo 10R. The Neo 10 also has a slightly better HBM (2,000 nits vs 1,800 nits) and a higher PWM dimming rate of 4,320Hz compared to 3,820Hz on the Neo 10R. So, while both displays are good, the Neo 10 has the edge in both bright and low-light conditions, though the difference may not be huge for most users.iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: PerformanceIn terms of performance, the iQOO Neo 10R runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, while the Neo 10 comes with the newer Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. This is a noticeable jump in power. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 competes with higher-end chips like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9400e, and offers top-tier performance in its price segment. Both phones support UFS 4.1 storage and LPDDR5X RAM. But only the Neo 10 gives you the option of 16GB RAM with 512GB storage. For most users, the 8s Gen 3 is more than enough, but if you want flagship-level speed under Rs 40,000, the Neo 10 is clearly ahead.Read here - iQOO Neo 10R review: A well-rounded mid-range marveliQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: CameraadvertisementBoth phones feature the same camera hardware — a 50-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 32-megapixel front camera. Video recording at 4K/60fps is supported on both the front and back. However, thanks to a better image signal processor (ISP) on the Neo 10, you can expect slightly better image and video quality, even though the hardware is the same.iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: Battery and chargingBattery and charging is another area where the Neo 10 takes the lead. It has a massive 7,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging, while the Neo 10R comes with a 6,400mAh battery and 80W charging support. So, not only do you get more battery, but also faster charging with the Neo 10.iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: Price in IndiaThe iQOO Neo 10 price in India starts at Rs 31,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage version. The 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 512GB variants cost Rs 33,999, Rs 35,999 and Rs 40,999, respectively.advertisementThe iQOO Neo 10R, on the other hand, is priced starting at Rs 26,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage version. The 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB variants are priced at Rs 28,999 and Rs 30,999, respectively.Do note, the base variants of both phones with 128GB storage offer the UFS 3.1 standard.iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: Final thoughtsIn the end, the iQOO Neo 10 is clearly the more powerful and feature-rich phone, and justifies the higher price. But the Neo 10R still holds strong as a value-for-money device under Rs 30,000, with a great display, solid performance, and reliable cameras. If your budget is flexible and you want the best, the Neo 10 is the way to go. But if you want to save a few thousand and still get a great experience, the Neo 10R won't disappoint either.

Nothing Phone 3 India launch tomorrow: Expected price, design, specs and everything else
The Nothing Phone 3 will launch in India on July 1, which is tomorrow. The device is coming nearly two years after the launch of the Nothing Phone 2. While the company has been tight-lipped about the full specifications, several leaks and teasers over the past few weeks have left little to the imagination. From a new camera system to faster charging and a fresh design language, the Phone 3 could be a step forward in many ways. Unlike the previous models that leaned heavily on design to grab attention, the focus this time seems to be more balanced — offering a mix of good looks, improved performance, and practical upgrades. The most notable change appears to be in the camera department, but there are improvements across the board. Here are the details based on the Phone 3 India launch tomorrow: Expected price, design, specs and everything elseNew processor?According to leaks, the Nothing Phone 3 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. This is a big upgrade over the Snapdragon 778G SoC seen on the previous model. While it's not the top-of-the-line chip from Qualcomm, it is still part of the flagship series and should deliver smooth performance for most users. For everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking, this processor should be more than capable, especially when combined with higher RAM options. However, companies like iQOO (Neo 10) and Poco (F7) are offering phones with the same chip for under Rs 35,000. It will be interesting to see how Nothing will convince users to buy its new offering at a premium is tipped to offer the Phone 3 in two configurations, one with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and another with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. This gives users the choice to go for more memory if needed, something power users will likely camera upgrades?advertisement The biggest highlight of the Phone 3 could be its new camera setup. Nothing has officially confirmed that the device will feature a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. This will be the first time a Nothing phone includes a zoom lens, allowing up to 3x optical zoom. Along with this, leaks suggest there will be a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, giving the phone a triple camera setup — a clear step up from the dual-camera layout on the Phone the selfie camera is expected to get an upgrade. The front sensor may move from 32 megapixels to 50 megapixels, and there's a chance autofocus will be added this time, which would help improve selfies and video display, better batteryOn the front, the Phone 3 is likely to keep the same 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display as the Phone 2. While the size and panel might not change, LTPO tech ensures smoother refresh rates and helps save some battery. Speaking of battery, the Nothing Phone 3 could get a boost here as well, with a larger 5,150mAh unit replacing the 4,700mAh cell used in the previous what's more interesting is the rumour that it could support 100W wired charging. That would make it one of the fastest-charging phones in its segment. It is currently unknown whether the device will offer support for the wireless charging changes and Glyph updatesadvertisementNothing phones are known for their semi-transparent back design and unique Glyph interface. But this year, things might look a little different. Leaked images show a new camera arrangement with visible screws and sharper design elements. The new 'Glyph Matrix' display is expected to be placed in the top corner of the back panel, replacing the symmetrical light patterns of the previous models. Some users might find it interesting, while others may not like the change, but it does help the phone stand images also show the phone in black and off-white colours. We can see three cameras placed on different parts of the upper rear panel. There is no camera module, and the sensors are placed separately. But, they appear to be more prominent and protrude more than before. This is likely because of the added periscope lens. But nothing is confirmed and one should wait for the official and softwareAnother small but useful addition this year could be the eSIM support. This was missing on the Nothing Phone 2 and could be helpful for users who want to switch networks more easily or travel custom software, known as Nothing OS, is expected to continue offering a clean and minimal Android experience. Over time, the brand has improved software stability, and users will likely see more polish and fluid animations this time Phone 3: India price expectationsWhile global pricing leaks suggest a price tag of $799 (around Rs 68,000), the India price is expected to be more competitive. The Nothing Phone 3 might launch somewhere between Rs 50,000 and Rs 60,000, depending on the variant. This would make it a strong contender against rivals like the Pixel 9a and iPhone 16e. Carl Pei had earlier hinted that the Phone 3 could be priced at a very premium level, costing "around EUR 800." This is around $1,063 in the US and Rs 90,500 in India after conversion. Of course, this won't be the price in India because European prices are usually high. For your reference, the Nothing Phone 2 was announced in India with a starting price tag of Rs 44,999.- Ends

Poco F7 vs iQOO Neo 10: Which phone is a better buy under ₹35,000?
The mid-range smartphone segment is currently at a boiling point with a launch of number of good offerings, two of which that most catch the eye being the Poco F7 and the iQOO Neo 10 - both of which compete for more or less the same spot. But if you are in the market for a new phone, which one of them should you consider? Let's take a deep dive in this article. Poco F7 features a 6.83 inch 1.5K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 2560Hz of instant touch sampling rate. The phone packs a peak brightness of 3200 nits and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i on top. One good thing with the Poco F7 is that it comes with IP68 and IP69 rating which translates to the phone potentially being able to handle being submerged in 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes and taking in hot/cold jet sprays from any direction. Meanwhile, the iQOO Neo 10 packs a slightly smaller 6.78 inch 1.5K AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and 5,500nits of peak brightness. The Neo 10 comes with IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, meaning it isn't completely waterproof and can only potentially handle splashes and light rainfalls. The iQOO Neo 10 and Poco F7 are equally matched in the power department with both the devices being powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor with Adreno 825 GPU. They also have the same LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage options. One thing to be noted here is that iQOO comes with a lower RAM option on the base variant (8GB) compared to the Poco F7 (12GB). The Neo 10 also only supports UFS 4.1 on the 256GB and 512GB variant while the F7 gets UFS 4.1 on both the variants. A big caveat with the camera comparison is that I haven't physically tried on the Poco F7 yet which means it won't be possible for me to give the readers an empirical analysis on the mid-range phone's camera performance. That being said, even the camera specifications could give us much to differentiate the two phones by. Poco F7 comes with a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary shooter with OIS and EIS and an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens. On the front, it gets a 20MP shooter. The rear camera can shoot at a maximum of 4K 60fps while the selfie shooter can record at a maximum of 1080p at 60fps. The iQOO Neo 10 also comes with the same Sony IMX882 primary shooter with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens. However, there is a higher resolution 32MP shooter on the front with support for 4k 60fps video recording. In case you want a clean software experience, both these phones aren't necessarily made for you. If you buy any of these devices, brace yourselves for a plethora of bloatwares and ads throughout the UI. Poco runs on HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15 with the promise of 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security patches. Meanwhile, iQOO Neo 10 runs on Funtouch OS 15 with the promise of 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches. Poco F7 comes with a 7,550 mAh battery with support for 90W of wired fast charging. Meanwhile, iQOO Neo 10 comes with a 7,000mAh battery with the same 90W of wired fast charging. Both phones don't come with support for wireless charging but the massive battery size mean that unless there is a major software optimization issue one should easily get over one day of usage on either phone. iQOO Neo 10 comes at a price of ₹ 31,999 for the 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant and goes up to ₹ 40,999 for the top end 16GB RAM/512GB storage model. Poco F7, on the other hand, comes in only two variants with a price of ₹ 31,999 for the 12GB RAM/256GB model and ₹ 33,999 for the 12GB RAM/512GB variant. Poco F7 presents itself as a solid option in the sub- ₹ 35,000 price bracket and brings much of the same features as the iQOO Neo 10 with a lower price tag including the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, the 50MP Sony IMX882 primary shooter, a UFS 4.1 storage and LPDDR5x RAM. It also comes with a slightly bigger 7,550mAh battery with the same 90W of fast charging.
