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. The iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro features bypass charging, which allows the phone to continue charging while being used, potentially minimizing heat and improving the user experience. This feature also supports third-party PPS chargers up to 100W
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.
