The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, built on a 4nm process, boasts a flagship “1 + 5 + 2” octa-core architecture, delivering a 31% boost in CPU performance, 49% increase in GPU performance, and 44% uplift in AI capabilities compared to its predecessor. And with an AnTuTu score of over 2.42 million, it’s the segment’s most powerful processor and fastest smartphone in its class under Rs 30K.

So, whether you’re editing documents, streaming HD content, or switching between social media and work apps, the iQOO Neo 10 just flies through it. And, iQOO promises a 60-month lag-free experience, ensuring smooth multitasking for years. This Performance Triangle of higher speed, lower power consumption, and smoother experience makes the Neo 10 the segment’s most powerful smartphone.
