The hype for the iQOO Neo 10 is real. Leaked specifications and official teasers give us an idea of what seems to be a high-end smartphone with astounding features. Let's dissect what we know as of now:

Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Powerhouse: The headline act is clearly the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. Boasting a 31% increase in CPU power and a 49% upgrade in GPU capabilities over its predecessor, the chip is a gaming monster and a daily powerhouse.

Dual-Chip Advantage: The iQOO Neo 10 goes one step further with the addition of the iQOO Q1 supercomputing chip. The dual-chip setup guarantees maximum performance, particularly for gamers.

Blazing-Fast Storage and RAM: LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage ensure lightning-fast app loading and data transfer speeds. The improvement claimed is 36% faster data transfer and a 49% increase in app installation speed. Expect apps and games to load almost instantaneously.

Impressive Display and Gaming Performance: Though details are yet to be announced, look for a high refresh rate display, potentially a 144Hz AMOLED screen which will provide an out-of-the-world visual experience. Gamers will love the 144FPS support, described as class-leading in its class.

Huge Battery and Rapid Charging: There is a huge 7000mAh battery with all-day battery life. And that's not all; there is 120W wired fast charging, something that makes charging a cinch. This huge battery is still accommodated in an 8.09mm thin body, which makes it one of the thinnest in its segment.

Enhanced Cooling: A 7000mm² vapor cooling chamber keeps the phone cool even when subjected to heavy loads, with maximum performance during long gaming sessions.

In addition to these main features, teasers point towards a slender design, a dual-rear camera setup, and what iQOO describes as a "segment's slimmest 7000mAh battery smartphone."
