Listen to the story

IQOO can probably plan to expand its NEO series with a new major device, according to the recent leakage. This device is called IQO NEO 10s Pro+, although it can use a better name, possibly run by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset. According to Tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo, IQO is working on a new phone that can be part of the NEO 10S series. While tipster did not clearly named the device, the details shared suggest that it can be an upper-middle-range model, possibly Neo 10S Pro+.
The IQO NEO 10s Pro+ features a 6.82 -inch flat OLED display with 2K resolution. Additionally, the screen will allegedly include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, one step above the optical fingerprint sensor that we have seen in the Middle-range IQO phone.

What is particularly interesting is mentioning an independent graphics chip, which can increase gaming performance and overall figure capabilities. Under the hood, the device is expected to be operated by Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset. For reference, the current NEO 9s Pro+ has Snapdragon 8 General 3 chip, so Snapdragon 8 Elite can possibly make its way for the NEO 10s Pro+ if the phone is released somewhere in the middle of the year. It will also align with the timeline for the required launch of the second generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip.
While DCS did not reveal the complete specifications of the device, it is advisable to assume that the NEO 10s Pro+ will share similarities with the existing NEO 10 Pro. If so, we can expect a double camera setup with a 6,100mAh battery with two 50-megapixel sensors, 16-megapixel front-facing camera and 120W fast charging support. The device is likely to run at the original 5 based on Android 15.
Along with the Pro+ Model -IQO is expected to launch the NEO 10s Pro, which may be equipped with 9400+ chipset. The processor is rumored to debut in China on 11 April.
After saying this, we have to wait and see if and when these phones have been released in India. For now, IQO has announced the launch of NEO 10R, set to debut on March 11, 2025. This device has been confirmed to facilitate Snapdragon 8S General 3 chipset and 6.78-inch 1.5k AMOLED display. NEO 10R has been offered a large 6,400mAh battery with a dedicated e-Sports mode, 2,000 Hz touch sampling rates and 80W fast charging, keeping gamers in mind. It plays a smooth design, which measures just 7.98 mm in thickness.
