iQOO Neo 10 Surfaces on Geekbench With Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 — A True Neo 9 Pro Successor?

After launching the iQOO Neo 10R in India as a value-packed midrange gaming phone, iQOO may be preparing a more premium successor in the form of the iQOO Neo 10. A new listing on Geekbench has revealed promising hardware, suggesting this could be the true heir to the more powerful Neo 9 Pro—not just a modest refresh.

The device, identified by the model number vivo I2405, is powered by the yet-to-be-commercially-seen Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, paired with 12GB of RAM and running Android 15. It delivered a single-core score of 2,093 and a multi-core score of 6,836, which clearly outpaces the Neo 10R’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 scores and puts it closer to upper midrange flagships.

The benchmarked CPU configuration includes a prime core clocked at 3.21GHz and three high-performance cores at 3.1GHz, matching Qualcomm’s recently revealed 8s Gen 4 specs. This points to a substantial performance leap, especially for mobile gamers and multitaskers who demand high-speed performance and smoother gameplay.

While the Neo 10R has impressed with a 6,400mAh battery and solid internals for its price, its positioning didn’t quite align with the premium expectations set by the Neo 9 Pro. With this Geekbench leak, it now seems iQOO is readying a model that lives up to the “Neo 10” name, potentially rebadging a higher-end model from the Chinese market for global launch.

There’s no official word on a release date yet, but with benchmark scores now out in the open, a launch may not be far off. If priced right, the iQOO Neo 10 could emerge as a powerful contender in the upper midrange segment—filling the performance gap between the Neo 10R and flagship iQOO models.
