NEW DELHI: iQOO lists the Neo 10 at Rs 48,999 and the iQOO 15R at Rs 59,999 in India for their 12GB RAM and 256GB storage versions. The matched memory configurations make the differences easier to see: the 15R has a different Snapdragon platform and a larger battery, while the Neo 10 has a larger screen and a higher wired charging rating.

The prices refer to matching memory versions
These are the prices displayed against the named configurations on iQOO's Indian store. They are not amounts reconstructed after an exchange, a credit card benefit or an instalment calculation. The colour is included because an online catalogue can attach its visible price to a particular stock entry.
The comparison also avoids mixing a cheaper memory version of one phone with a more expensive version of the other. Both entries have the same physical RAM and advertised storage. Other capacities appear on the specification pages, but their prices are outside this comparison.
Different chips and different gaming hardware
The Neo 10 uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, accompanied by iQOO's Q1 gaming chip. The 15R lists Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and the Q2 companion chip. Those names describe separate hardware platforms; the letter in the Neo's processor name is part of its model designation.
iQOO promotes frame processing features on both phones. Its 15R page specifically describes frame interpolation and says some features depend on software updates. Such processing should not be read as a promise that every game runs at the advertised frame rate using its own native rendering.
Battery capacity and charging move in different directions
The 15R has the larger typical battery capacity, while the Neo 10 carries the higher charging power figure. That gives the pair a less straightforward relationship than a simple price ladder might suggest. The more expensive listing does not lead on every specification.
A charging power rating is not a measured full-charge time. Battery size, temperature, the charger and the phone's charging controls all matter. Likewise, the capacity figures do not establish how long either phone will last during navigation, video calls or gaming on an Indian mobile network.
Screen size changes the shape of the comparison
The Neo 10 offers the larger display diagonal. Both panels are AMOLED, and both product pages advertise refresh rates up to 144Hz. The resolution figures in the table are taken from the separate parameter sheets, rather than treating the shared 1.5K marketing label as an identical pixel count.
The 15R is also shorter and narrower according to the official dimensions. Its Triumph Silver version weighs 206g, the same weight listed for the Neo 10. A smaller display therefore does not automatically mean a lighter phone in the specific colours compared here.
Similar camera counts, distinct main sensors
Both phones pair a main camera with an ultrawide and use a front camera with the same advertised resolution. The 15R identifies its main sensor as Sony LYT-700V. The shared megapixel counts alone do not establish equal results in indoor light, moving subjects or video.
The biometric hardware also differs. iQOO lists an optical fingerprint sensor for the Neo 10 and a 3D ultrasonic sensor for the 15R. These are concrete changes beyond the processor and battery, even though the store prices compare the same memory capacities.
Software commitments need their own reading
The 15R product page specifies four generations of Android version upgrades and six years of security updates. That is a support commitment, separate from marketing language about long-term smoothness. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee of identical app performance throughout ownership.
This is a comparison of published Indian prices and specifications, rather than a hands-on performance verdict. The official pages establish the hardware differences clearly, but they do not provide a common real-world battery or camera test from which to declare an overall winner.
