What reviewers say

Good

  • Class-leading benchmark speed
  • Lively, bright screen
  • Cameras are decent
  • Very quick charging
  • Excellent performance
  • Bright display with high-frequency PWM dimming
  • Long battery life

Not so good

  • No zoom lens
  • Lots of preloaded apps
  • Plastic build feels cheap
  • Low-light photos are average
  • Narrow selfie camera with weak stabilisation
  • Jittery video stabilisation
  • No hardware proximity sensor
  • 91mobiles85/100May 2025

    Among the strongest phones below Rs 40,000, led by raw speed with good battery, fast charging and solid cameras; bloatware and few colours hold it back.

  • Smartprix82/100May 2025

    A top pick for gaming under Rs 35,000; buy the 256 GB model for faster UFS 4.1 storage and accept a plasticky build and ordinary cameras.

  • Digit76/100Jun 2025

    Performance-first all-rounder; the cheaper Neo 10R comes close, so the extra money mainly buys a better screen, faster charging and a newer chip.

  • FoneArenaRecommendedMay 2025

    Good-value performer with a long-lasting battery; the base model should have had 256 GB.

  • Android CentralRecommendedMay 2025

    Excellent value gaming phone with outstanding battery life; the main camera is fine but the setup lacks range.

What owners say

Owners like

  • Battery easily lasts a day or more, even with gaming
  • 120W charging is very quick
  • Steady high frame rates in BGMI and COD
  • Smooth, bright 144Hz screen

Common complaints

  • Some owners saw more heat, faster battery drain and FPS drops after a 2025 update
  • A few reports of reboot loops, black screen while charging and suspected motherboard failure after the July 2026 security update (not confirmed by iQOO)
  • Plastic back feels less premium
  • Ultra-wide and secondary cameras are weak
  • Speakers lack bass
  • Preloaded apps and promotions in the UI
  • Big and heavy

Cashify advises owners hit by the July 2026 update problems to visit an authorised iQOO service centre and ask for a written diagnosis; iQOO has not officially linked the update to the failures.
