Poco F7 Pro vs iQOO Neo 10: Gaming Beast vs Battery King – Head to Head!

Hello Gamers and Tech Lovers! In this detailed head-to-head comparison, we bring you two mid-range powerhouses – Poco F7 Pro and iQOO Neo 10. On one hand, the Poco F7 Pro, which everyone calls the “Gaming Beast” because of its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. On the other hand, the iQOO Neo 10, which is called the “Battery King” – is absolutely awesome in daily use with its 7000mAh huge battery, 120W fast charging and 144Hz display.

We will not just show the list of specs here. In each section, we will cover everything in depth, based on benchmark reports and publicly available test data. Let’s find out the details from start to finish.

1. Design and Build Quality

Both the Poco F7 Pro and iQOO Neo 10 weigh 206 grams and are 8.1 mm thick. But the Poco F7 Pro is clearly ahead. It has Gorilla Glass 7i on the front and back, an aluminum frame, and is IP68/IP69 rated. This means it can withstand being submerged in 2.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes. It has a premium feel when held in the hand and the size is also quite compact (160.3 x 75 x 8.1 mm). This phone will be safe even if your hands sweat while gaming or you go out in the rain.

On the other hand, the iQOO Neo 10 has glass on the front but a plastic back and frame are used on the back. It has an IP65 rating and MIL-STD-810H certification. The phone is a little bigger (163.7 x 75.9 x 8.1 mm). Due to its slightly larger dimensions, the iQOO feels a bit bigger in hand. Overall, the Poco F7 Pro has a much more premium feel in terms of build quality.

2. Display – Which is more comfortable on the eyes?

The Poco F7 Pro has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 3200 (526 ppi), 120Hz refresh rate and 3200 nits peak brightness. It has Dolby Vision, HDR10+ support and 3840Hz PWM dimming. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i. This display is excellent in sharpness and color accuracy.

The iQOO Neo 10 has a 6.78-inch AMOLED with a resolution of 1260 x 2800 (453 ppi), 144Hz refresh rate and 4400 nits peak brightness. There is 4320Hz PWM dimming. It feels much smoother in scrolling and gaming. In bright outdoors, the iQOO is slightly ahead. However, in terms of sharpness and color, the Poco F7 Pro wins here. Even the touch response of the F7 Pro is very fast compared to the Neo 10.

3. Performance – Who is the real Gaming Beast?

The Poco F7 Pro uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset which gives flagship level performance. On the other hand, the iQOO Neo 10 has the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. Both are very close in benchmarks, but Poco is ahead in sustained performance. In AnTuTu v11, iQOO scores slightly higher (23,91,065 vs 22,81,773). In Geekbench 6, Poco scores better in single core (2230 vs 2107) and is ahead in multi core (6733 vs 6631). In 3DMark Steel Nomad, the stability of Poco is 82% and iQOO’s is 76%.

According to gaming test data, the Poco F7 Pro manages to maintain a Smooth + of 90/120 FPS in BGMI and sustains 60 FPS in the long term in Genshin Impact. Temperatures are under control and throttling is very minimal. The iQOO Neo 10 has a good 120 FPS support but does experience frame drops in long sessions and gets a little hot in some tests. Overall, the Poco (68) beats the iQOO (59) in gaming scores. So it can be called a true Gaming Beast.

4. Battery and Charging – The Reign of the Battery King

The Poco F7 Pro has a 6000 mAh battery that supports 90W charging. It takes about 37 minutes to charge from 0 to 100%. In real test report, it lasts for more than 6 hours in gaming, 14.5 hours in video, and 141 hours in standby. It offers good performance but is a little behind the iQOO.

The iQOO Neo 10 has a 7000 mAh noticeably larger battery. It charges much faster with the help of 120W charging. In heavy use (gaming + streaming) it can last for about 1 day on a single full charge. So it can be called a true Battery King.

5. Camera

The Poco F7 Pro has a 50MP main + 8MP ultrawide camera setup. It gives good wide angle shots, can record 8K@24fps video, and supports slo-mo 1920 FPS. The image quality is decent in daylight and night mode.

The iQOO Neo 10 has the same 50MP main sensor, but it has a 32MP selfie camera, which is better than the 20MP. 4K@60fps selfie video can be recorded. iQOO is ahead here for selfies and video calls. Overall, both cameras are good in daylight, but Poco is a little sharper at night.

6. Software and others

The F7 Pro runs on HyperOS 2 (Android 15) and promises 6 years of updates. It has stereo speakers, IR blaster, NFC and additional audio codecs (aptX Adaptive, LDAC). The software experience is fairly smooth and feature-rich.

The Neo 10 runs on Funtouch OS 15 (Android 15). It comes with 3 years of major updates. It also has stereo speakers, IR blaster and NFC features. However, the audio quality is not as good as the Poco. HyperOS offers more features and longer software support, while Funtouch OS may feel cleaner and lighter to some users.

Final Verdict

If you want gaming, performance and display sharpness, you should get Poco F7 Pro. It is a true Gaming Beast. On the other hand, if you want big battery life, fast charging, preimi display, smooth UI and selfies, iQOO Neo 10 will be the best choice – Battery King.
