00:00There's a stereotype on gaming and performance centric phones that you don't get a good camera.
00:05But, I've been using this brand new iQOO Neo 10R for the past few days.
00:09And its camera is actually not bad.
00:12And in today's video, we're going to talk about its performance, gaming and camera.
00:16And we'll see if this phone breaks the stereotype or not.
00:20But before that, if you're new to the channel, don't forget to subscribe.
00:23So, let's start with the camera where you get a 50MP plus 8MP dual camera setup.
00:28It has a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide lens.
00:31And if we talk about the front, you get a 32MP selfie camera as well.
00:35Obviously, this is not a camera centric phone, so you don't get any telephoto camera here.
00:40But even after being a full on performance centric phone, the camera is actually not bad.
00:44In fact, better than my expectations.
00:46You can see these camera samples that I've captured in different scenarios.
00:50The main and ultrawide camera of this phone doesn't have much difference in colors.
00:55You get similar colors.
00:56It also captures details well from the main camera.
00:59The colors are also looking good.
01:00It's not natural, but you get vibrant and punchy colors here.
01:04By the way, you get 3 modes here.
01:05Vivid, Textured and Natural.
01:07In Vivid, you get a little saturated and punchy colors.
01:11And in Textured, you get a little dark colors.
01:13Along with that, you get a little vignette effect.
01:16And you also get a natural option here.
01:19In which you get colors that are close to natural.
01:22And if we talk about portraits, edge detection is also good here.
01:26Again, the colors are not accurate here.
01:28They are a little saturated.
01:29But they are looking good.
01:31If you like natural colors, then you might not like this.
01:34Same with selfie camera.
01:36Edge detection is good here.
01:37Sometimes, it just messes up a little.
01:39And the colors look saturated here.
01:41Skin tones are also good.
01:43Again, it's not natural.
01:44But you get sharp photos with good details here.
01:47In portrait mode, there are many styles available here.
01:50Which are really cool.
01:51And you are going to get something for every mood here.
01:54Here, you can also see some photos.
01:56Which have a lot of colors in the back.
01:59Which you can see are looking very punchy and saturated.
02:02You are going to get a little saturated photos all over with this camera.
02:06Look, this phone doesn't have any telephoto camera.
02:08So, you don't get any macro photos option.
02:10But still, I have taken this photo in close-up.
02:12In which, it has captured good details.
02:15And I have taken some more photos of flowers here.
02:18In which, the colors are looking good.
02:20By the way, you also get a fisheye mode here.
02:21With which, you can also take some cool circular shots.
02:25Now, if we talk about the videos.
02:26You can record videos from its rear camera up to 4K 60fps.
02:30And from its front camera up to 4K 30fps.
02:33By the way, only 30fps is supported in its front camera.
02:36So, if you record a video on 1080p as well.
02:38Then also, you are going to get support up to 30fps.
02:41By the way, you get two stabilization modes in this phone.
02:44A standard and an ultra.
02:45Where, if you want to use ultra stabilization.
02:48Then, it only works up to 1080p 60fps.
02:51And you can also see some of these video samples.
03:01Steady mode is still fine.
03:02But, in this ultra steady mode.
03:04Videos start jittering a little.
03:06And yes, you also get many movie LUTs for different scenarios.
03:11Along with that, you can also adjust this aperture.
03:13And you can also add bokeh effect in the videos.
03:16If you use bokeh effect or any filter on its rear camera.
03:20Then, you can only record videos in 1080p 30fps.
03:23In 4K, your bokeh effect gets off.
03:26By the way, you can't even turn on the stabilization mode.
03:29If you turn on the bokeh mode.
03:31So, you can also see this video.
03:33As it is being recorded without stabilization.
03:36So, obviously, you are not going to get that much stable footage.
03:38Because, the stabilization mode is turned off here.
03:41But, I think it captures colors quite well.
03:44It's looking a little warm.
03:45It's looking a little saturated.
03:48But, I think edge detection does it quite well.
03:50One more thing to keep in mind.
03:51You can't use filters and bokeh effect together.
03:54Either you can use filters or bokeh effect.
03:57I have shifted to the front camera now.
03:59And this video is being recorded from the front camera.
04:01Where I have turned on the bokeh mode.
04:04And if you turn on the bokeh mode from the front camera.
04:06Then, you can only record videos in 1080p 30fps.
04:09And the steady mode doesn't work in this as well.
04:12So, you are not going to get smooth stabilized footage.
04:16But, yes.
04:17The dynamic range is good.
04:19I am against the light.
04:20And, the light is balancing well.
04:22The colors and skin tones are quite good.
04:24And, if you look at the edge detection in the fingers.
04:28It's doing quite decent.
04:30So, it's good.
04:32The video output is looking quite good.
04:33From the front camera as well.
04:35How do you feel about the skin tones and edge detection of the front camera?
04:39Tell me in the comments.
04:40Now, we come to the main segment.
04:42Performance and Gaming.
04:44In this phone, you get Qualcomm Snapdragon 8S Gen 3.
04:47And, if we talk about the RAM.
04:48You get 2 RAM options, 8GB and 12GB.
04:51And, it's a LPDDR5X RAM.
04:53And, if we talk about the storage.
04:54You get 2 storage options as well.
04:56One is 128GB and the other is 256GB.
04:59In the 128GB variant.
05:01You get a storage type of UFS 3.1.
05:03And, 256GB is a UFS 4.1.
05:07By the way, I have the top variant.
05:08With 12GB of RAM and 256GB storage.
05:11In this raging blue colour.
05:13I mean, it doesn't look like blue.
05:15It's like a purple and white combination.
05:17With a pixelated transition between the colours.
05:20It looks quite cool.
05:21It gives a gaming vibe.
05:22By the way, it's polycarbonated back.
05:24Along with the VC cooling on the phone.
05:26You also get a good display for a good gaming experience.
05:29It's a 6.78 inch 1.5K AMOLED HDR10 Plus display.
05:34Which is crisp, vivid.
05:35And, the colours also look quite good in the display.
05:37The brightness is also good.
05:38It struggles a little in outdoor.
05:40But, overall it's good.
05:42And, I also ran some benchmarks in this phone.
05:44Like Antutu Benchmark.
05:45Where I got a score of 14.6 lakhs.
05:48And, in Geekbench's single core.
05:49I got 1888.
05:51And, in multi-core I got 4831.
05:53And, I also ran Geekbench's GPU benchmarks.
05:55And, here are the scores.
05:57While running these benchmarks.
05:58The phone got a little hot.
06:00But, to test its real performance.
06:02I did gaming in this phone.
06:04Where I played heavy games like BGMI, Call of Duty and Genshin Impact.
06:09Where I played the game in 120 FPS on Call of Duty.
06:13The frame rate was stable.
06:14I got a smooth experience.
06:16Because of the 120 Hz display.
06:18Where you also get a touch sampling rate up to 300 Hz.
06:22As such, I didn't face any jitter or lag.
06:24On the side, you also get the game's dashboard.
06:26Where you can see CPU status, frame rate.
06:28Or, you also get other options.
06:30Like silent call, notifications, voice changer.
06:33There is also an e-sport mode.
06:35Which enables mis-touch prevention, background calls and block notification.
06:41You also get a 4D vibration option here.
06:44Which only works properly in BGMI.
06:47Rest, I didn't feel it in Call of Duty and Genshin Impact.
06:51But, overall the haptics of this phone is quite good.
06:54If we talk about BGMI.
06:55It plays in 90 FPS.
06:57In smooth extreme plus setting.
06:59And, as such, I didn't face any jitter or lag.
07:02And, for BGMI, the 4D haptics of this phone are also optimised.
07:07So, you are going to get a good experience.
07:09And, you will actually enjoy BGMI gameplay in this phone.
07:12Here, you also get the option of motion control.
07:14With which you can use gyroscope in any phone and play the game.
07:18Just by enabling motion control, you have to map all the buttons.
07:21And, if we talk about Genshin Impact.
07:23I maxed out all the settings and played the game.
07:25And, on 30 minutes of gaming, the phone got quite hot.
07:29And, after that, I got to see a little frame drop.
07:31In between, the game was lagging a little.
07:33But, in medium settings, you don't get to see these issues.
07:36And, in long gaming hours, you will get up to 55 FPS gameplay on an average.
07:41Which is actually good.
07:42To test the performance of this phone, I also edited the video here.
07:46I used the VN Editor app.
07:48And, created a 4K timeline on it.
07:50With some text and filter.
07:52There was a 1 minute timeline on which I used the 4K 60 FPS video.
07:56And, it took 1 minute to render.
07:58Which is actually good.
07:59But, while editing, the timeline was lagging a little.
08:02And, if we talk about the overall thermals.
08:04So, if you do continuous heavy performance work.
08:07Like gaming or video editing.
08:09For even an hour, the phone gets hot here.
08:12Now, if we talk about the battery.
08:13So, you get a 6400 mAh big battery in this phone.
08:17Which supports 80 Watt of fast charging.
08:20Which is actually great in this form factor.
08:22Because, it doesn't feel so heavy.
08:24That it has a 6400 mAh battery.
08:26I also did a charging test of this phone.
08:28Where, it took 1 hour and 3 minutes to charge from 0 to 100.
08:32If you use this phone normally, day to day.
08:34Then, you will get 1.5 days of battery backup.
08:37And, if you do some gaming daily.
08:39I mean, if you use it a little heavy.
08:41Then, even after that, this phone will easily run for a day.
08:44But, if you want to do continuous gaming.
08:46Then, I will tell you.
08:47That you can do non-stop continuous gaming for 5 to 6 hours.
08:51On a single charge.
08:52So, you get a very good battery in this phone.
08:55For sure.
08:56Now, coming to the final conclusion.
08:57I can tell you that this phone is not just about performance and gaming.
09:01You also get a decent camera here.
09:04And, even the AI features like photo eraser.
09:06Is better than most other Android phones.
09:09And, obviously, the gaming experience here is also going to be good.
09:12Look, at this price point, you get more phones with the same processor.
09:16But, usually, in this segment, all the heavy performance phones.
09:19You get a full HD plus display in all of them.
09:22But, here you get a 1.5K resolution display.
09:26Which is actually really good.
09:28I just think, the thermals of this phone could have been a little better.
09:32Now, finally, the question arises.
09:33Who should buy this phone?
09:34And, who shouldn't?
09:35So, if you want a performance centric phone.
09:38With good battery and good display.
09:40Then, you can absolutely go with this.
09:42Because, in this price, you won't get a combination of all three.
09:45But, if you want a good camera in your phone.
09:47And, if you are ready to compromise in performance.
09:50Then, obviously, you get better phone options in the market.
09:53Like the Vivo V50.
09:55And, if your budget is a little less.
09:56Then, you get the same 8th Gen 3 processor.
09:58In Poco F6, you get it at a lower price.
10:01So, you tell me in the comments.
