iQoo is expanding its portfolio in the Indian market, and the launch of the iQoo Neo 6 - first Neo series smartphone in the country is proof of that. The device made its debut in the country a day ago and is available under the price bracket of Rs 30,000. It ships with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor to offer a high octane performance.
Not only this, but iQoo has launched some of the best smartphones in all price segments, including the iQoo 9 Pro, iQoo 9 SE and the iQoo Z6 that offer top-notch performance. In the near future, it seems like iQoo will be the only company to take on OnePlus in the flagship segment.
On the other hand, OnePlus rolled out the not so flagship OnePlus 10R in India, which is nothing but a replica of Realme GT Neo 3 with a tweaked design. The smartphone misses out on one of the signature features of OnePlus - yes, I am talking about the alert slider.
Apart from that, the OnePlus ditched the Snapdragon processor and offered a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset in the smartphone. OnePlus 10R has an entirely different design which has not impressed a lot of fans.
While both the smartphones mentioned here have a huge difference in terms of price point, they give each other a close competition when it comes to specifications and features. Here is a quick comparison between the OnePlus 10R and iQoo Neo 6 to let you know which one you should go for.

The iQoo Neo 6's has a traditional design with a punch-hole cutout at the top middle for the placement of the front sensor. At the back, we get to see the iQoo branding at the bottom middle and a rectangular camera module at the top left corner of the smartphone. The volume rockers and the power button are placed at the right spine of the device.
The OnePlus 10R offers flat edges along with a dual design at the rear panel. The camera setup placement looks a bit weird in my honest opinion. The power button of the smartphone is placed on the right spine and volume rockers on the left spine. Furthermore, removal of the alert slider is something that made the smartphone look like just another mid-ranger.
