iQOO 10 review: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, BMW livery, 120 W charging — the cool-running flagship.
The iQOO 9 that finally ran cool.
iQOO 10 fixed the 9's big problem — heat — by switching to the TSMC-fabbed 8+ Gen 1 and pairing it with 50 W wireless charging on top of the 120 W wired. The IP gap and China-only release kept it niche; for gaming-flagship value of its era it was hard to beat.
