The iQOO provides the larger screen, higher refresh rate, and higher peak-brightness figure. This can benefit supported games and outdoor viewing. The POCO offers much stronger ingress protection. Its IP68 and IP69 ratings provide a higher level of verified water resistance than the iQOO's IP65 rating.
→ Keep in mind: The 144Hz refresh rate does not operate in every app or game. Software support and display settings determine when the higher refresh rate is used.
Performance and software
The POCO X7 Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra, while the iQOO Neo 10R uses the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.

The POCO records the higher overall AnTuTu and multi-core Geekbench scores. Its Dimensity 8400 Ultra provides more processing headroom in demanding games and processor-heavy applications. The iQOO records the higher Geekbench single-core result in the comparable testing data.
→ Buy this if: Choose the POCO X7 Pro if overall performance and graphics scores matter more. The iQOO remains suitable for demanding gaming and adds software features focused on sustained gameplay.
Camera features
Both phones have a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation and an 8MP ultra-wide camera, while the iQOO has the higher-resolution 32MP selfie camera.

The main rear camera specifications are closely matched. Both also support 4K rear-camera recording at up to 60 frames per second. The iQOO has the more capable front-camera specification. Its 32MP selfie camera also supports up to 4K video, which can matter for video calls, vlogging, and social content.
→ Pro tip: Neither phone includes a dedicated telephoto camera. If optical zoom is important, this is a trade-off worth considering before buying either model.
Storage and connectivity
The POCO X7 Pro comes with 256GB storage across its main India variants, while the iQOO Neo 10R offers 128GB and 256GB choices.
