Realme 15 Pro Plus India Launch: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 7,000 mAh Battery, ₹28,999 Starting Price I still remember standing in a small mobile shop in Connaught Place five years ago, holding my first Realme phone. The device was surprisingly snappy, yet affordable - an unusual combination at the time. It felt like Realme had cracked the code for Indian buyers seeking high performance without spending a fortune. Today, the launch of the Realme 15 Pro Plus promises to revisit that philosophy, but with a far more ambitious approach. This article evaluates whether Realme’s latest midrange flagship lives up to the hype, combining real-world hands-on impressions, local insights, and verified specifications. Power Under the Hood: Midrange Performance Redefined The Realme 15 Pro Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, while the standard Realme 15 comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300+ SoC. Both are built on efficient 4nm fabrication processes, promising higher performance and better th...
iQOO Neo 10 Certified in Indonesia: Global Launch Imminent with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
I remember covering a Neo launch in Bangalore last year—crowds buzzing around the demo units, eager to feel the display and test the cameras. Michael B. Norris, a 10‑year tech journalist at TrendingAlone, reports fresh leaks and certification updates ahead of the Neo 10 series launch.
Key Takeaways
Neo 10 Pro+ leaked specs include 6.82″ 2K OLED, Snapdragon 8 Elite, 120W fast charging.
Neo 10 cleared SDPPI certification in Indonesia under model I2405.
The leaks and certifications suggest a coordinated launch across China, India, and Indonesia soon.

Leaked at the Top
According to a Weibo tipster, “the Neo 10 Pro+ will ship with a 2K OLED screen and Snapdragon 8 Elite,” alongside “120W charging and 50‑megapixel main sensor.” This scoop arrives just days before iQOO’s official China event. In my quick hands‑on style analysis of leaked specs, this device seems aimed squarely at high‑performance flagships.
Meanwhile, the base Neo 10 (model I2405) has cleared Indonesia’s SDPPI certification following its BIS approval in India. That typically means final regulatory clearance for markets where iQOO is expanding.

Price & Availability
iQOO Neo 10 Pro+: Expected around ₹45,000–₹50,000 ($540–$600).
Comparison: Realme GT 7 (Snapdragon 8 Elite) ~₹42,999; Samsung Galaxy A series mid-range is ₹25,000–₹30,000; Apple iPhone SE starts at ₹43,900.
Neo 10: Likely ₹35,000–₹40,000 ($420–$480), matching Redmi K80 series prices.
Certification clearance in India and Indonesia suggests the base Neo 10 will be available in these markets within weeks of the China debut. The Pro+ may follow, depending on pricing strategy.
Why It Matters to Indian Android Fans
Indian Android users are hungry for flagship‑grade experiences under ₹50,000. The rumored 2K OLED and Snapdragon 8 Elite combo puts Neo 10 Pro+ in a sweet spot, offering features often seen only on ₹70,000+ devices. The Neo 10’s certification shows iQOO is bringing serious value, not just to China but to price‑sensitive markets.
Standing Out from the Crowd
Top articles on sites like GSMArena and TechRadar have covered the leak, but few highlight how iQOO is threading the needle between flagship specs and mid‑range affordability specifically for India. This gap gives us an edge—Indian users get a device that challenges Samsung’s A-series and Apple’s entry-level SE without compromise.
Industry Reactions
Rajiv Mehta, an analyst at TechInsights India, said, “If iQOO prices the Pro+ under ₹50,000, it will be hard for Samsung and OnePlus to compete.” Local retailer Sunil Chopra added, “Certification in Indonesia means stock will ship faster, avoiding long import delays.”
First‑Impression Commentary
In my quick hands‑on style observation of the spec sheet, the 2K OLED panel stands out. Competing phones in this price range usually stick to 1080p, so this feels like a TV‑level upgrade. Also, 120 W charging hints at an impressive 0–100% in under 30 minutes—useful for gamers on the move.
Competitor Showdown
Realme GT 7: Also Snapdragon 8 Elite, but capped at 120 Hz FHD+ screen.
Samsung Galaxy A‑series: Reliable but mid-tier specs (90–120 Hz 1080p).
Apple iPhone SE: Compact and fast but older design and small screen.
With these specs, Neo 10 Pro+ appears more premium and competitively priced.
What to Expect on Launch Day
Official pricing and configurations for China, India, Indonesia
Confirmation of battery size (likely 5000‑5500 mAh)
Performance testing results—day‑to‑day gaming and multitasking
Availability details: online flash sales vs retail stocking
Launch‑day offers—cashbacks, bundled accessories
Stay tuned as iQOO’s launch draws near. We’ll cover hands‑on impressions and in‑depth reviews once devices reach our newsroom.
“Logic Meets Real‑World Use”
At a Neo launch in Bangalore last year, users told me they loved the screen brightness and game performance but wanted better battery life. This leak seems to address both—higher‑resolution panel, more power, faster charging. If power‑hungry titles like Asphalt run smoothly with long battery life, this Neo series could be a landmark for Indian Android users.
