iQOO Neo 6 vs. Poco F4: Both Snapdragon 870 smartphones under Rs. 30,000 are tempting, but which is better?
iQOO Neo 6 or Poco F4? Recently, the space for a smartphone under Rs. 30,000 saw two strong offers from these rather young brands. iQOO, a division of Vivo, announced the iQOO Neo 6 last month as its most affordable offering with the Snapdragon 870 chipset, promising better gaming experiences and a complete collection of mid-range specs. The iQOO Neo 6 also comes with a decent set of cameras and is currently one of the most exciting phones that money can buy at this price.
However, Poco has the same idea and manages to offer its Poco F4 at a much lower price. Launched just hours ago, the Poco F4 has almost the same kind of specification as the iQOO Neo 6, except for minor differences. It’s basically a rival to the iQOO Neo 6 and if you want to spend so much money on a productive smartphone for around Rs. 30,000, this contributes to the confusion. In the end, they both look good on paper.
Since we’ve been reviewing both smartphones lately, we’ve put both against each other, and here’s what we think.
Poco F4 vs. iQOO Neo 6 Design
Although both smartphones have a different design to flaunt, the Poco F4 is the one that pulls the lead with its glass back panel. The Poco F4 feels better built, especially with its fit and finish. This does not mean that the iQOO Neo 6 is poorly built, but the plastic design of the phone is not so desirable.
Poco F4 vs. iQOO Neo 6 display
Honestly, both smartphones are equal in terms of display specifications. Both phones have a 6.67-inch FHD + E4 AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a higher touch sampling rate. There is no built-in fingerprint scanner on any of them.
Poco F4 vs. iQOO Neo 6 Performance
The same Snapdragon 870 chip powers both the Poco F4 and the iQOO Neo 6. Therefore, this is your choice. Snapdragon 870 is a stable chipset that provides high performance, especially in terms of thermal stability and throttling. You will be able to easily play all high-end games such as COD Mobile and Apex Legends Mobile at high graphics settings.
Poco F4 vs. iQOO Neo 6 software
This is where your preferences matter. Poco uses Xiaomi’s MIUI 13 interface based on Android 12, while iQOO neo 6 uses Vivo’s FunTouch OS 12 based on Android 12. Both custom skins are full of customization features and preloaded apps. Both brands promise three years of OS updates.

Poco F4 against iQOO Neo 6 battery
The iQOO Neo 6 on paper has a larger battery of 4700mAh compared to the 4500mAh battery of the Poco F4. The iQOO Neo 6 offers 80W fast charging, while the Poco F4 has 67W fast charging.
