    iQOO Neo 10 Launches in Malaysia with Dual Flagship Chips, Groundbreaking Performance, and Unrivaled Battery Life. iQOO has officially introduced its highly anticipated Neo series to the Malaysian market with the debut of the iQOO Neo 10, setting a new benchmark in performance, design, and user experience for the mid-premium smartphone segment. Engineered with a dual flagship-chip architecture, the Neo 10 combines the Snapdragon® 8s Gen 4 Mobile Platform and the proprietary Supercomputing Chip Q1, delivering cutting-edge performance tailored for multitasking, gaming, and immersive media consumption. The Snapdragon chipset introduces Qualcomm’s first all-big-core architecture, boasting a 49% performance uplift and a 39% boost in power efficiency compared to its predecessor—scoring an impressive 2,426,162 on the AnTuTu Benchmark. With support for up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and Extended RAM technology, users can seamlessly run up to 52 background apps without compromising speed or fluidity.

    What truly sets the iQOO Neo 10 apart is its Supercomputing Chip Q1, which elevates gaming to a console-like level through features like Game Super Resolution and Ultra-Low-Latency Frame Interpolation, supporting frame rates of up to 144 FPS. Enhanced image rendering and visual algorithms also optimize video clarity on platforms such as YouTube and Netflix, surpassing native resolution. The gaming experience is further bolstered by a massive 7,000 mm² vapor chamber cooling system, the largest ever in an iQOO device, maintaining peak performance under intense workloads. Complementing this is a Pyrolytic Graphite Sheet that targets localized heat sources, ensuring device stability even during extended live streaming and video recording sessions.

    The iQOO Neo 10 features an industry-leading 7,000 mAh battery supported by 120W FlashCharge technology, allowing a full charge from 0% to 100% in just 36 minutes. Built with Gen 3 Silicon BlueVolt Battery tech, it delivers optimal performance even in sub-zero temperatures down to -20℃, while Bypass Charging minimizes heat and prolongs battery lifespan. On the display front, the device sports a 1.5K 144 Hz AMOLED Eyecare Display certified by SGS for sunlight readability, capable of reaching 2,000 nits of peak brightness. It also offers 4320 Hz PWM dimming and Full-Range DC-like Dimming, dramatically reducing eye strain during prolonged usage.

    Visually, the Neo 10 features a futuristic and premium design with color options like Desert Gold and Astral Black. With a slim 8.09 mm profile and a manageable 206g weight, it ensures a comfortable grip for everyday use. On the imaging side, the device is equipped with a 50 MP Sony IMX882 main camera with OIS and full-pixel autofocus, supported by NICE imaging algorithms that refine depth and color accuracy. The result is sharp, vivid photography across various lighting scenarios and environments.

    Durability is another strong suit of the iQOO Neo 10. Built with Shield Glass, a Durable Cushioning Structure, and Drop-Resistant Protective Film, the phone meets Military-Grade Certification standards. It also carries an IP65 rating, ensuring protection against dust and water. Running on Funtouch OS 15, the Neo 10 delivers a 60-month smooth experience thanks to advanced anti-aging software optimizations. Additionally, integrated AI features enhance both productivity and creativity, from intelligent editing to system-wide efficiency tools.

    In conjunction with the launch, iQOO Malaysia has rolled out the Campus Esports Tournament, bringing competitive gaming to students nationwide. It’s paired with the #PowerToWinChallengeMY on TikTok, a campaign that merges gaming, dance, and creativity to engage fans across digital platforms.

    Bateriku.com and RYDE EV Join Forces to Accelerate Electric Mobility and Empower the Gig Economy in Malaysia. In a groundbreaking move set to redefine Malaysia’s electric mobility landscape, Bateriku.com, the country’s leading vehicle support ecosystem, has announced a strategic partnership with RYDE EV, a rising force in electric vehicle (EV) technology. The collaboration was launched at the Bateriku Pitstop in Cheras, and is poised to revolutionize sustainable transportation by introducing cutting-edge EV infrastructure and services while creating new economic opportunities for local communities.

    At the heart of the initiative is the rollout of EV Swap Stations and ICE-to-EV conversion services, reflecting a bold commitment to making electric mobility more practical, scalable, and inclusive. The EV Swap Stations will be established at 10 Bateriku Pitstop locations across the Klang Valley, allowing EV users to quickly and conveniently replace depleted batteries — drastically reducing downtime. This offering is further strengthened by training programs, ensuring that users and technicians alike can effectively operate and maintain the technology.

    Additionally, the partnership will promote affordable conversion of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles into EVs — offering Malaysians a cost-effective way to transition toward cleaner transport. These innovations are supported by Bateriku.com’s BHero gig economy model, which mobilizes a trained network of mobile technicians and micro-entrepreneurs to deliver EV-related services across the nation. This model not only enhances service accessibility but also empowers individuals with new income opportunities and fosters digital entrepreneurship.

    Rooted in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, the partnership prioritizes environmental responsibility and inclusive growth. The initiative includes environmentally sound battery lifecycle management, with efforts to recondition and repurpose used batteries where possible, and ethically dispose of unusable batteries through certified Department of Environment (DOE) channels.

    Mr. Azarol Faizi, CEO of Bateriku.com, highlighted the impact of the partnership:
    “Our collaboration with RYDE EV marks a bold step toward building a smarter, greener future. We’re not just supporting Malaysia’s EV ecosystem — we’re creating jobs, nurturing entrepreneurs, and making meaningful contributions to our national sustainability goals.”

    Mr. Syed Ahmad Faiz, CEO of RYDE EV, echoed this vision:
    “This partnership allows us to bring EV technology to the grassroots level. From quick-swap stations to converting petrol cars into clean EVs, it’s about making sustainable mobility truly accessible — a future that all Malaysians can drive toward.”

    The initiative is a critical milestone in Malaysia’s journey toward green transportation, especially as demand for smart, sustainable mobility solutions continues to grow. By combining Bateriku.com’s nationwide reach and established gig economy model with RYDE EV’s technical innovation, the partnership creates a powerful ecosystem where EV adoption, grassroots entrepreneurship, and environmental stewardship thrive together.

    Established in 2014, Bateriku.com has evolved from an on-demand battery replacement service into a fully integrated mobility ecosystem. With over 200 Pitstops nationwide, more than 1.5 million customers served, and a regional footprint that includes Indonesia, the company continues to lead innovation in the automotive services space. Through its Akademi Bateriku, the company also invests in training for both internal staff and external partners, ensuring high service standards and a skilled workforce.

    As Malaysia advances its Smart City and sustainability goals, this partnership between Bateriku.com and RYDE EV exemplifies how public-private collaboration and innovation can drive a cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive future for all.

Echoing this, DNB CEO Datuk Azman Ismail highlighted the critical role of 5G infrastructure in enabling next-generation urban solutions, stating that the Expo will underscore how real-time connectivity can power intelligent systems and resilient urban ecosystems.

    SCEKL25 also holds strategic regional importance as Malaysia takes on the ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025. The event will support the implementation of the ASEAN Master Plan on Connectivity 2025, fostering stronger physical, institutional, and people-to-people linkages across member nations. It is expected to attract over 2,000 delegates and 10,000 visitors, including international participants, and generate opportunities in trade, foreign investment, and cross-border collaboration.
