βœ… Pros
  • Huge 7,300 mAh battery with genuinely fast 90W charging
  • Bright, curved 120Hz AMOLED with high PWM dimming (eye-comfort)
  • MIL-STD-810H + IP65 durability at this price
  • Clean-ish Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15, 2 major OS upgrades promised
  • OIS on the main 50MP sensor β€” rare in the segment
❌ Cons
  • UFS 2.2 storage β€” slower than UFS 3.1/4.0 rivals
  • Mono speaker only (no stereo β€” confirmed on official page)
  • "Dual camera" is really one usable sensor + a 2MP depth filler; no ultra-wide
  • Front camera tops out at 1080p video (despite marketing β€” see below)
  • Plastic frame; Wi-Fi 5 only on the Indian unit

Weight199g
FramePlastic, quad-curved AMOLED front
DurabilityMIL-STD-810H compliant
Water/Dust⚠ Sources differ: iQOO claims IP65; GSMArena lists only "splash resistant." iQOO's own fine print does confirm IP65 (IEC 60529).

Refresh Rate120Hz
PWM Dimming3840Hz
Peak Brightness5000 nits (local peak) β€” both sources agree
High-Brightness Mode⚠ Sources differ: iQOO KV cites 1050 nits HBM; GSMArena lists 1300 nits HBM.
ExtrasP3 gamut, Netflix/Prime HDR, low blue light

βš™οΈ Platform
ChipsetQualcomm SM7635 Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (4nm)
CPUOcta-core (1x2.5GHz A720 + 3x2.4GHz A720 + 4x1.8GHz A520)
GPUAdreno 810
OSAndroid 15 + Funtouch OS 15 (up to 2 major OS upgrades)
AnTuTu~822,705 (vivo lab figure β€” vendor-quoted)

πŸ’Ύ Memory & Storage
RAM8GB / 12GB (LPDDR4X) + up to 12GB virtual/extended
Storage128GB / 256GB (UFS 2.2)
Card SlotNo
Variants⚠ Sources differ: GSMArena also lists a 512GB/12GB variant. iQOO's India page does not β€” 512GB is a non-India/global config, not sold here.

πŸ“· Rear Camera
Main50MP Sony IMX882, f/1.8, 1/1.95", 0.8Β΅m, PDAF, OIS
Second "lens"2MP depth/bokeh, f/2.4
Flash / FeaturesLED flash, HDR, panorama
Video4K@30fps, 1080p@30/60fps, gyro-EIS
Reality check: marketing frames this as a "dual camera," but the 2MP is a token depth sensor, not a second usable camera. There is no ultra-wide and no telephoto β€” effectively a single-camera phone.


🀳 Front Camera
Sensor32MP, f/2.0 (wide)
Video⚠ Sources differ: iQOO marketing claims 4K selfie video; GSMArena lists front video as 1080p@30fps only. Treat 4K front as unverified until tested.

πŸ”Š Sound
LoudspeakerYes β€” mono (official page lists Stereo: No)
3.5mm JackNo
Reality check: single/mono speaker β€” a real step down from stereo rivals for gaming and media.


πŸ”— Connectivity
Wi-FiWi-Fi 5 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), dual-band β€” India unit (Wi-Fi 6/7 is Indonesia-only)
Bluetooth5.2 (India) β€” A2DP, LE
USBUSB Type-C 2.0, OTG
NFC⚠ Sources differ: GSMArena "Yes (region-dependent)"; iQOO India page does not list NFC. Consider unconfirmed for India.
InfraredGSMArena lists Yes; iQOO page silent (GSMArena-only claim)
FM RadioNo

🧭 Sensors

Current street pricing (Jul 2026) is noisy across trackers β€” roughly β‚Ή22,000–₹25,000 for the base, ~β‚Ή28,999 for 12/256, with bank-offer effective prices dipping to ~β‚Ή20,000. Confirm on your retailer before buying.


πŸ“¦ What's in the Box
Not itemised on either spec source β€” the following is iQOO's standard India retail bundle; verify against an unboxing.
  • iQOO Z10 5G handset
  • 90W charger (adapter)
  • USB-A to USB-C cable
  • SIM ejector tool
  • Pre-applied screen protector + protective case
  • Quick start guide & warranty card

🧾 Bottom Line
The iQOO Z10 nails the two things budget buyers actually feel every day β€” a genuinely enormous 7,300 mAh battery with fast 90W charging, and a bright, smooth curved AMOLED. The catch is the compromises hiding behind the marketing: a mono speaker, UFS 2.2 storage, a "dual camera" that's really one sensor plus a 2MP filler with no ultra-wide, and a front camera that likely tops out at 1080p despite the 4K claims. If battery and screen are your priorities, it's an easy recommendation; if you shoot a lot or want the fastest storage, look harder at rivals.
