Recently, the smartphones in the iQOO Z10 series, which are the iQOO Z10 along with the iQOO Z10x, officially launched in India, giving the mid-range smartphone sector a fresh breath. What these new phones are after is delivering industry-leading features such as a great battery, a smooth display, solid performance, and camera quality sans paying top dollar.
Of course, the standout here is its massive 7,300mAh battery on the iQOO Z10 pulling away in terms of battery size in a category. iQOO is clearly banking on delivering as much as possible at a lower price, with both of its models offering satisfactory specs.
In this article, we will discuss the iQOO Z10 series smartphones, their specifications, their features, their price, and many more things about them.
Display and Design: Bright, Smooth, and Stylish
You will get a 6.77-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with 1080×2392 pixel resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Aside from a top-notch peak brightness of 5000 nits, there are no complaints regarding its performance.
You will also get an AMOLED screen, which has deep blacks and bright colors. You will get a very immersive watching experience. Jays have a slim 7.93mm design and are about 199 grams — thin and light.
Of course, the iQOO Z10x is not the industry’s latest in terms of screen, as it uses a slightly bigger 6.78-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 1080×2408 pixels. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 2000 nits, and also comes with it.
While not as bright as the Z10, it has a sharp, colorful visual experience. At 204 grams, it is heavier, but not by much, and still very comfortable to use; it is slightly thicker at 8.0mm.
Performance and Software
Being on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, the iQOO Z10 provides smooth gaming and multitasking with zero lag. You will get 12GB RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Being these specs, the Z10 is the type of phone that can be used for heavy apps or for high-performance gaming.
Then, the iQOO Z10x is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, a comparatively power-efficient chipset, along with good all-around performance. It packs a maximum of 256GB storage and 8GB RAM, with an added 6GB expanded real RAM when in use.
In both phones, you will get a Funtouch OS 15 with a clean, minimal design of the most modern Android 15, with customizability, smart features, and timely updates.
Camera System: Ready for Every Shot
You will get the dual back camera setup in iQOO Z10. The 50MP main sensor also comes with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to ensure photos and videos are stills and a 2MP depth sensor to capture portrait shots. In front, an 8MP camera for selfies and video calls is placed.
As for the camera department, the iQOO Z10x comes with a similar dual shooter setup of a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP bokeh lens. You get a 8MP front-facing camera. The camera system is not the most advanced on the market, but it does get the job done for everyday use, social media, and casual video recording.
Battery and Charging: The iQOO Z10 Advantage
Users will get a 7,300mAh battery in the iQOO Z10 device. A mid-range phone with a battery of such a high capacity is simply very rare. By providing 90W of fast charging, they will be able to charge up quickly enough and continue for longer with fewer power bank or charger needs.
It also comes with a large 6,500mAh battery, which is more than enough for day-to-day chores, gaming, and media usage. The 44W fast charging is still respectable and can deliver a full charge in under an hour.
Extra Features and Build Quality
In addition to these, both phones also sport other features that enhance the performance of the phone.
With an in-display fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers for a great sound experience, an infrared (IR) blaster for a more user-friendly way of operating the indigenous remote. You also get an IP65 rating for water and dust proofing, iQOO Z10 comes with all of that.
The iQOO Z10x has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, twin speakers, and an IP64 rating that’s enough to handle splashes to some extent.
