iQOO Z10 series: What to expect from iQOO’s next mid-range lineup
iQOO is gearing up to launch its Z10 series in India and China. In fact, the company has already confirmed a launch date for standard Z10 in India i.e. April 11.
While India is expected to get just this model for now, the full lineup—including the Z10x, Z10, Z10 Turbo, and Z10 Turbo Pro—could roll out in China soon. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect from each model.
iQOO Z10x
The Z10x will be the most affordable entry in the lineup and will likely feature an LCD panel and a new MediaTek chipset.
It first appeared in certifications last October and later surfaced in BIS listings in January. But for now, details on its specs remain scarce.
Its predecessor featured a 6.72-inch IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution, powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It also packed a 50MP dual-camera system and a 6,000mAh battery with 44W fast charging. The Z10x will likely offer similar specs but could see some minor upgrades.
That said, this model might not launch alongside the rest of the lineup and could instead arrive later in Q3 2024.
iQOO Z10
The Z10 has already been confirmed for India, and teasers from iQOO have already confirmed some key specs. Including a massive 7,300mAh battery. That’s the largest battery on any phone in India right now.
And for comparison, its predecessor, the Z9, had a 5,000mAh battery. Despite the bump in battery size, the phone measures just 7.89mm thick.
Moreover, leaks suggest the Z10 will feature a 6.67-inch quad-curved AMOLED display (FHD+, 120Hz). Under the hood, it could pack either the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 or the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip paired with 8GB/12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage options. The front will have a 32MP camera for selfies, while details on the rear camera setup is still under wraps.
iQOO Z10 Turbo
The Z10 Turbo is expected to launch in China in April with MediaTek’s Dimensity 8400. The display is rumored to be a 6.78-inch LTPS panel with a 1.5K resolution.
Camera-wise, leaks suggest a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor at the back, with a 16MP front-facing camera. Powering the setup will be a 7,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging support.
Interestingly, a recent leak suggests iQOO might also launch the Z10 Turbo in India in April. The device could debut in configurations including 8GB/12GB RAM and 256GB storage. It may come in Gold and Silver color options.
iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro
Sitting at the top of the lineup, the Z10 Turbo Pro will likely share some DNA with the Turbo but push performance further. It’s rumored to feature the same 6.78-inch 1.5K display but swap in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4—a step up from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 used in the Z9 Turbo.
It has surfaced on Geekbench with 12GB RAM and Android 15, while a 3C certification confirms 120W fast charging. Other expected features include a plastic mid-frame and an optical fingerprint scanner, keeping costs in check.
Final Thoughts
IQOO is clearly aiming to offer a mix of affordability, large batteries, and high-performance chips with the Z10 series. The iQOO Z10 and Z10 Turbo seem to be the most interesting options, particularly with their massive battery capacities and OLED displays.
Meanwhile, the Turbo Pro brings near-flagship performance, while the Z10x offers a budget-friendly alternative. Now that we have a confirmed launch date for at least one model, we won’t have to wait long to see how the iQOO Z10 series stacks up.
