Hello Questers,

Today, the mid-range smartphone space is crowded. Every brand seems to be throwing in fancy 5000 mAH batteries, fancy cameras, and flat designs. But the one thing that really makes or breaks a phone for me is performance and battery capacity and this is where the iQOO Z10 5G genuinely surprised me.

Speed Where It Matters

The Z10 runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip — which, on paper, might not sound super flashy. But in real-world use? It's a beast.

I've been using this phone for a few weeks now, and whether it's multitasking between heavy apps, editing photos, or just doom-scrolling through social media, the phone handles everything without breaking a sweat.

First I ran ANTUTU Benchmark - The official score which company has tested was around - 822705 within lab conditions - but in actual user case scenerio it touched mark - 820792

Every Device mainly consumes 4-5% battery in running Benchmark - but haven't seen any device which has consumed 0% battery

Battery That Actually Lasts

A 7,300mAh battery. Yes, really. This phone easily lasts me a more than 2 days while on my casual usage and 7-8 days without any usage.

Casual Usage includes bit of gaming, voice calls, YouTube, and Spotify running in the background. And the 90W fast charging? I got from 0 to 50% in just over half an hour. That's exactly what you want when you're heading out and your phone is gasping for power.

I even pushed it a bit with BGMI and I was genuinely impressed. The frame rates stayed smooth - Extreme (60FPS), there were no heating issues, and I didn't once feel the need to close background apps to "make it faster." It just works well.

I also ran the phone through the Wild Life Extreme Stress Test by 3DMark, and the results really tell the story:

• Best Loop Score: 1061
• Lowest Loop Score: 1058
• Stability:99.7%

In simple terms: the phone maintained nearly identical performance over 20 back-to-back benchmark loops — with no signs of overheating or throttling. That level of consistency is rare, especially in this price range.

What it means for normal user

• Gaming stays smooth even in extended sessions.
• No noticeable dips in performance during multitasking.
• The phone stays cool — both figuratively and literally.

Whether you're deep into a battle royale landing in Hotdrops or editing a reel, the Z10 doesn't miss a beat.

Final Thoughts: More Than Just Another Mid-Ranger

The iQOO Z10 5G isn't trying to be everything — but what it does, it does incredibly well. With rock-solid performance, thermal efficiency, long battery life, and a display that matches its power, this phone confidently earns its spot among the top mid-range performers.

If you want a phone that feels fast every time you unlock it, this is it.

Rating: 4/5 — Reliable, smooth, and genuinely fun to use.
