iQOO is preparing to unveil the Z10 in India, and leaks ahead of the event have revealed key specifications and pricing. Targeted at value-conscious users, the Z10 brings several premium features into a budget-friendly package, promising both performance and battery endurance.
A Massive 7300mAh Battery With 90W Fast Charging
The most striking feature is the phone’s huge 7300mAh battery, a rare inclusion in this price segment. iQOO has confirmed support for 90W fast charging, claiming a 0 to 50 percent top-up in just 33 minutes. If accurate, this makes the Z10 ideal for users who need long battery life without waiting hours to recharge.
Slim Profile Despite Heavy Power
Despite the large battery, the Z10 maintains a slim form factor. At just 7.89mm thick, it challenges the stereotype of bulky power-centric phones. The Glacier Silver variant is particularly sleek at 7.9mm, appealing to users who want style without compromising functionality.
Bright Quad-Curved Display With 5000-Nit Peak Brightness
The device will feature a quad-curved screen with 5000 nits of peak brightness — a spec typically found in flagship smartphones. This means better visibility even in direct sunlight, making it a strong contender for users who spend a lot of time outdoors.
Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Under the Hood
At its core, the Z10 runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor. iQOO claims it is the fastest phone in its segment, with an AnTuTu score of 8.2 lakh shown in early listings. If this translates to real-world performance, the Z10 may outclass its rivals in speed and efficiency.
Pricing Likely Under Rs 22000 With Launch Discounts
According to Amazon and SmartPrix leaks, the base variant with 128GB storage is expected to be priced at Rs 21999. A Rs 2000 bank offer may bring the effective cost down to Rs 19999, matching the launch price of the Z9. With this aggressive pricing, iQOO is clearly aiming to disrupt the mid-range smartphone market.
