iQOO Z10 : With all the solid mid-range options available today, new launches have to bring something to the table. And that’s precisely what iQOO Z10 intends to accomplish.
With its blunt-force security, fluid display, and power-drill battery life, it’s a gadget that does not beg for attention — but demands your respect.
If you happen to be a person who thrives off the combination of speed, performance, value and function (in a not-jolly-green-giant package), then the Z10 could very well be your next daily driver.
It’s got that bad-boy-gamer attitude, that classic iQOO DNA—performance-first, no bullshit, all utility, with a sporty edge.
Design: It’s about being elegant yet minimalistic
The iQOO Z10 doesn’t really try to be a shiny showstopper at first glance. But hold it in your hand, and you see its polished finish.
Its back panel is subtly matte, which should deflect smudges and help to create a high-quality impression. The flat-edge design feels modern, and the frame is robust without looking heavy.
It’s easy to carry around all day and comfortable for one-handed operation. Continue reading the main story In a market where too many phones overreach with their design experiments, the Z10 stays clean, smart and purposeful.
Display: Smooth as Butter
You’re treated to a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display (120Hz refresh rate) that’s as good to gamers as it is to binge-watchers.
Colors pop, blacks are inky, and scrolling and video playback both wreak of silkenness.
Whether you’re consuming reels, gaming or reading, the display makes it all look crisp and vivid. The brightness levels are good as well — you won’t have a hard time seeing the display when you’re outdoors, even under bright direct sunlight.
Performance: A Real Workhorse
This is where the iQOO Z10 comes into its own. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
This combo has made multitasking a breeze –apps open quickly, heavy games like BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile run without any issues, and you get no lags during long usage.
Funtouch OS by iQOO (based on Android 14) is much smoother than we expected. Yes, there are a couple of preloaded apps, but most of them can be uninstalled. The UI is sleek, fast and very optimized for performance.
Camera: Good (But Not Great) And check out those camera samples.
The iQOO Z10 gets a 50MP main camera on the back, along with a 2MP depth sensor. In good light, photos are detailed, have nice color and are reasonably sharp.
The AI is at work sometimes helping push contrast but not overly so. Edge detection is pretty good in portrait mode as well.
Low-light shots are a bit hit or miss, though Night Mode can help, with it not being the detail levels you’ll get on a flagship.
The 16MP front facing camera handles itself admirably for social media snaps, offering natural skin tone and adequete detail.
Battery and Charging: Fast and Long Lasting
Powering the Z10 is a 5,000mAh battery, more than sufficient for a day of heavy use.
No matter what you’re doing, gaming, streaming, multitasking, it won’t let you down.
And the cherry on top? 66W fast charging. You’re able to charge from zero to approximately 80% in around 30 minutes. A real life saver on crazy mornings or running-out-the-door mornings.”
Pros
Smooth 120Hz AMOLED display
Excellent Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 performance
66W quick charge with long-lasting battery

Cons

Funtouch OS is no stranger to bloatware either
iQOO Z10: Final Verdict
The iQOO Z10 isn’t a record-smashing phone — it’s about providing a solid punch of value with a focus on speed, screen quality, and battery endurance.
It’s a well-rounded device, offers all the basics, and a few premium flourishes, without really inflating the price.
If you’re after a phone that can race along at your pace without breaking the bank, the Z10 ticks most of the right boxes.
It’s fast, fun and refreshingly focused—it’s exactly what a mid-range champ should be.
