Design and Display: Curved vs Flat Panel

Following a tip from Digital Chat Station, the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ would feature an upscale-looking quad-curved display. Not just would the phone be more attractive to look at, but it would also be more comfortable to hold. The iQOO Z10, though, will have a flat display, maybe trending towards a more vintage and rugged design. Both phones are likely to carry 1.5K resolution OLED displays, with high-definition images and rich color reproduction for multimedia and games.

Performance: Snapdragon in Both Camps

The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ should be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s SoC, while the iQOO Z10 should be powered by the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip. Both being good and power-efficient mid-range processors, the Gen 4 chip might deliver better performance and power optimization. The Indian variant of the iQOO Z10 already comes with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip integrated, so the Chinese version with Gen 4 could offer a major performance boost.

Battery and Charging: Bigger Numbers, Bigger Benefits

One of the features of the top contenders is a massive battery capacity. The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ is said to carry a 7,000mAh battery, which is respectable by any standard. But iQOO may push it a step further with an even larger 8,000mAh battery on the Z10, which could be a potential battery king in this segment. If paired with fast charging (like its global variant’s 90W charging), this could be a hot seller.

Cameras: Dual Configurations with Big Megapixel Numbers

Both devices should feature dual rear cameras with a 50MP primary sensor. Interestingly, the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ should also carry a 50MP telephoto lens to enhance zooming capabilities and portraits. The iQOO Z10, however, could stick with just a 50MP primary shooter, which should focus on plain vanilla image quality over versatility.

iQOO Z10 Indian Variant: A Different Story

The iQOO Z10 was already released in India last April 2025, with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, up to 12GB RAM, and 256GB storage. It has a 6.77-inch AMOLED display, a 7,300mAh battery, and dual cameras. But the Chinese version is expected to be greatly different when it comes to the chipset and design.

Final Verdict: Wait for the Launch

Although both the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ and iQOO Z10 seem good on paper, we still await the company’s word. With large batteries, Snapdragon chips, and responsive screens, they’re strong contenders in the sub-₹25,000 segment. For now, we suggest waiting for the final specs before committing, especially if you’re fussy about battery life, camera options, or performance sheen.
