Design and display
iQOO Z10 has made a big change in terms of design. While the iQOO Z9 had a boxy and flat look, the Z10 has been introduced with slight curves, making it easier to hold. The biggest visual change is its new circular camera module, which gives the phone a premium look.
Talking about the display, the Z10 has a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED display, which comes with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. Its peak brightness is 5,000 nits, which is several times more than the 1,800 nits of the Z9. This means that the screen will look quite clear and sharp even in sunlight.
Performance
The iQOO Z10 gets the powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, which is much better than the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 that was present in the earlier Z9. This is the same chip that is also being used in some expensive smartphones like the Nothing Phone 3a series.
Talking about the software, the Z10 runs on Android 15 based Funtouch OS 15. It has AI features like AI Eraser, AI Super Document, AI Circle to Search and AI Note Assist. Also, the company is promising to provide OS updates for 2 years and security updates for 3 years.
Camera
Talking about the camera, both the smartphones get a 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. But there has been a big upgrade in the front camera. While the iQOO Z9 had a 16MP selfie camera, in the Z10 you get a 32MP front camera, which makes the selfie and video calling quality even better.
Price
The price of iQOO Z9 is ₹17,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant and ₹19,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant. The new iQOO Z10 has been launched in three variants. 8GB + 128GB – ₹19,999, 8GB + 256GB – ₹21,999 and 12GB + 256GB – ₹23,999. This phone comes in two colors – Stellar Black and Glacier Silver.
