Performance and Software: Designed for the Essentials

Under the hood, there’s the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. It comes with up to 8GB of physical RAM, which can be further enhanced virtually by another 8GB, for hassle-free multitasking. The phone runs on Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 and is a future-proof, affordable phone with two years of Android updates and three years of security patching.

Verdict: Great Value for Budget Buyers

With its huge battery, silky screen, stable performance, and 5G connectivity, the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G is a great value for under ₹10,000. It might lack high-end design and flagship cameras, but it compensates comfortably with pragmatic features to appeal to mass-market consumers and first-time smartphone buyers.
