iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro: If you’re hunting for a mid-range phone that blends strong performance with gaming-friendly features, the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro is worth a look. Priced close to the REDMI Turbo 4 Pro, it targets the same segment with a similar spec sheet. But does it offer enough to stand out in this crowded category? Let’s break it down feature by feature to see what it delivers.

Design and Build Quality

The Z10 Turbo Pro borrows its appearance from the iQOO 13, with a large rectangular camera module on the back. But at only two lenses, the blocky module seems like overkill. Although plastic frame and back make the phone less premium-feeling and somewhat cheesy in hand, plastic keeps weight down and offers shatter protection. It settles for USB 2.0, however, and only offers an IP65 rating, instead of up to REDMI build quality.

Display Performance

While slightly smaller than its rival, the screen on the Z10 Turbo Pro is decent. It offers enhanced peak brightness in certain regions, offering sufficient visibility outdoors. Although it boasts a 144Hz refresh rate, average usage typically caps at 120Hz. You only get full 144Hz under particular gaming conditions through frame interpolation. It also affects overall look and feel because of its substantial bottom bezel.

Performance and Gaming Features

With Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 driving it, the phone runs heavy games without significant lag, although it gets hot and requires more power. The difference is because iQOO has added gaming features—bypass charging, frame interpolation, and super resolution. They enhance the overall experience, especially for gamers. It’s also power-efficient for normal usage, lasting a full day on regular use.

Camera Features

The Z10 Turbo Pro has the usual dual-camera setup similar to the REDMI Turbo 4 Pro. Initial impressions suggest there is little difference in picture quality, with color calibration being the sole variation. iQOO has a warmer tone, making images appear more vibrant and more pleasing. While camera performance was not extensively used, the setup is capable enough for day-to-day use.

Charging and Battery Life

Instead of appreciating a larger battery like REDMI, iQOO opted to skip it for faster charging. With 120W charging and third-party PPS chargers of up to 100W, the Z10 Turbo Pro charges fast. This compromise is ideal for individuals who prefer short top-ups over maximum battery life.
