The iQOO Z10 Lite is a successor to the Z9 Lite, which launched on July 15, 2024. It brings improvements to the design areas and offers a significant boost in battery life, thanks to the massive 6000 mAh battery.
Design
The iQOO Z10 Lite features an upgraded design and a cleaner look. It features a sleek and classic camera design, complemented by a liquid metallic finish that serves as a trendsetting element. The classic lens elevates the phone’s aesthetics with a timeless and premium look. The phone features two colours, Titanium Blue, which is my favourite, and Cyber Green. The battery capacity has been increased, and the Z10 Lite features a slimmer design. The thickness is only 8.2 mm, compared to the 8.4 mm for the Z9 Lite. The phone also has IP64 water and dust resistance, which would help protect the phone from splashes.
Display
The Z10 Lite also gets a good upgrade in the display department since it now gets a bigger display (6.74-inch compared to its predecessor’s 6.56-inch and a brighter display so that you can watch the phone while you are in the sunlight. It gets an increase from 840 nits to 1000 nits in high brightness mode, it achieves a higher screen-to-body ratio percentage, and a 200% high audio mode so that everyone can listen to the audio with ease. The Phone Features features an HD screen with a 90 Hz refresh rate, which is fine for the 10K price since you can’t get a better display for the price.
Performance
The iQOO Z10 Lite features the Dimensity 6300 chipset, which is great for the segment, and it gets over 430k in the AnTuTu benchmark, which is again a respectable score. The phone features a UFS 2.2 storage type, which is kind of great for a phone selling at just 10k Rs. The phone features LPDDR4X for the RAM. Don’t even consider the 4 GB RAM variant, as 4 GB RAM in 2025 is not sufficient and would make your phone lag when 1-2 apps are running. Choose the 6 GB or 8 GB if you have the budget. Honestly, I hate iQOO for showing a placemark saying, See, our phone is cheaper but has 4 GB RAM.
Camera
The iQOO Z10 Lite features a 50 MP Sony AI camera with a 2 MP depth camera and has support for 1080p video recording on the back camera. The front camera gets a downgrade to a 5MP camera, which supports 720p recording on the selfie camera. I don’t know why iQOO didn’t equip the phone with an 8MP selfie camera, which might give the users who buy it a better choice in the selfie department. The phone also has an ultra-bright flashlight for maximum visibility, and it brings 10x more brightness than the regular torch for the smartphone.
Battery
The Z10 Lite features a massive 6000 mAh battery, and Vivo claims that the battery can last 5 years straight with 1500 charge cycles. The phone can retain 80% of its battery’s capacity. The charging is a disappointment since 15W is just not good if you love fast-charging stuff, and the phone can easily take 3 hours or less to charge the 6000 mAh battery.
Software
iQOO Z10 Lite comes with FunTouch OS 15, which is based on Android 15, it supports two major Android updates and comes with three years of security patches, which is quite impressive for a phone under 10k, and the phone has AI features like AI Erase and AI Photo Enhancer, which can help you regain the details of the photos.
Pricing
iQOO Z10 Lite starts at INR 9999 for the 4/128GB variant, INR 10,999 for the 6/128 variant, and INR 12,999 for the 8/256 variant. The phone comes with an INR 500 instant discount on ICICI, HDFC, and Axis credit cards and debit cards, so the prices come down to 9499, 10500, and 12500, respectively, and the sale for the smartphone starts on 25th June at noon.
