In April, the iQOO Z10 & Z10x were officially launched in the Indian market. The iQOO Z10x is a budget 5G phone with a Dimensity 7300 chipset and a 6,500mAh battery, while the iQOO Z10 is a mid-range device with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and a 7,300mAh battery. The brand has now officially launched the iQOO Z10R, which sits between these two phones.
Design-wise, the iQOO Z10R looks quite different than the other two phones in this series. It has a camera module design similar to Vivo smartphones. There are two rear cameras and a ring LED flash. At 7.39mm, the phone is quite slim, and the brand claims it to be the slimmest quad-curved display phone in India under ₹20,000. The weight is 183.5g. The phone is IP68 and IP69-certified. There are stereo speakers.
Under the hood, the iQOO Z10R has the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, a slightly more powerful version of the Dimensity 7300. There is 8GB or 12GB of RAM with 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. The phone has a large 5,700mAh battery with 44W wired charging support.
The display on the front is a 6.77-inch Full-HD+ 120Hz quad-curved AMOLED with HDR10+, 1800 nits local peak brightness, 2160Hz PWM dimming, and a 10-bit color depth. There is an optical under-display fingerprint scanner.
The camera setup on the rear includes a primary 1/1.953″ 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS, and a secondary 2MP sensor. The selfie camera has a 32MP sensor with support for 4K 30fps video recording.
Finally, the iQOO Z10R runs on Android 15-based FuntouchOS 15 out of the box.
There are two color options – Aquamarine & Moonstone. Here is the pricing for the Indian market –
- 8GB + 128GB – ₹19,499
- 8GB + 256GB – ₹21,499
- 12GB + 256GB – ₹23,499
Should you buy it at this price? Well, we will not suggest this phone at around ₹20,000 when the iQOO Z10 is available for around ₹22,000. The iQOO Z10 offers better performance, a much larger 7,300mAh battery, faster charging, and a better display.
