The iQOO Z9 was launched in March last year in the Indian market with a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset and a 120Hz AMOLED display. Later in May, we got the iQOO Z10x with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset. Today, the company launched two new smartphones in India, the iQOO Z10 and the iQOO Z10x. The phones feature some big upgrades over their predecessors.
iQOO Z10x
Starting with the iQOO Z10x, the phone has a similar design language as the Z9x, except for the camera module on the rear, which is bigger as it has a ring light. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a stereo speaker setup. The phone is IP64-certified.
In terms of the specifications, the iQOO Z10x has the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset under the hood with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. There is a massive 6,500mAh battery with 44W fast wired charging.
The camera setup on the rear includes a primary 50MP sensor with an f/1.8 lens and a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie shooter has an 8MP sensor. The display is a 6.72-inch LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1050 nits brightness, and a Full-HD+ resolution.
Finally, the iQOO Z10x runs on Android 15-based FuntouchOS 15 out of the box.
It comes in two colors – Ultramarine, and Titanium. Here is the pricing for India –

There is a quad-curved display on the front, and the phone has a circular camera module on the rear with a dual camera setup. The phone is 7.89mm thick and weighs 199g.
