iQoo touts the new Z10 as a markedly slim device despite its status as "India's biggest battery smartphone". It has launched alongside a surprise sub-flagship variant with a large capacity of its own and specs to beat the CMF Phone 1. Their open sales start later in April 2025.

iQoo has officially launched the Z10 with a 6.77-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display with a peak brightness of no less than 5,000 nits - therefore, it is just as well it also now has the largest battery on the Indian market at 7,300mAh  - even bigger than that of China's Realme Neo 7.

The Android smartphone has the same specs as the Vivo Y300 Pro+ for the same market, with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, fast 90W charging and 50+2MP cameras for its Oppo Find X8 Ultra-esque camera hump.

iQoo has announced that the Z10 will start at just INR 19,999 (~$232) on its release via Amazon on April 16, 2025, with the Z10x to follow on April 22.

The Z series' second new smartphone is a re-brand of the Vivo T4x 5G for the Chinese market, which means many Indian iQoo fans might find its relatively huge 6,500mAh battery and Dimensity 7300 SoC welcome.

It has new Ultramarine and Titanium colorways, while the Z10 comes in Glacier Silver or Stellar Black. Both smartphones will ship with Funtouch OS based on Android 15, and are projected to get 2 major software upgrades apiece.

Its 6.72-inch display is also 120Hz and FHD+, although it is LCD without an always-on display. However, it already has a starting price estimated at INR 12,499 (~$145), which might enable it to undercut the CMF Phone 1 that is currently available for INR 13,990 (~$163) on its release.
