The brand-new Vivo iQOO Z10R promises an interesting price-performance ratio, featuring a waterproof casing, a 5,700 mAh battery and a 120 Hz AMOLED display with 1,080p+ resolution for the equivalent of $203.

The iQOO Z10R is Vivo's latest mid-range smartphone offering that comes in a modern look thanks to a subtly rounded display and a relatively thin body with a thickness of 7.4 millimeters. The body is both IP68 and IP69 certified and thus water-resistant. Despite its particularly thin body, Vivo has managed to fit in a large 5,700 mAh battery.

This can be charged via USB-C with up to 44 watts. The iQOO Z10R features a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2,392 × 1,080, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and an HDR peak brightness of 1,800 nits. The optical fingerprint sensor is invisibly integrated into the display. The 32-MP f/2.45 selfie camera with support for 4K video recording is located in a central punch-hole. The pill-shaped camera module on the back houses a 50 MP f/1.79 main camera with a 1/1.95 inch sensor and a 2 MP sensor.
 


The ring-shaped LED flash, which Vivo calls "Aura Light", is designed to provide more even light, especially in close-ups. The iQOO Z10R is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400, which features four ARM Cortex-A78 performance cores with boost clock speeds up to 2.6 GHz and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 2.0 GHz. The mid-range smartphone ships with Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, and Vivo guarantees two major Android updates and three years of security patches.

Price and availability

The Vivo iQOO Z10R will initially launch in India, where the base model with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage will be offered for INR 17,499 (approximately $203), while the top-of-the-line model with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage will cost INR 21,499 (approximately $249). Vivo is yet to confirm whether or when the iQOO Z10R will launch globally.
