IQoo Z10 review in 5 digits: big battery and what else?
Last week, we reviewed the IQO Z10. Chief observation in it? Battery. We found that the phone easily provides multi-day battery life. But what else is? Here is a quick 5 digits review of IQO Z10, which explains its good and bad.
Listen to the story
IQO Z10 made its debut in India last week. This phone first came as a smartphone, which had a large 7300mAh battery. Now, we are expecting some more launch with similar big batteries this month. But now it is safe to say that when it comes to battery life, Iku is the king of the Z10 hill. A bit that we used to like about Z10, the phone packs a big battery despite its thin – like a luxurious slim – 7.8 mm body.
In addition to large batteries, with this phone you get Snapdragon 7S General 3 Chip, Android 15-based Funtch OS, a vivid AMOLED display and 90W fast charging. In short, IQO Z10 promises a lot on paper. But smartphones are more than just glasses. Therefore, we used the IQO Z10 for more than a week to find out if the phone really saves on its promises. our experience? it happens. But Mrs. also has its own proper part in it.

Meanwhile, for all of you, which IQoo Z10 actually provides, a quick bite on it is required – and what it saves with its giant battery – here is our review in 5 major points.
Point 1: Big Battery Life
Let’s start with the biggest strength of IQO Z10 – its 7300mAh battery. In our use, we found that it remains even promoted. Daily use-in which watching videos, scrolling through social media, included topical gaming and phone calls-the phone lasted for 35–40 hours with continuous moderate use. And from medium I mean screen-on time of 7-8 hours. If this time for you is about 12 hours or more, you still hope that the Z10 will easily last for 24-28 hours.
Now, this phone has a large battery and takes time to charge. With support for 90W fast charging (comes in the charger box), it takes about two hours to move from 0 to 100 percent. Not slow in any way, but not immediately.
Point 2: Slim design, despite chunky power pack
With a large battery, we were expecting a chunky phone – but only 7.8 mm thickness and weighing around 199 grams, the Z10 looks impressively smooth and comfortable in the hand.
The build is mostly plastic. The stellar black color variant we reviewed looks decent, although the design looks a little brand. The camera module is large and circular, two lenses – one of which is useless – and one LED flash. On the front, you get a curved AMOLED panel with punch-chopper camera. This is clean on the design part but nothing is different.
Point 3: Vivid, Bright AMOLED display
The IQO Z10 comes with a 6.77-inch AMOLED display that supports a specific shine of 120Hz refresh rate and 1300 knots. The screen is bright and readable even under the straight sunlight.
In the use of the real world, the phone provided a good viewing experience to both inside and outside the house. The performance is crisp and colorful – while it tilts slightly to the cooler tone, it does not go away from the visual appeal.
Point 4: reliable performance, but UI cleaner can be
Performed by Snapdragon 7S General 3 3 chipset, Z10 performs well for day-day functions. Apps open quickly, multitasking is smooth, and light to moderate gaming runs without any bottleneck. Chipset may not be the most powerful in its orbit, but it is efficient and stable.
On the software side, the IQoo Z10 runs on Funtouch OS 15, which is based on Android 15. The interface is colorful and responsible, but it comes with blotware. While you can uninstall most of it, a cleaner UI would have been better.
Point 5: Average camera and weak audio hold it back
If there is an area where the IQO Z10 clearly cuts the corners, it is the camera system. You get a 50-megapixel main rear camera with OIS and 2-megapixel secondary sensor. In our use, the camera managed to capture decent photographs in the daylight with good colors, but was lacking. In low light, images are excessive and lose sharpness. Portrait also suffers from incomplete edge detection.
The 32-megapixel front camera manages to click on good selfie, but again, lacks fine expansion and goes to over-sought the skin texture. There is no ultra-wide lens.
Adding to multimedia despair is single, below firing speaker. It is quite loud, but the sound quality is hard and scary, which takes away from viewing and gaming experience.
IQO Z10 Review: Decision
IQO Z10 for a long time – eg, actually long – provides a vibrant AMOLED display, reliable performance and a slim design, making it a great option for users that give importance to battery life above all.
However, if you care about the quality of the camera or audio output, the Z10 may be reduced. Nevertheless, Rs 19,999.
