iQOO has expanded its Z10 series in India with the launch of the new iQOO Z10R. Priced just under ₹20,000, the Z10R joins the Z10, Z10 Lite, and Z10x, further strengthening iQOO’s presence in the competitive mid-range smartphone market.
Buyers can grab the phone via Amazon and iqoo.com with attractive bank offers and no-cost EMI options.
Price
The iQOO Z10R comes in three storage and RAM combinations:
| Variant | Price |
|---|---|
| 8GB + 128GB | ₹19,499 |
| 8GB + 256GB | ₹21,499 |
| 12GB + 256GB | ₹23,499 |
Launch offers include an instant ₹2,000 discount on select bank cards, ₹2,000 exchange bonus, and up to 6 months no-cost EMI. It is available in two colors: Aquamarine and Moonstone.
Display
The smartphone features a 6.77-inch FHD+ quad-curved AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and Netflix HDR certification.
With peak brightness of 1,800 nits, it performs well in most lighting conditions, though competitors like Realme Narzo 80 Pro and CMF Phone 2 Pro push brightness up to 4,500 nits.
Performance
At its core, the iQOO Z10R runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, built on a 6nm process. This chip offers 10% better performance and 25% improved efficiency compared to its predecessor.
With LPDDR4X RAM (expandable virtually up to 12GB) and UFS 2.2 storage, users can expect smooth multitasking and reliable gaming performance.
Camera
The iQOO Z10R houses a 50MP OIS-enabled primary sensor with up to 10x digital zoom and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there’s a 32MP selfie camera.
Both cameras support 4K video at 30fps. Missing, however, is an ultra-wide lens, which rivals like Redmi Note 14 and CMF Phone 2 Pro include for extra versatility.
Camera features include Night mode, Portrait, Supermoon, Ultra HD documents, Underwater, and Dual View, giving users creative flexibility.
Battery
Battery performance is one of the Z10R’s highlights, with a 5,700mAh unit supported by 44W fast charging. While it comfortably lasts a full day, competitors like OPPO K13 (7,000mAh) and Narzo 80 Pro (6,000mAh) offer even bigger capacities.
Software
The device ships with Android 15 running Funtouch OS 15. iQOO promises two years of Android updates and three years of security patches, which is standard for this price range but falls short of rivals such as the CMF Phone 2 Pro (3+6 years) and Samsung Galaxy M36 (6+6 years).
Comparison with iQOO Z10
The iQOO Z10R (₹19,499) is positioned slightly below the iQOO Z10 (₹21,999). While the Z10 brings a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, brighter 5,000-nit display, and a larger 7,300mAh battery, the Z10R offers a sleeker quad-curved AMOLED design and stereo speakers, which the Z10 lacks.
The iQOO Z10R emerges as a stylish, feature-packed option under ₹20,000. It blends premium design, a sharp AMOLED display, reliable performance, and solid battery life.
However, if long-term software support or an ultra-wide camera is high on your checklist, alternatives like CMF Phone 2 Pro or Redmi Note 14 might suit you better.
