iQOO is expanding its Z series in India with the new Z10R — a midrange smartphone that borrows just enough from the premium world to turn heads. After being teased, it will be available from July 29 via Amazon.in and iQOO’s own eStore, the Z10R brings a curved AMOLED display, IP68/69 certification, and Android 15 right out of the box. But does it do more than just look good on paper?
Let’s start with what you see first. The Z10R features a 6.77-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel, with gentle curves on all sides — a quad-curved design that gives it a more premium aesthetic. The screen supports HDR10+, peaks at 1800 nits brightness, and refreshes at 120Hz. Protection comes via SCHOTT Xensation α glass, which should hold up better than average.
Performance: A New 4nm Chip
Under the hood is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, built on a 4nm process and paired with a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. RAM options include 8GB or 12GB (with virtual RAM expansion up to 12GB more), and you get 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Thermal management is handled by a sizable graphite cooling system — 13,690mm² to be exact.
Cameras and Extras
The camera setup is fairly standard. There’s a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor and a 2MP depth camera. The front gets a 32MP selfie shooter. Both front and rear cameras support 4K video at 30fps, and iQOO includes “Aura Light” for enhanced low-light shots.
Other notable features? Android 15 (with Funtouch OS 15), stereo speakers, in-display fingerprint sensor, and USB-C audio. You also get dual SIM, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and full 5G support.
Built to Last
The Z10R has IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance — rare at this price — and even meets MIL-STD-810H durability standards. The 5700mAh battery supports 44W fast charging, which should easily get most users through the day, maybe even two.
