iQOO has officially announced the launch date for its upcoming smartphone, the iQOO Z10, in India. The Vivo sub-brand took to social media to confirm that the new Z series device will be unveiled on April 11. Alongside the launch date, the company has also revealed a key specification of the phone—the battery capacity. The iQOO Z10 is set to be the successor to last year’s iQOO Z9 5G, which was launched in March 2024 and featured a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 5G chipset, a 50-megapixel dual rear camera setup, and a 5,000mAh battery.
One of the most striking features of the iQOO Z10 is its massive 7,300mAh battery. iQOO has claimed that this will be the largest battery ever seen on a smartphone in India. This significant upgrade could translate to extended usage times and enhanced performance for users who rely on their devices for gaming, streaming, and multitasking. The launch announcement was made through iQOO’s official X handle, as well as by the company’s India CEO, Nipun Marya, further building anticipation for the new release.
In addition to the battery revelation, the official teaser images have given a glimpse of the phone’s design. The iQOO Z10 appears in a sleek white finish, featuring a circular camera module housing dual sensors with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) support. The device is also expected to make its way to China next month, possibly alongside the iQOO Z10 Turbo variant. As per leaks, the base model of the iQOO Z10 might be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC and sport an OLED display with a 1.5K resolution. It is also likely to run on Android 15-based OriginOS 5.
For reference, the iQOO Z9 5G, which debuted last year, was priced at Rs. 19,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. It featured a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a dual-camera setup with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 primary sensor, and a 16-megapixel selfie shooter. It housed a 5,000mAh battery with 44W fast charging support. With these specifications in mind, the upcoming iQOO Z10 is expected to bring significant improvements in performance and battery life, making it a highly anticipated release in the Indian smartphone market.
