The iQOO Z10 Lite 5G is gearing up for its India launch on June 18, promising to be a strong contender in the budget smartphone segment. The company has officially confirmed the launch date and has teased some key specifications, generating considerable excitement among potential buyers. This new addition will join the iQOO Z10 series, which already includes the iQOO Z10 and Z10x models that were launched earlier this year.
One of the most highlighted features of the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G is its massive 6,000mAh battery. iQOO is marketing this as the "Segment's Biggest Battery 5G Smartphone" in the sub-Rs 10,000 category. This substantial battery capacity aims to provide users with extended usage, catering to those who heavily rely on their smartphones for streaming, gaming, and everyday tasks. While the battery capacity gets a significant boost compared to its predecessor, the charging speed is expected to remain at 15W, with a charger included in the box.
In terms of design, the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G will sport a dual rear camera setup, arranged vertically within a pill-shaped module on the top-left corner of the rear panel. The phone is expected to come in a blue color option, with the possibility of other color variants being introduced as well. The device also features a speaker grille on the top edge, and the volume rocker and power button are located on the right side.
While the exact processor remains unspecified, iQOO has tagged Snapdragon India in its promotional posts, confirming that the Z10 Lite 5G will be powered by a Snapdragon chipset. Some reports suggest it could be the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip, which is already seen in other budget 5G phones.
The iQOO Z10 Lite 5G is expected to feature a 6.5 to 6.7-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution and possibly a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate. As for the camera, the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G will likely feature a 50-megapixel dual-rear setup along with an 8-megapixel front camera for selfies, similar to the Z9 Lite.
The phone is likely to ship with Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15. It is expected to come with 4GB and 6GB RAM options, and at least 128GB of base storage.
The iQOO Z10 Lite 5G is expected to be priced under Rs 10,000 in India. This aggressive pricing strategy aims to attract young and budget-conscious consumers, making it a competitive offering in the entry-level 5G smartphone market. The device will be available for purchase on Amazon India, in addition to iQOO's official website.
