Design & Build Quality
The iQOO Z10 Lite keeps things simple and smart. Available in Titanium Blue and Cyber Green, it has a patten on its plastic back that subtly plays with light — a nice touch in this buget segment.
It’s not the lightest (202g) and slimmest (8.19mm), the weight distribution feels balanced, making it comfortable to hold for long periods.
But what really Make it Impresive?
The IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance, combined with MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability and SGS five-star anti-fall certification. That means this phone is built to take life’s little accidents without complaint.

🔹 Display
It have 6.74-inch LCD display which provides you plenty of screen space for videos, browsing, and social feeds. But its HD+ resolution (720x1600) means visuals aren’t the sharpest (260 ppi), the 90Hz refresh rate helps with smoother scrolling.
Outsider uses? No problem. The display reaches a solid 1000 nits peak brightness, making it one of the brightest in its price range. Plus, it’s TUV Rheinland certified for low blue light, s it less effect your eye than other phone in this segment.
🚀 Performance
Iqoo uses the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 bsed on (6nm), the Z10 Lite is built for smooth day-to-day uses: like - social media, browsing, messaging, and light multitasking are handled without fuss.
For gaming, it’s decent( BUT quiet good in this segment) for casual titles and mid-level graphics games like BGMI or Call of Duty Mobile. There’s even an Ultra Game Mode and Dynamic Volume Booster to make your Gamming more fun.
It Provides 4GB to 8GB RAM (plus virtual RAM support) and storage up to 256GB, expandable via microSD — great for media hoarders! and students.
📸 Cameras
50MP Sony Main Camera: Daylight photos come out vibrant and detailed. Autofocus is decent.
2MP Bokeh Camera: Helps with portraits, but not to much useful.
Camera modes include Night, Portrait, Pro, 50MP, Slo-mo, and more. AI tools like AI Erase and AI Photo Enhance are handy extras. Which is quiet good in this segment.
Low-light shots - Like most budget phones, results are average — usable, but don’t expect flagship-level night photos. In night photography it shows video noices.
5MP Front Camera: Decent for selfies and video calls, but soft detail and facial smoothing might not please everyone. Not recommended for Camera lovers.
🔋 Battery Life
Its battery life is your top priority, the Z10 Lite is a hero. Its 6000mAh battery easily powers through 1.5 to 2 days of moderate use.
iQOO claims:
🎵 Up to 70 hours of music playback
📞 Up to 37 hours of call time
Even better, the battery is designed to last: it retains 80% capacity after 1600 charge cycles — roughly 5 years of use.
Charging? It’s 15W fast charging, so not the fastest (expect a few hours to full charge), but safe for overnight Charging.
🌟 Overall
If you want a phone that lasts long on a single charge, can handle daily tasks without drama, and won’t freak out if it gets wet or drops by mistake — the iQOO Z10 Lite is a decent pick.
👉 But if you care about sharp displays, fast charging, or amazing cameras, this phone might leave you disappointed.
👉 In simple terms: Good for battery and durability, average at everything else.

🔹 Display is just HD+ – The screen isn’t as sharp as many other phones at this price. You will notice it if you watch a lot of videos or read small text.
🔹 15W charging is slow – Big battery is great, but charging it feels like it takes forever compared to phones with 33W or faster charging.
