iQOO is ready to expand its smartphone portfolio in China with the launch of the new iQOO Z10 Turbo series. The Vivo sub-brand has officially confirmed the launch date and revealed a bunch of exciting details about the iQOO Z10 Turbo and iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro ahead of the event. The focus is clearly on battery life, high performance, and gamer-centric features, and both models bring some heavy-duty specs to the table.
Launch
The iQOO Z10 Turbo and Z10 Turbo Pro will launch in China on April 28 at 7:00pm local time (4:30pm IST). The company has shared official teasers on Weibo, giving us a glimpse of the design and available colour options. The standard Z10 Turbo will come in four finishes—Starry Sky Black, Desert, Burning Orange, and Cloud Sea White.
Design
Both models in the series feature a clean rear design with a dual-camera layout. While iQOO hasn’t revealed the full list of design specs, the teasers show a sleek and premium look. The Pro variant is said to measure 8.09mm in thickness and weigh around 206g, making it reasonably slim despite the large battery inside.
Battery
This is where the iQOO Z10 Turbo series really stands out. The base iQOO Z10 Turbo packs a huge 7,620mAh battery, paired with 90W fast charging support. The Pro model comes with a slightly smaller 7,000mAh battery but makes up for it with 120W fast charging. According to iQOO, this charger can take the phone from 0 to 50 percent in just 15 minutes, and to 100 percent in 33 minutes. These figures promise incredibly fast top-ups for heavy users and gamers.
Performance
The standard Z10 Turbo is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 SoC, a strong mid-range processor designed for efficient multitasking and light gaming. The Z10 Turbo Pro steps up the game with the brand-new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, aimed at delivering near-flagship performance with better thermal management.
Both phones are confirmed to feature iQOO’s self-developed Q1 chip, which is designed to enhance gaming performance. While exact details about the Q1 chip are still limited, it’s likely to handle frame rate stability and visual enhancements for mobile gaming.
Display and Camera
Though not officially confirmed for both models, leaks suggest that the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro will sport a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a buttery smooth 144Hz refresh rate. This makes it ideal for gamers and content consumers who want a fluid visual experience.
In the camera department, the Pro model is expected to house a 50-megapixel main sensor along with an 8-megapixel secondary camera. A 16-megapixel selfie camera is likely to sit up front. The regular Z10 Turbo is also expected to feature a dual-camera setup, although the exact specifications haven’t been revealed yet.
Pricing and Availability
The iQOO Z10 Turbo series is expected to be priced around CNY 2,500 (approximately Rs. 30,000). This positions it as a strong contender in the upper mid-range segment, especially given the features like high-capacity batteries, fast charging, and powerful chipsets.
Pre-reservations for the devices are already live in China through Vivo’s official site, JD.com, Tmall, and other popular e-commerce platforms.
