iQOO has expanded its Z10 series with the launch of the iQOO Z10R. The new device targets users who want strong performance, premium design, and creator-friendly camera features without spending flagship money. From its curved AMOLED display to the unusual 4K selfie video support, the Z10R stands out as an interesting mid-range option.
iQOO Z10R Overview
Display and Design
The iQOO Z10R features a 6.77-inch FHD+ quad-curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. The panel also supports HDR10+ and Netflix HDR, making it great for streaming and entertainment.
The screen reaches a peak brightness of 1800 nits, ensuring good visibility even under bright sunlight. A punch-hole cutout houses the selfie camera, while an under-display fingerprint scanner handles biometric security.
For durability, iQOO protects the display with Schott Xensation Alpha glass, which helps resist scratches and minor drops.
Performance
Powering the Z10R is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, designed to deliver balanced performance for everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking.
The phone comes with:
- 8GB or 12GB LPDDR4X RAM
- 128GB or 256GB UFS 2.2 storage
However, iQOO does not include a microSD card slot for storage expansion.
On the software side, the phone runs Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15 out of the box. iQOO promises two years of Android updates and three years of security patches, which is respectable for this segment.
4K Selfie Video – A Rare Feature
One of the most interesting features of the iQOO Z10R is its 32MP front camera. Unlike most phones in this price range, the selfie camera supports 4K video recording at 30fps, making it a great option for vloggers and content creators.
On the back, the phone features a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor, paired with a 2MP depth sensor. The camera system supports several useful features, including:
- Underwater photography
- Multi-focal portrait modes
- Aura Light for improved low-light portraits
These features help the Z10R deliver versatile photography capabilities for social media creators.
Battery and Charging
The iQOO Z10R packs a large 5700mAh battery, which should comfortably last a full day of heavy usage.
The device supports 44W wired fast charging, and iQOO claims it can charge up to 50% in around 33 minutes.
Another useful feature is bypass charging, which powers the phone directly while gaming. This reduces battery heat and helps maintain long-term battery health.
Durability and Extra Features
Durability is another highlight of the Z10R. The phone includes IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering strong protection against dust and water.
Additionally, the device carries MIL-STD-810H certification, meaning it has passed multiple durability tests.
Other features include:
- Dual stereo speakers
- Under-display fingerprint scanner
- Premium curved design
However, like many modern smartphones, the device does not include a headphone jack.
