The next-generation iQOO Z10 Turbo is making headlines as tipster DigitalChatStation has leaked its key specifications and expected launch timeline. While the official name wasn’t explicitly mentioned, the upcoming device is widely believed to be the iQOO Z10 Turbo, following the success of the iQOO Z9 Turbo in China earlier this year.
Leaked Specifications of the iQOO Z10 Turbo
The Weibo post sheds light on several exciting features of the alleged iQOO Z10 Turbo:
- Processor: The phone is expected to debut with the Snapdragon 8s Elite chipset (SM8735), which remains unannounced at this point. This represents a step up from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 used in the iQOO Z9 Turbo.
- Display: The handset may feature a 1.5K flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate and eye protection technology, promising smooth visuals and reduced strain during extended usage.
- Cameras: A dual-camera setup on the rear is tipped, with a 50MP primary sensor leading the charge.
- Battery and Charging: A standout feature is the 7000mAh+ single-cell silicon battery, supported by 80W/90W fast charging, offering exceptional battery life and rapid recharging.
- Launch Timeline: The phone is expected to launch sometime in 2025, with no exact date or month revealed yet.
A Potential Game-Changer in the Mid-Premium Segment
The rumored features of the iQOO Z10 Turbo align with the brand’s philosophy of delivering high-performance devices at competitive price points. The inclusion of a massive 7000mAh battery could make it a leader in the segment, matching similar plans from OnePlus and Redmi for 2025.
Global Availability: A Question Mark
The predecessor, iQOO Z9 Turbo, launched in China in April 2024 alongside the iQOO Z9 and Z9x, but never made its way to India. With the iQOO Z10 Turbo, there’s no confirmation yet on whether the phone will be available outside China. Given the increasing demand for high-performance devices with large batteries, a global launch might be on the cards.
Pricing Expectations
For context, the iQOO Z9 Turbo was priced at CNY 1,999 (approximately ₹23,300). If the iQOO Z10 Turbo follows a similar trajectory, it could position itself as a strong contender in the mid-premium market.
