From 9AM lectures to midnight scrolls, iQOO Z10 keeps up with the fast-paced life of students

If college life had a playlist, it would be a chaotic but exciting mash-up of 9 AM lectures, post-class chai breaks, back-to-back society meetings, all-nighters before submissions, and late-night binge-watching sessions. For students handling academics, side hustles, and social lives, a smartphone isn’t just a device—it’s an anchor, a tool, and a companion rolled into one. The iQOO Z10 5G enters the scene not just as a phone, but as the all-in-one powerhouse that student life demands. Built for campus chaos, this device never taps out—no matter how intense the schedule or how spontaneous the plan.
India’s biggest battery ever
One of the biggest challenges students face with smartphones is battery anxiety. When the day starts early and ends way past midnight, finding a charging point between classes or club meetings can feel like a full-time job. The iQOO Z10 addresses this head-on with its groundbreaking 7300mAh ultra-capacity battery—the largest in its segment—ensuring uninterrupted performance throughout the day.
“Tech-savvy consumers who prioritise performance trust iQOO to deliver industry-leading innovation, and the iQOO Z10 is a testament to that commitment. Featuring India’s biggest 7,300mAh battery, the iQOO Z10 pushes the boundaries of smartphone engineering. What truly sets it apart, however, is its remarkably slim 0.789 cm body, offering an uncompromised user experience in every aspect. Designed for today’s youth who don’t just multitask but Megatask—the iQOO Z10 and iQOO Z10x are the fastest smartphones in their segment, designed to keep up with their relentless pace,” says Nipun Marya, CEO of iQOO.
What sets this battery apart is its advanced third-generation Silicon-Carbon Anode Technology, which increases energy density by 15.7% compared to traditional graphite batteries. This innovation allows for a larger battery capacity without compromising the device's slim 7.89mm profile .
The iQOO Z10 supports 90W FlashCharge offering extended usage times—2 days of usage on a single charge.

Massive battery meets super slim design
What makes this even more impressive is the Z10’s slim design. While most phones with large batteries end up feeling like a brick, this one keeps it sleek and lightweight at just 7.89mm thickness and 199g in weight (Glacier Silver variant). Whether you’re sliding it into the back pocket of your denims, tossing it into your crossbody bag, or setting it up on a tiny tripod for your next vlog, it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. The design is complemented by a stunning 17.19cm (6.77-inch) flagship-level quad-curved AMOLED design that brings your favourite shows, games, and even online lectures to life with crisp visuals. With a resolution of 2392x1080, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a local peak brightness of 5000 nits, even harsh sunlight during outdoor shoots or mid-campus scrolling doesn’t affect your experience. Gamers will particularly love the 300Hz touch sampling rate, which ensures every tap and swipe registers instantly—ideal for high-stakes matches.
Fastest smartphone in the segment: No more lag, no more stress
Megatasking isn’t a choice in student life—it’s a daily default. One minute you’re on a video call with your group project team, the next you’re editing a reel for your side hustle, all while replying to texts and flipping through research tabs. Powered by the Snapdragon® 7s Gen 3 processor, with up to 12GB of RAM and an additional 12GB of Extended RAM, the iQOO Z10 makes sure none of this feels like a juggle. The experience is smooth, lag-free, and consistent, even when you’re pushing it hard. 4nm TSMC flagship process and antutu score of 820K+ help in switching between heavy apps, uploading assignments to Google Drive, or handling last-minute fest prep all feels responsive and efficient. Running on Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, it comes with 2 years of Android updates and 3 years of security updates, keeping the device reliable and relevant for the long haul.
Content creator mode: ON
For content creators and social media enthusiasts, the Z10’s camera setup feels like a creative studio in your pocket. The 50 MP Sony IMX882 AI Camera with Optical Image Stabilisation ensures that every vlog, tutorial, or dance reel is stable and sharp, even if you’re filming with slightly shaky hands. Now, capturing memories from a college trip, shooting behind-the-scenes footage during the fest season, or filming a how-to video for your channel, the results hold up. Even in low-light dorm rooms or on night-outs, the f/1.8 aperture ensures your footage remains bright and clear. Meanwhile, the 32MP selfie wide-angle camera takes care of your vlogs, interviews, or even those resume-worthy portraits. Plus, AI-enhanced image processing ensures better clarity, vibrant colours, and optimised results—whether you're shooting in motion or low light. Creative modes like Slo-mo, Time-lapse, Ultra HD Document, and Supermoon let you experiment freely without needing a DSLR. And even after hours of shooting, editing, and uploading, that massive battery still isn’t complaining.

Everyday ready
But college life isn’t always predictable. There are random rains, dust-laden field events, or sudden weekend treks. With an IP65 rating and military-grade certification, the iQOO Z10 is tough and built to last under rough handling or harsh environments. It's resistant to both dust and splashes, making it a dependable partner through the unpredictability of campus adventures. Audio connectivity is still seamless thanks to USB Type-C support and Bluetooth 5.2—ready for your wireless earphones or wired headsets alike.
Little things also make a big difference. The in-display fingerprint sensor offers quick, secure access—no fumbling around during a class switch or while walking across campus. Dual SIM support makes it easy to manage personal and academic connections, while the IR remote control comes in handy when you want to surprise your friends by switching the hostel TV from across the room. There’s also OTG support for quick file transfers during submission crunch time. The phone comes bundled with essentials—protective film, case, charger, and eject tool—so you’re ready to go straight out of the box.
AI that makes life easier
The iQOO Z10 series brings smart, AI-powered tools designed to simplify everyday moments. Whether cleaning up a group photo with AI Erase or sharpening memories with AI Photo Enhance, the phone does the heavy lifting behind the scenes. For students juggling assignments, AI Note Assist, Live Text, and Super Document streamline everything from summarising notes to extracting and correcting text on the fly. With Circle to Search with Google, a simple gesture is all it takes to get instant answers—no switching apps, no lost context. It's tech that quietly adds ease, speed, and a bit of magic to the everyday.
Up for grabs!
The iQOO Z10 is available for sale in two stunning colours, Glacier Silver and Stellar Black, on Amazon and the iQOO India E-Store. To meet all your storage needs, it comes in three variants - 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM, 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM, and 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM variants starting at Rs 19,999, Rs 21,999, and Rs 23,999 respectively.
