The iQOO Z10 Series is Coming Soon: Huge Batteries, Multiple Models, and Pressure-Sensitive Buttons Highlight the Lineup

Last week, the iQOO Z9 Turbo long-life version officially went on sale starting at 1899. News of iQOO's upcoming products has been steadily emerging. Previously, digital blogger @Digital Chat Station revealed that the iQOO Z10 series is the real highlight, featuring high-performance processors from both MediaTek Dimensity and Snapdragon platforms, with a battery capacity "previously mentioned as starting with 7," positioning it as a dual-chip performance phone. This implies significant upgrades across the board for the iQOO Z10 series, with battery capacity potentially exceeding 7000mAh. Performance improvements are also expected.

Recently, the same blogger shared more details about the iQOO Z10 series: "The iQOO Z10 series is under development, and this generation seems to have four base models planned: Z10x, Z10, Z10 Turbo, and Z10 Turbo Pro. The core concept is a super-large battery. Currently, the Pro model is confirmed to have a dedicated display chip + SM8735, and the AnTuTu benchmark score seems to reach 200,000+." This confirms iQOO's plans to launch multiple Z10 series models, all equipped with ultra-large capacity batteries. Other leaks suggest a plastic mid-frame, dual-camera setup across the entire lineup, and a minimalist design. This differs from the predecessor, the iQOO Z9 series, which featured a metal "porthole" design and a straight-edged mid-frame, resulting in a more conventional look.

While the specifications for the iQOO Z10 series haven't been officially announced, we can reference the iQOO Z9 series for clues. The iQOO Z9 boasts a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform, a 6.78-inch 144Hz anti-flicker eye-protection screen, a 6000mAh ultra-thin "Blue Sea" battery with 80W fast charging, and a 6K Sky Curtain VC liquid cooling system. Its main camera is a Sony IMX600. It starts at 1499. The iQOO Z9x uses a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 mobile platform, a 6.72-inch LCD high-brightness screen, a 6000mAh ultra-thin large battery with 44W fast charging, and a 50-megapixel ultra-clear AI anti-shake main camera with a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Its starting price is 1149. The iQOO Z9 Turbo features a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform, a 6.78-inch 1.5K 144Hz flexible straight screen, a 6000mAh ultra-thin "Blue Sea" battery with 80W fast charging, and the same IMX600 main camera paired with an 8-megapixel ultrawide angle lens. It starts at 1999.

Another leak mentions, "A mysterious new iQOO phone is testing pressure-sensitive buttons similar to those on Apple devices. Perhaps for shoulder buttons? The prototype includes a custom large-size motor + ultra-narrow straight screen." This suggests iQOO might incorporate pressure-sensitive buttons similar to the iPhone's, likely used as gaming shoulder buttons. Combined with a large motor and an ultra-narrow straight screen, this phone promises an exceptional gaming experience. Apple introduced pressure-sensitive buttons in the iPhone 16 series last year, using sapphire glass and stainless steel trim, with high-precision force sensors, haptic feedback, and the ability to simulate the feel of a DSLR camera shutter, recognizing fine touch operations.

Furthermore, @Digital Chat Station previously revealed iQOO's new phone plans for the year, indicating that all their new models will have powerful configurations. Whether equipped with the Dimensity 9400+, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, or SM8735, all will feature a dedicated display chip. He also mentioned: "Single-cell batteries will also start with 7, while dual-cell batteries will start with 6," suggesting battery capacities above 6000mAh across the board. Beyond performance and battery life, all models will have ultra-eye-protection 1.5K LTPS screens and high ultrasonic content.

In short, the iQOO Z10 series is imminent, highlighted by its massive battery capacity, multiple model options, and potentially, pressure-sensitive buttons. Based on the leaks, we can expect significant improvements in performance, battery life, and gaming experience. While exact specifications remain unconfirmed, the iQOO Z9 series and recent leaks generate high anticipation for the iQOO Z10 series. This new series is poised to spark intense competition in the market. We eagerly await the official unveiling of the iQOO Z10 series and its potential to impress. Further confirmation is needed from official sources.
