The iQOO Z10 Lite is here, offering solid performance at an affordable price. Priced at INR 9,999 ($115), this budget-friendly phone packs a punch with its MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset and a large 6,000mAh battery. 
The device is set to compete in the entry-level market and is also expected to debut soon as the vivo T4 Lite.
The phone sports a 6.74-inch IPS LCD screen with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. While the HD+ display might not be the highest resolution out there, it’s a solid choice for this budget, offering 1,000 nits of peak brightness for easy visibility even under sunlight. A 5MP front-facing camera is placed on the front for selfies.
On the back, the Z10 Lite features a 50MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 powers the device, supported by up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage. The 6,000mAh battery offers solid endurance, though it’s a bit slow to charge with 15W charging speed.
The Z10 Lite runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 15, and promises three years of security updates, a nice touch for a budget phone. It also includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, and even a headphone jack, which is becoming increasingly rare in this price segment.
Coming in two colors – Titanium Blue and Cyber Green – the Z10 Lite is an appealing choice for those looking for a budget phone that doesn’t compromise on features. It’s available in three configurations: 4/128GB for INR 9,999, 6/128GB for INR 10,999, and 8/256GB for INR 12,999. There’s also a discount for SBI cardholders. The phone will be available starting June 25 through the iQOO online store and Amazon India.
