The upper end of the budget smartphone segment is highly competitive. On the one hand, we have high-end budget phones that offer good value but lack capable cameras. On the other hand, we have low-end mid-range phones that offer decent low-light imaging and better overall specifications, albeit at a slightly higher price. The iQOO Z10R is one such device that somehow does not fit in either of the above-mentioned smartphone segments. After using it for a few weeks, I discovered that the iQOO Z10R finds itself on the fence, trying to offer mid-range performance at a budget price. Does it succeed in finding its sweet spot? Or does it fail to deliver both value and performance? Read on to find out.

iQOO Z10R 5G Summary

The iQOO Z10R has a slim IP69-rated design that uses a polycarbonate frame and rear panel. The matte finished panel does gather fingerprints despite having a matte finish. Given its regular-sized battery the phone isn’t too thick, but it does not last as long as some competing devices.

Performance is good enough to sustain a smooth software experience. You can play casual games on it as well, but heavy games will start to lag once the phone heats up internally as it lacks a proper cooling mechanism.

Camera performance is not good overall. While the photos look passable from afar, they lack detail when zoomed in even by a bit. Its video recording capabilities aren’t too great either. While the software experience is smooth, we wished that its commitment to future updates was better.

Battery life is good, but you can get better performance from other smartphones at this price point. Charging speeds are average.
