iQOO is gearing up to unveil its Z10 Turbo series in April, and leaks have already painted a clear picture of what to expect. With high-refresh-rate AMOLED displays, powerful chipsets, and enormous batteries, the upcoming lineup aims to make a strong impression in the mid-to-premium smartphone category.
High-Refresh AMOLED and Two Powerful Chipsets
The iQOO Z10 Turbo is expected to feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth visuals for gaming and scrolling. That’s the same panel as its predecessor, meaning iQOO is sticking with a formula that works.
On the performance side, there’s an interesting split. The standard iQOO Z10 Turbo will reportedly run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8400, a chipset yet to be officially unveiled but expected to offer strong efficiency and power. Meanwhile, the Z10 Turbo Pro is said to house Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8s Elite (SM8735), likely a toned-down version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Battery and Charging: Pushing the Limits
iQOO is not holding back when it comes to battery life. The standard Z10 Turbo is rumored to pack a massive 7500mAh or 7600mAh battery with 90W fast charging. That’s bigger than what most flagships offer, making it a strong choice for power users.
The Z10 Turbo Pro, despite being the premium model, is expected to come with a slightly smaller 7000mAh battery, but it compensates with a blazing-fast 120W charging speed. The trade-off makes sense—faster charging with a still-huge battery means users won’t be left waiting long to power up.
Cameras: Familiar Yet Capable
Camera hardware appears to remain unchanged from its predecessor. The 50MP IMX882 main sensor and 16MP front camera are expected to return. While these sensors don’t sound groundbreaking, iQOO’s image processing improvements might make a noticeable difference.
One thing to watch is whether iQOO introduces new AI-powered enhancements, something many brands are focusing on in 2024.
More Models in the Lineup
The Z10 Turbo isn’t the only device coming. iQOO is also expected to launch a Z10 and a Z10x. The Z10x will cater to budget-conscious buyers, featuring an LCD screen instead of AMOLED and a MediaTek Dimensity chipset (model number 24M). However, it won’t be arriving until Q3 2025, meaning there’s still a long wait ahead.
What’s Next?
With the launch just weeks away, iQOO is likely to start dropping teasers soon. Expect official confirmations on specs, pricing, and availability as we get closer to April. If these leaks hold true, the Z10 Turbo series could be one of the most interesting smartphone releases in the mid-range and high-performance categories this year.
