iQOO Z10 4G Launched With Snapdragon 685, 6,000mAh Battery, And Familiar Vivo Design In Russia

The smartphone market in Russia has just welcomed the iQOO Z10 Lite 4G, a fresh release that adds muscle and modern aesthetics to the mid-range segment.

Building on iQOO’s reputation for robust hardware and value-focused devices—and leveraging Vivo’s acclaimed design philosophy—this launch is set to catch the attention of performance enthusiasts and style-conscious users alike.

Design and Build: A Familiar Vivo Touch

One of the first things users notice about the Z10 Lite 4G is its striking resemblance to Vivo’s Y-series phones. The device sports a sleek finish, available in Taiga Green and Glacier White, with a camera layout and back panel design reminiscent of the popular Vivo Y400.

iQOO continues its minimalist and premium approach, offering a comfortable grip courtesy of subtle curves and understated colors.

The phone weighs about 196g (Taiga) and 198g (Glacier), maintaining a slim profile at just under 8mm thickness.

The in-display fingerprint sensor adds sophistication and convenience—rare in this price bracket.

Core Performance: Snapdragon 685 Power

At the heart of the iQOO Z10 Lite 4G is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 chipset, built on a capable 6nm architecture.

This SoC strikes a perfect balance between energy efficiency and responsive performance, making multitasking, gaming, and everyday browsing seamless. Users get 8GB LPDDR4X RAM paired with up to 256GB UFS 2.2 storage, ensuring smooth operation and ample space for apps and files.

The device runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 15, keeping the UI fresh, customizable, and future-ready.

Display: Vivid Colors and Fast Refresh

A vibrant 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display takes center stage on the Z10 Lite 4G. With an adaptive 60Hz–120Hz refresh rate, the screen guarantees sharp visuals and effortless scrolling.

Boasting up to 1,200nits peak brightness and a 394ppi pixel density, everything from streaming to gaming is a treat. Whether indoors or under sunlight, clarity and color punch remain impressive.

Battery Life: Marathon Endurance

The headline spec is the 6,000mAh battery, a true powerhouse in its class. Long journeys, extended gaming sessions, and heavy usage days are no longer a concern.

Supporting 44W fast charging, the Z10 Lite 4G refuels quickly—significantly faster than its 5G counterpart in India, which supports slower speeds. Reverse charging is also on board, letting users power up accessories on the go.

Camera Setup: Ready for Every Shot

Photography gets a boost from a 50MP primary camera with f/1.8 aperture, delivering crisp pictures in varied lighting.

The secondary 2MP lens assists with depth effects, while an 8MP front camera ensures selfies and video calls look sharp. The rear camera module differs slightly in visual design compared to its Indian cousin, adding further individuality to Russian units.

Durability and Connectivity

To handle everyday mishaps, the device comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, making it resistant to dust and water—a notable feature for outdoor users and durability fans.

Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, USB Type-C 2.0, and extensive location services support (GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, GNSS).

Pricing and Availability

The iQOO Z10 Lite 4G starts at RUB 16,999 (about ₹18,700) for the 8GB/128GB variant, and RUB 18,499 (about ₹20,300) for the 8GB/256GB model.

Availability, as of now, is exclusive to Russia, with no confirmed dates for launches in India or other markets.

Why It Matters

This launch strategically positions iQOO to compete head-to-head against both global and local contenders in the mid-range market.

The familiar Vivo styling, top-tier battery capacity, and Snapdragon processing power set the Z10 Lite 4G apart from most rivals.

It’s a perfect pick for users prioritizing:

• Long battery life

• Fast, reliable performance

• Premium design at a wallet-friendly price

• Modern camera and display tech

• Dependable build quality

Conclusion

The iQOO Z10 Lite 4G in Russia is not just another mid-range Android phone—it represents the fusion of performance, design, and durability for everyday users seeking value and reliability.

If future launches extend to other countries, expect this model to stir significant interest among savvy smartphone buyers.
