Wireless connectivity is another domain where the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro pulls meaningfully ahead. Its Wi-Fi support extends to Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), while the iQOO Z10x tops out at Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) — a two-generation gap. Wi-Fi 7 delivers substantially higher throughput, lower latency, and better performance in congested environments compared to Wi-Fi 5, which matters most for users on modern routers or in dense wireless settings like apartments or offices. The Turbo Pro's peak download speed of 4200 Mbits/s versus the Z10x's 3270 Mbits/s reflects this advantage in raw figures. Similarly, the Turbo Pro uses Bluetooth 6 against the Z10x's 5.4, offering improved connection stability and efficiency with compatible peripherals.
Two feature omissions on the Z10x are worth flagging. It lacks NFC, which rules out contactless payments and quick device pairing — a notable gap for users who rely on tap-to-pay functionality. It also has no infrared sensor, meaning it cannot be used as a universal remote control for TVs and appliances, a convenience feature the Turbo Pro includes. Both phones share 5G support, dual SIM, USB Type-C, fingerprint scanning, GPS with Galileo, and a gyroscope and accelerometer — so the fundamentals are covered on both sides.
The iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro holds a clear and well-rounded connectivity advantage: newer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth standards, faster cellular speeds, NFC, and an infrared sensor collectively make it the more future-proof and feature-complete device in this category.
