Vivo iQOO Z10

The Vivo iQOO Z10 has a standard candy-bar form factor — it does not fold and lacks a rugged build. It measures 163.4 mm tall, 76.4 mm wide, and 7.9 mm thick, with a total volume of roughly 98.62 cm³ and a weight of 199 g. One of its more notable design attributes is its IP68 ingress protection rating, which classifies it as waterproof under the conditions defined by that standard.

The Vivo iQOO Z10 features a 6.77″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2392 px and a pixel density of 388 ppi. It runs at a 120Hz refresh rate and reaches a typical brightness of 1300 nits, with Always-On Display support keeping basic information visible when the screen is idle. The panel does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no branded damage-resistant glass or secondary screen.

The Vivo iQOO Z10 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 — a 4 nm, 64-bit octa-core SoC with an eight-thread CPU configuration using big.LITTLE and HMP architecture, clocked at 1 x 2.5 GHz, 3 x 2.4 GHz, and 4 x 1.8 GHz, with a turbo speed of 2.4 GHz and a TDP of 5W. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 710 GPU running at 1050 MHz, with support for DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2, and 128 shading units. The chipset also includes integrated LTE and TrustZone security. The device comes with 12 GB of DDR5 RAM at 3200 MHz — expandable up to a maximum of 16 GB — alongside 256 GB of internal storage, a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s, and an AnTuTu score of 823,249, with Geekbench 6 results of 1,162 single-core and 3,239 multi-core.

The Vivo iQOO Z10 has a dual-lens rear camera combining a 50 MP main sensor at f/1.8 and a 2 MP lens at f/2.4, both using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination. The main camera supports optical image stabilization, phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during video, and a manual controls suite covering ISO, exposure, focus, and white balance — though manual shutter speed is absent. It can record video at up to 2160p at 30 fps with slow-motion and timelapse modes available, but HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not supported. There is no optical zoom, and the single LED flash is not dual-tone or RGB. On the front, a 32 MP single-lens camera sits at f/2.0 without a front flash or under-display placement. Both cameras support HDR mode, burst shooting, and in-camera panoramas, though 360° panorama and 3D capture are not available.

The Vivo iQOO Z10 runs Android 15 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, among them clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking — though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are absent. On the usability side, it supports dark mode, dynamic and manual theme customization, customizable notifications, a media picker, widgets, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, Live Text, and an extra dim mode. It also offers on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and phone tracking. Multi-user support, app offloading, child lock, sharing intents, battery health check, and the ability to play games while they download round out the feature set. Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, Quick Start, and the option to use the device as a PC are not available, and OS updates do not come directly from the platform vendor.

The Vivo iQOO Z10 is equipped with a 7300 mAh rechargeable battery that is non-removable. It supports 90W fast wired charging and includes a battery level indicator, though wireless charging is not available.

The Vivo iQOO Z10 has a notably limited audio feature set. It lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack and does not include stereo speakers or a built-in radio. On the wireless audio side, none of the high-quality Bluetooth codecs are supported — there is no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC.

The Vivo iQOO Z10 supports 5G connectivity with a maximum download speed of 2900 Mbits/s, alongside Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.2, and a dual SIM configuration. It uses a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0 and does not include an external memory slot, HDMI output, or NFC. Sensor coverage includes a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, GPS with Galileo support, and an infrared sensor, while a fingerprint scanner handles biometric authentication — 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present. The device does not support ANT+, DLNA, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, motion or optical tracking, and there is no heart rate monitor, barometer, or built-in projector. A stylus is also not included.

The Vivo iQOO Z10 includes a video light for recording in low-light conditions. Its display is flat rather than curved, and the screen uses neither sapphire glass nor e-paper technology.
