In terms of internals, the Z10 Lite is likely a more basic variant of the previously launched Z10 and Z10x, which run on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 and Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processors, respectively. Those devices also pack massive batteries—up to 7,300mAh—and dual 50MP rear cameras, giving users a mix of performance and endurance.
While detailed specifications for the Z10 Lite are still under wraps, iQOO is expected to reveal more leading up to the June 18 launch. With its large 6,000mAh battery and competitive pricing, the Z10 Lite is poised to be a strong contender in India’s growing budget 5G smartphone market.
