iQOO launches Z10 Turbo series with Turbo Pro featuring Snapdragon 8s Gen 4

A while back, there were rumors about the iQOO Z10 series. Recently, the iQOO Z10 and Z10x were officially launched, and now the Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro have also been revealed. In this article, we’ll go over the features and specifications of the iQOO Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro, along with their expected prices in Nepal.

iQOO Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro Overview

Design and Display

The iQOO Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro are quite similar when it comes to looks and screen features. They both have a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen that shows content in Full HD+ resolution. The display refreshes at 144Hz, which means super-smooth scrolling, and it can go up to 2,000 nits of brightness, which is great for outdoor use.

Both phones also come with an optical fingerprint scanner for quick unlocking. Plus, thanks to their IP65 rating, they can handle dust and water splashes pretty well. You can choose the colors between Black, White, Orange, and Beige.

Performance and Battery

This is where the major differences show up. The iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, which is quite powerful. It has a Cortex X4 core running at 3.21 GHz, three Cortex A720 cores at 3 GHz, two more A720 cores at 2.8 GHz, and two more at 2.02 GHz.

On the flip side, the regular Turbo uses a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chip, which isn’t as powerful but still solid for mid-high range use. It features a faster Cortex A725 core at 3.25GHz, three A725 cores at 3GHz, and four more at 2.1GHz. This makes it very capable for gaming and multitasking, although the Pro is clearly a step ahead in raw power.

Memory-wise, both models come in either 12GB or 16GB RAM options and offer 256GB or 512GB of storage. Moving on to battery, the Pro has a 7,000 mAh battery with 120W charging support, but surprisingly, the regular Turbo packs an even larger 7,620 mAh battery, though with slower 90W charging. That makes the regular Turbo a better pick for endurance. Both phones can also charge other devices using OTG reverse wired charging, which adds to their utility. Software-wise, they run on OriginOS 5, built on Android 15, which should bring a fresh and updated user experience.

Camera and Rest

Coming to cameras, the Turbo Pro has a solid 50MP main sensor (LYT-600) and an 8MP ultrawide shooter. The regular Z10 Turbo, however, only gets a 2MP depth sensor instead, which feels like a missed opportunity because an ultrawide lens would have added more value. For selfies, both phones feature a 16MP front camera, which should work fine for social media and video calls.
