iQOO is set to introduce a new member to the Z10 family, the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G, in India. This will be the third entrant in the lineup after the iQOO Z10 and iQOO Z10x. From the looks of it, the upcoming Z10 Lite 5G will offer some serious competition in the sub-Rs 15,000 segment in India.
In an official X (formerly Twitter) post, iQOO India CEO Nipun Maurya confirmed that the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G will be launched on June 18, 2025, in India. The launch banner gave us a glimpse into the design of the back panel and some of the phone's key specifications.
From the looks of it, the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G will tackle some, if not all, of the pain points of last year's iQOO Z9 Lite 5G. Starting with a sizable upgrade to the battery capacity, the upcoming smartphone will pack a 6,000mAh battery, a 1,000mAh upgrade over the Z9 Lite's 5,000mAh battery.

Coming to the rear design, it is clear that iQOO has taken some inspiration from the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, especially in the camera design. The pill-shaped vertical camera module looks quite similar.
Other than that, the back panel appears to be made of plastic with a diamond-cut geometric pattern. In the multimedia department, the Z10 Lite 5G will feature dual stereo speakers, something the iQOO Z9 Lite lacked. The phone is also expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset.
You can expect more details about the Z10 Lite to emerge as the launch date nears, so stay tuned.
