The iQOO Z10x is a budget 5G smartphone that combines solid performance, long battery life, and a minimalistic design. But how well does it actually perform in daily use? In this detailed review, we break down everything from design and display to gaming capabilities and camera performance to help you decide if it’s the right pick.

Prev Next

1. Design and Build

165.70 x 76.3 x 8.09mm | 204 grams
IP64 rating | MIL-STD-810H certified
Panda Glass for display
Colors: Titanium | Ultramarine Blue

The iQOO Z10x brings a modern, minimalistic design that looks more premium than expected for its price. I have the Titanium variant, which has a matte-glitter finish and a glossy rectangular camera island that adds a subtle flair. There’s also an Ultramarine color option for those who prefer a bolder look.

In hand, the Z10x feels quite ergonomic. At 8.09mm thick and 204 grams, it is both slim and manageable despite its large battery. The flat sides and slightly sharp edges may not be the most comfortable for extended use, but the solid plastic build still feels refined. Button placement is well thought out, with the power button doubling as a fingerprint scanner on the right and the SIM tray on the left. The phone is also rated IP64 and MIL-STD 810H certified, offering decent durability.

That said, I wish the Z10x’s design were consistent with the iQOO Z10, which features a circular camera module. Ideally, all phones in the same series should have a similar visual identity.

Unboxing the Z10x, you get a 44W fast charger, a USB Type-A to Type-C cable, a transparent case, SIM ejector tool, and some documentation.

2. Display and Audio

Outdoor

6.59-inch IPS LCD FHD+ (2408 x 1080)
120Hz refresh rate
1,050nits peak brightness
HDR: HDR10, HDR10+
Dual speakers

The iQOO Z10x features a 6.72-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 1,050 nits. While colours and contrast are a notch below AMOLED panels, the display performs well enough for streaming, gaming, and casual use. Viewing angles are typical of LCDs, and brightness is adequate even under direct sunlight. The phone’s Widevine L1 certification ensures Full HD playback on OTT platforms. The display also comes with support for wet and greasy touch.

In terms of audio, the dual stereo speakers are fairly loud with balanced output. There’s also an audio booster mode that enhances loudness up to 400 percent, though clarity at high volumes could be better. Overall, the Z10x delivers a solid media experience for its price.

3. Performance and Software

iQOO Z10x and its notification LED – Dynamic Light

Dimensity 7300
LPDDR4x RAM | UFS 3.1
Variants: 6GB+128GB | 8GB+128GB | 8GB+256GB
Android 15 | FunTouch OS 15
6,550mAh battery | 44W wired charging

The iQOO Z10x is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, built on a 4nm process and paired with up to 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The phone delivers smooth performance for everyday tasks and light to moderate gaming. Apps load quickly, and multitasking is fluid, thanks to fast storage and effective memory management.

In BGMI, it supports HDR + Ultra (60fps), maintaining stable frame rates. COD Mobile also runs smoothly on high settings with minimal heat. The standout feature of the iQOO Z10x is its massive 6,500mAh battery, paired with 44W fast charging (charger included). In daily use, the phone easily lasts over a day, even with gaming, streaming, and social media. After 60 minutes of gaming, battery drain was just 4 percent, with no noticeable heat or throttling. Charging takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes from 0 to 100 percent, which is decent considering the battery size. Overall, the Z10x excels in power efficiency, making it ideal for users who value strong battery life and smooth, stable performance.

Running FunTouch OS 15 based on Android 15, the phone offers a clean interface with subtle enhancements. There are around 50+ pre-installed apps out of the box; most are removable. iQOO promises two Android OS updates and three years of security patches. Features like Circle to Search and AI Eraser add convenience, while customization options for the home screen, Always-on Display, and dynamic animations enrich the experience. Here’s how it performs on benchmarking apps:

4. Camera and Other Features

1x

Front: 8MP (OmniVision OV08D10)
Rear: 50MP (Samsung S5KJNS) + 2MP (GalaxyCore GC02M1)

The iQOO Z10x features a 50-megapixel main camera, which lacks OIS support, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor on the back, while the front houses an 8-megapixel selfie camera. The setup lacks a dedicated ultra-wide lens. In daylight, the primary sensor captures well-lit shots with vibrant colors and reasonable detail. Night performance is adequate, with the sensor pulling in decent exposure and clarity, though some grain is noticeable under tricky lighting.

Portraits deliver good subject separation, though skin tones may sometimes appear overly processed. The phone supports 4K video recording at 60fps, with OIS stabilization for smoother footage. It also offers 1x and 2x zoom toggles while recording. The selfie shooter performs well in daylight, delivering sharp and colour-balanced images. Low-light selfies show signs of softness and mild overprocessing but remain usable.

The iQOO Z10x lacks NFC support and does not allow users to customize vibration intensity. As it uses an LCD panel, the fingerprint scanner is placed on the side for quick access. An IR blaster on the back allows you to control appliances like TVs and ACs. The phone also comes with a large graphite cooling area, helping keep temperatures under control during extended gaming or charging. On the connectivity front, the device comes with support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB-C. The Z10x available in the Chinese market comes with support for NFC connectivity.

5. Verdict

The iQOO Z10x impresses with its efficient MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, massive 6,500mAh battery, and smooth 120Hz display. While it misses out on NFC and an ultra-wide camera, it nails the basics with reliable performance, long-lasting power, and decent cameras for the price. If you’re seeking a well-rounded 5G smartphone under Rs 15,000, the Z10x is a dependable and practical choice.

iQOO Z10x price in India

The iQOO Z10x is available in three variants:

6GB+128GB: Rs 13,499
8GB+128GB: Rs 14,999
8GB+256GB: Rs 16,499
Colours: Ultramarine | Titanium

In this price segment, the iQOO Z10x faces competition from other Dimensity 7300-powered phones, such as the Infinix Note 50s, which features a 144Hz AMOLED display but a 1,000mAh smaller battery; and the Infinix Note 50x 5G, which packs a 120Hz LCD screen and a 5,500mAh battery. There’s also the Vivo T4x 5G, which is a renamed version of the Z10x available via Flipkart, while the Z10x is available via Amazon in India.

Straying away from Dimensity 7300 brings other competitors, such as the Realme P3 (Snapdragon 6 Gen 4), Poco M7 Pro (Dimensity 7025), Vivo Y39 5G (Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, which seems like the Snapdragon version of the iQOO Z10x), Realme Narzo 80x and Realme P3x (Dimensity 6400), and the Samsung Galaxy F16/M16 (Dimensity 6300), and Lava Bold 5G.

However, none of these can beat the iQOO Z10x in the battery department. The Realme P3, Galaxy M16/F16, and Lava Bold appear competitive as they feature an AMOLED panel (curved on Lava) and a 6,000mAh battery.

One UI 8 rollout won’t follow One UI 7’s pace — beta could kick off as soon as next month

By

-

May 4, 2025

Samsung’s One UI 8, based on Android 16, is already in internal testing, and a leak from @tarunvats33 on X suggests its beta program could launch as early as June 2025. Set to debut with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 by July, it might feel more like a One UI 7.1 tweak than a major overhaul.

One UI 7’s rollout faced delays, but Samsung is wasting no time with One UI 8. Internal builds tested on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and S25 Ultra show it’s shaping up for a July or August 2025 release, likely alongside Samsung’s next foldables. The One UI 8 beta, expected to start in June, will let users on devices like the S25 and Z Fold 6 test the update early, ironing out bugs over a few months.

Samsung is staying tight-lipped about the beta’s launch, but that’s par for the course—official word typically drops days before it goes live. One UI 8, running Android 16, may not pack huge changes. It feels like a polished One UI 7.1, with minor tweaks like smoother animations and AI video summaries. This rushed timeline skips a separate 7.1 release, aligning Samsung’s update cycle after One UI 7’s hiccups.

Expect One UI 8 to hit the S25 and foldables first, with older devices following. While not a game-changer, its early beta and launch show Samsung’s hustle to stay ahead of Android 16’s curve. Will it wow like One UI 7’s revamped Quick Panel, or just refine the basics? June’s beta will spill the beans.

The main sensor is the same 1/1.3-inch unit found in the Ultra, capable of producing high-quality 2x zoom shots. The selfie camera uses a 1/3.2″ S5K3LU sensor.

The device will run One UI 7 based on Android 15 and will offer features such as an IP68 rating, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 7, and AI-assisted tools. It weighs 163g. In Germany, pricing starts at €1,249 for the 256GB model and €1,369 for the 512GB model, available in Titanium Jet Black, Titanium Icy Blue, and Titanium Silver.

The phone is expected to launch in Korea and China by May 23 and in the US and other markets by May 30, with a starting price of $1,099.

History repeats itself: Galaxy S26 in Europe to use Exynos 2600

By

-

May 4, 2025

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, expected in early 2026, might revive the Exynos-Snapdragon split, with Europe getting the Exynos 2600 and other regions the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. This echoes past strategies, despite fan pushback, and could affect the S26 lineup’s performance dynamics.

After equipping the Galaxy S25 series solely with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Samsung is reportedly eyeing its Exynos 2600 for the S26, per @Jukanlosreve on X. According to the tipster, the 2nm Exynos 2600, facing yield issues, will be limited to Europe, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 powers the S26 elsewhere. However, the split may apply only to the S26 and S26+, with the S26 Ultra sticking to Snapdragon globally, mirroring the S24’s setup.

Europe’s Exynos history isn’t new—Samsung has long powered its European Galaxy flagships with in-house chips, despite their weaker performance, power efficiency, and thermal issues. The Galaxy S22 models, for instance, used the Exynos 2200 in Europe, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 dominated elsewhere.

Galaxy fans in the region have long griped about Exynos’ weaker GPU and efficiency compared to Snapdragon, yet Samsung seems unfazed. The Exynos 2600 promises 15-25% better efficiency, but its 40% yield lags TSMC’s 60%.

Europe’s S26 could offer decent battery life, as seen with the S24’s Exynos 2400, but gaming performance might trail Snapdragon’s Adreno GPU. Launching January 2026, the S26 series’ regional split seems to disappoint Galaxy enthusiasts. Will Europe’s Exynos 2600 hold up, or will history repeat itself, with Snapdragon models outperforming the rest? Only time will tell.

Titan Army P2510H Pro+ Specifications

The P2510H Pro+ features a 24.5-inch Fast IPS panel with a Full HD resolution of 1920×1080. It equips a native 300Hz panel, factory-boosted to 320Hz, paired with a 1ms GtG response time. That combo should appeal to FPS and MOBA players looking to squeeze every frame advantage possible without breaking the bank.

It also supports Adaptive-Sync, which means smoother motion and less tearing regardless of your GPU brand. Additionally, it features VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, offering a peak brightness of 400 nits and a 1000:1 static contrast ratio for improved dynamic range.

For creators and color-sensitive workflows, the P2510H PRO+ supports 99% sRGB and 93% DCI-P3 color gamuts, with a claimed 122% sRGB volume. It comes factory-calibrated with an average Delta E<2 and includes preset color modes like sRGB, DCI-P3, and MacView.

ASUS TUF Gaming T500 Launches with Laptop CPU and Desktop GPU in a Compact Build

By

-

May 4, 2025

ASUS is selling a new small gaming PC, the TUF Gaming T500, starting at $1,299. It looks like a typical gaming PC from the outside, but what’s inside is different.

The top model uses an Intel Core i7-13620H laptop chip instead of a regular desktop CPU. This CPU has six fast cores (up to 4.9GHz) and four efficient cores, so it can still run modern games. However, it’s soldered to a special motherboard, meaning you can’t upgrade it later. The RAM is also the type used in laptops (SO-DIMM), which also limits upgrades. Even the CPU cooler is custom-made and would need a new motherboard if you wanted to change it.

The good news is that the graphics card is a standard desktop part. You can choose up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of memory. It supports newer technologies like DLSS 4. Other specs include up to 64GB of fast DDR5 RAM (SO-DIMM), up to 2TB of fast SSD storage, and a good 500W power supply. It has fast WiFi 6, a regular Ethernet port, and front ports: two fast USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and a headphone/microphone jack. On the back, there are two standard USB ports, two HDMI ports (one older, one newer), a DisplayPort, three audio jacks for surround sound, and a network port.

The design looks like something from a mecha anime, with a see-through or metal side and yellow lights. The case is built to be tough (MIL-STD-810H certified), weighs 6kg, and is 15.5 x 29.6 x 34.7 cm in size.

Honor 400 full specs and price leak ahead of launch

By

-

May 4, 2025

Honor’s upcoming Honor 400, a mid-range contender, has had its full spec sheet and price tag leaked. Set to launch globally with a 200MP camera, Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, and AI-packed MagicOS 9.0, it promises big upgrades over the Honor 300 at a competitive price.

The Honor 400, succeeding the Honor 300, is poised to shake up the mid-range market, with renders previously shared but pulled at Honor’s request. Available in Black and Gold/Grey, it sports a sleek 184g frame (156.5×74.6×7.3mm) and an IP65 rating, per YTECHB. The 6.55-inch AMOLED display boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and 5,000 nits peak brightness. Powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, it runs Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0 with AI goodies like Google Gemini, Circle to Search, and AI Eraser.

Its camera setup shines with a 200MP f/1.9 main sensor and a 12MP ultrawide (112° FOV), plus a 50MP f/2.0 selfie cam, outpacing the Honor 300’s 50MP main. A 5,300mAh battery with 66W SuperCharge keeps it juiced, though it trails the 100W of the Honor 400 Pro. The predecessor also featured a 5,300mAh battery with 100W fast charging. However, the Honor 300 wasn’t as compact as the upcoming Honor 400, offering a 6.7-inch display compared to the latter’s rumored 6.55-inch screen.

Priced at €499 for 8GB/512GB (matching the Honor 200’s 8GB/256GB), a 256GB variant is also expected. Launching in May 2025 in China, with a global rollout by June, it’s shaping up to be a strong iQOO Neo 10 contender. Will its AI and camera prowess justify the price? We’re pumped to find out!

One UI 8’s Home Launcher leaks, promises even smoother and lifelike animations

By

-

May 4, 2025

While Samsung is rolling out One UI 7 to more Galaxy devices, a leaked One UI Home Launcher v17.0.00.43 for One UI 8, set to debut with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 in July 2025, has surfaced on APKMirror. Extracted from an internal One UI 8 build, it hints at even smoother and more lifelike animations, but you’ll need to wait to use it.

Samsung’s One UI 7, featuring its split Quick Panel and Galaxy AI perks, has reached a wide range of flagship devices — from the latest models down to the Galaxy S21 series and third-generation foldables — but One UI 8 is already stealing the spotlight. Power users flashing internal One UI 8 builds on the Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, and S25 Ultra have uncovered the One UI Home Launcher v17, now listed on APKMirror. This app, the backbone of Galaxy home screen features like widgets, icons, and gestures, is built for One UI 8’s new animation engine, promising buttery-smooth app transitions.

The leaked v17.0.00.43 APK, tied to Android 16, won’t play nice with One UI 7 or earlier—sideloading it on older systems leads to crashes or installation failures, per SammyFans. One UI 8’s animation upgrades, enhancing app opening and closing, rely on this launcher, which could make the S25 feel snappier.

Alongside the expected AI video summaries features and a revamped Browser, the new launcher could also be positioned as a highlight feature of Samsung’s Android 16-based One UI 8. For now, the launcher APK is a tease—you’ll need One UI 8 to unlock its potential.

Will these animations outshine iOS 19 or Pixel’s Android 16 launcher? We’re excited to find out.

By

May 4, 2025

Last month, Motorola unveiled the Motorola Edge 60 series and Razr 60 series for the global market. The Edge 60 series includes multiple models, such as the Edge 60, Edge 60 Stylus, Edge 60 Fusion, and Edge 60 Pro. The lineup also includes the Edge 60 Ultra, which hasn’t gone official yet. On the other hand, the Razr 60 lineup has two models: the Razr 60 and 60 Ultra. On May 8, the Lenovo-owned company will hold a dedicated launch event in China to unveil the Edge 60 series and Razr 60 lineup.

Motorola Edge 60s teaser

To be specific, the Chinese market will get three Edge 60 series phones, namely the Edge 60, Edge 60s, and Edge 60 Pro. Shown below is the official commercial for the Edge 60s.

While the Edge 60s moniker is unheard of before, it does not seem to be an entirely new phone. The device appears to be the XT2503-3 phone that was recently approved by the Chinese certification platforms, including TENAA. This device is nothing but a rebranded version of the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion available in other markets.

Motorola Edge 60s specifications

The Motorola Edge 60s is expected to feature a 6.7-inch P-OLED curve-edge panel that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device will feature the Dimensity 7400 chip and a 5,500mAh battery with 68W wired and 15W wireless charging support.

The Edge 60s will feature a 32-megapixel camera for selfies. On the back, it may feature a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-700C primary camera with OIS support and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens with macro shooting capabilities. The device will have an IP68/69-rated chassis that measures 8.2mm in thickness and weighs 190 grams. The official poster reveals that it will be available in shades like mint, pink, and purple.

By

May 4, 2025

Recently, an upcoming Oppo phone with model number PKZ110 was spotted on Geekbench. The device was found equipped with the Dimensity 8400 chipset. A recent Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station reveals that it is the upcoming Reno 14 Pro.

Oppo Reno 14 series could be equipped with Dimensity 8450

According to DCS, the Oppo PKZ110 will be called the Reno 14 Pro when it hits the market in China. While the Geekbench listing suggested that the device has the Dimensity 8400 onboard, the leakster claims that it is equipped with the upcoming Dimensity 8450. There is a possibility that the standard Reno 14 may also feature the D8450 chip. However, this is just an assumption, and we have to wait for further reports to know its chipset. The rumour mill is yet to reveal the model number of the standard edition.

On being asked what the difference is between Dimensity 8450 and the existing Dimensity 8400, the tipster said it’s the same as the difference between the Dimensity 8350 and Dimensity 8300. For those unfamiliar, the Reno 13 and 13 Pro feature the Dimensity 8350 SoC.

To recall, while the Dimensity 8350 and 8300 share identical CPU and GPU configurations, the 8350 offers notable enhancements in gaming through its StarSpeed Engine, promising better power efficiency, smoother scene transitions, and improved touch response. It also brings minor upgrades in AI capabilities and potentially slightly better power efficiency overall.

In the same way, the forthcoming Dimensity 8450 and Dimensity 8400 share the same CPU and GPU core specs, as indicated by the Geekbench listing. However, the D8450 is expected to offer slightly better gaming performance, likely due to an enhanced StarSpeed Engine, offering similar advancements to those seen in prior MediaTek chips. Additional optimizations may also boost scene transitions and overall responsiveness

As the Reno 14 series is expected to launch this month in China, the Dimensity 8450 is likely to be officially unveiled just before the Reno 14 series debut. The above leak also suggests that Oppo may unveil other devices like the Enco Clip earbuds and Pad SE tablet alongside the Reno 14 lineup. The Pad SE will feature an 11-inch LCD panel, a Dimensity G100 (upcoming) chip, and a 9,30mAh battery with 33W fast charging. It will measure 7.39 mm in thickness and weigh 530 grams.

Google’s version of Samsung’s Dex is almost ready, here’s the first look

Samsung DeX has long been one of the standout features of Samsung phones. It lets you turn your handheld into something that resembles a desktop computing experience. Now, Google appears to be taking a page from that playbook. Since Android 14, the company has been quietly working on its own desktop mode for Pixel devices.

Android 15 introduced a developer preview of a “desktop windowing” feature for the Pixel Tablet. With Android 16, the feature has evolved into something more polished, now labeled “Enable desktop experience features.” And thanks to Android Authority’s Mishaal Rahman, we’re getting an early look at how it works in practice.

Android 16 Desktop Mode

Rahman managed to get the feature running on a Pixel 8 Pro connected to a laptop. The Android desktop interface has a taskbar at the bottom, complete with three-button navigation on the right.

The taskbar also shows your most recent apps, and yes, you can launch multiple apps in split-screen view. Just like your regular PCs.

A swipe down from the top opens a quick access menu. This layout features the usual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles with options to add more or remove them from the menu.

The battery indicator is at the top right of the home screen, while the time is displayed on the upper left. It’s all very much what you’d expect from a desktop-inspired UI, and that seems to be the point here. Not to forget, you can still use your phone when the desktop window is active.

The feature might seem functional and all, but this isn’t a finished product. Rahman says that it is still a work in progress and “almost certainly won’t launch in the upcoming Android 16 stable release.” It might make its debut in one of the quarterly Android 16 updates, according to Rahman.

ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 DOOM Edition

The card features a custom design based on the Doom Slayer, with a green and gold color scheme, Doom-themed artwork on the backplate, and green fans inspired by the Shield Saw. It also includes subtle in-game references around the frame and gold accents on the mounting bracket and heatsink.

Cooling is handled by four Axial-tech fans that increase airflow and pressure by up to 20%, a large fin array, a patented vapor chamber, a milled heatspreader, and phase-change thermal pads. It uses a 3.8-slot design to maximize airflow and performance, making it well-suited for 4K high-refresh-rate gaming.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel to DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, built on the new idTech8 engine with native ray tracing. This limited-edition card is available only on the Bethesda Gear Store.
