iQOO unveiled the Dimensity 6300-powered iQOO Z10 Lite in June, which is currently available in India. Now, iQOO has introduced a new Z10 Lite with a different design and specs.
For starters, the new iQOO Z10 Lite is powered by the Snapdragon 685 SoC, meaning no 5G support. The smartphone runs Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 out of the box and comes with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, but storage expansion is not possible due to the lack of a microSD card slot.

The new iQOO Z10 Lite’s display is also different. It packs a 6.67″ screen, while the previous model is built around a 6.74″ display. However, it’s worth mentioning that the Dimensity model came with a 90Hz HD+ LCD having 1,000 nits brightness, while the Snapdragon version comes with a 120Hz FullHD+ AMOLED panel having 1,200 nits typical brightness and 1,800 nits of peak brightness.

The battery capacity of the new iQOO Z10 Lite remains the same as the previous version, at 6,000 mAh, but it charges faster: 44W vs. 15W. Regarding photography, the new iQOO Z10 Lite features three cameras – an 8MP selfie camera on the front and a dual camera setup on the rear comprising 50MP primary (Sony IMX582) and 2MP depth units. The previous Z10 Lite sported a 5MP front-facing camera.
The rest of the new iQOO Z10 Lite’s highlights include an in-display fingerprint scanner, IP68 and IP69 ratings, underwater photography support, and wet-hand support for the screen. The smartphone also features stereo speakers.
If the new iQOO Z10 Lite feels familiar, that’s because it’s a version of the vivo Y400 4G, which was introduced in Indonesia last month.

The new Z10 Lite comes in Taiga and Glacier colors (machine translated from Russian) and has two memory options – 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB. The smartphone is listed on iQOO’s Russian website, but its pricing and availability details aren’t mentioned.
