iQOO has confirmed the launch of the Z10 Lite in India on June 18, 2025, and it’s already making headlines for its massive 6,000mAh battery, which the brand calls the “segment’s biggest battery 5G smartphone.” The teaser, shared via iQOO India’s official X handle, hints at a value-driven, entertainment-focused phone in the sub-₹10,000 5G segment.
Promoted under the tagline “A new Lite is about to shine”, the Z10 Lite will likely appeal to budget users who prioritize long-lasting battery life and multimedia use. iQOO also used the hashtag #FullyLoadedEntertainment, suggesting the phone will carry forward the Z-series’ positioning as a media-first lineup.
So far, iQOO has confirmed a 6,000mAh battery, which stands out in the affordable 5G segment. The company has also tagged Snapdragon India, suggesting the phone will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Design-wise, the Z10 Lite will feature a dual rear camera setup with vertically stacked sensors in a pill-shaped module, a speaker grille at the top, and physical buttons on the right edge.

While iQOO hasn’t shared full details on display size, charging speed, or camera specs, the overall positioning hints at a phone built for media consumption, casual gaming, and everyday multitasking.
The iQOO Z10 Lite 5G will launch in India on June 18, with availability expected via Amazon India and iQOO’s official website. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but given the “Lite” branding and teaser positioning, it’s expected to be the most affordable model in the Z10 lineup.
If priced under ₹10,000, the iQOO Z10 Lite will enter one of the most competitive smartphone categories in India. Key rivals in this space include Samsung Galaxy M06 / F06, Moto G35, Redmi A4 5G, and POCO M7 5G.
All these devices offer 5G connectivity at budget prices, and iQOO’s edge may lie in battery size and Snapdragon hardware. The Z-series typically targets budget-conscious users looking for balanced performance with a lean toward gaming and media consumption. The Z10 Lite may follow the same formula with a few trade-offs to hit a more accessible price point. However, the final impact will depend on the rest of the spec sheet and how aggressive the pricing turns out to be.
The Z10 series already consists of iQOO Z10x 5G launched at ₹13,499 (6GB + 128GB) and iQOO Z10 5G started at ₹21,999 (8GB + 128GB).
Several key specifications—such as the exact Snapdragon model, display size, camera resolution, and charging speed—are yet to be confirmed. iQOO is expected to reveal more in the coming days leading up to the launch. We’ll be updating with full specifications, hands-on impressions, and comparisons once the device officially debuts.
