iQOO Z10 Series: Made to Ace College and Everything After

Juggling lectures, assignments, social life, and side hustles within a budget can be a constant challenge for students in today’s digital age. This makes smartphones no longer a luxury, but very much a necessity. That said, the latest flagship phones all come with a steep price tag with features not always cut out for students.

This is where the all-new iQOO Z10 series steps in. This smartphone series comes with purpose-built tools designed to address the needs of college goers with up to a whopping 7300mAh battery and power-packed performance. Notably, iQOO is the first brand in the industry to launch a phone with such a massive battery capacity in India, that too in a 7.89mm slim profile. 

The iQOO Z10 series is ideal for managing classes, capturing, editing, and posting content, chatting + video calling, and making those long commutes less boring with gaming and video streaming – all on a single charge. Here’s how –

For students navigating the demanding schedule of college life filled with lectures, projects, and side hustles, and even part-time jobs, a reliable battery life is essential. The iQOO Z10’s gigantic 7300mAh battery – one of the biggest ever on a smartphone – perfectly addresses the anxiety of a dying phone. That too, in a 7.89mm slim avatar.

And iQOO managed to do this with some smart use of material science. The 7300mAh single-cell Li ion battery material utilizes industry-leading third-generation silicon carbon anode technology, increasing energy density by 15.7%, compared to previous generation high-performance graphite batteries. 

With these cutting-edge pieces of technology in place, the iQOO Z10 series achieves the impossible trifecta of a massive 7300mAh battery capacity, a slim 7.89mm profile, and 90W super fast charging. 

The iQOO Z10 and iQOO Z10x easily outlast any smartphone in its price range that usually packs a 5000mAh battery, and the massive power reserve translates to fewer interruptions during classes and outside. Be it when attending those long online classes, the social media game in between, and then going back home after a long day at the campus, the iQOO Z10 is the constant companion.  

Thanks to the large battery, the iQOO Z10 series is perfect for running those power-intensive note-taking applications, video conferencing apps, and accessing AI assistants, without the constant worry of the device running out of power in the middle of something.

Students going out on field trips or conducting off-site research, the iQOO Z10’s 7300mAh and the iQOO Z10x’s 6500mAh battery ensures projects get completed without the worry of the phone dying in between. You can document your findings, use the GPS for navigation, and communicate with the group without thinking of the power draining.

Heck, you can even lend some power to friends with a dying phone, and still have some left over for the long way back home. The iQOO Z10 also supports bypass charging, allowing you to draw power directly from the socket when playing a game or shooting a video.

Here’s a quick comparison to help you understand the benefits of such a large battery in different use cases –

Fastest Smartphones in this Segment

The iQOO Z10 combines its day-long battery life with super-fast performance, perfectly matching the energy within the campus where a lot is happening every minute. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 under the hood is tuned for students looking for that extra edge which translates into seamless multitasking between power hungry apps whether its switching between Zoom or Google Meet or a note-taking app, or running complex simulations for a science project, or compiling code for a programming assignment. The iQOO Z10’s lag-free performance ensures that students keep up with the fast pace of college learning, look things up quickly on search engines, or run demanding educational apps smoothly, without those frustrating delays. 

Thanks to the 12GB extended RAM, the iQOO Z10’s responsiveness not only saves time but also enhances focus and productivity, putting the focus back on learning instead of waiting for the results to load or the app to open. 

The iQOO Z10x features the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, which too is quite power efficient and performance heavy, scoring over 728k on the AnTuTu benchmark app. 

Premium display enables immersive viewing experience for students

The iQOO Z10 sports a premium Quad-curved AMOLED display and is immersive with a near bezel-less design, enhancing the overall appeal of the phone. It’s an instant attention-grabber in the crowd. The large screen minimises distractions, allowing for a more focused viewing experience when reading text-heavy PDFs or scrolling Instagram. The smooth curves help with a more comfortable grip while shooting videos, or making reels, while the 120Hz Eye Care Display makes it all the more smoother when using the phone.

The iQOO Z10 is one of the few smartphones with the quad-curved AMOLED panel that makes it stand out, emulating the experience one usually gets on a much more expensive flagship smartphone.

Now while the iQOO Z10’s quad-curved AMOLED display goes up to 5000 nits of local peak brightness, the iQOO Z10x provides 1050 nits of high Brightness mode, making their displays perfectly legible under harsh sunlight, while the dual stereo speakers with 400% volume boost make them ideal for watching videos in the noisy college canteen.

The iQOO Z10 series is also certified with military-grade durability, with toughened edges and protective glass cover. The phones support FunTouch OS 15 out of the box with the promise of two years of software updates and three years of security updates.

For students constantly on the move handling packed schedules, time is of essence. The iQOO Z10’s blazing-fast 90W Flash Charge capability takes care of the challenge of limited downtime. The iQOO Z10 can charge from 0-50% in just 33 minutes! Instead of being tethered to a wall outlet for most of the time, students can rapidly replenish their battery during short breaks between classes, or during a quick lunch break, or even in that brief window before heading home. 

The iQOO Z10x which also comes with 44W Flash Charge easily tops up the phone for long usage within minutes. This means less time spent waiting for the phone to charge and more time utilising the phone for learning, chatting, and taking care of side hustles.

The ability to go from a low battery to full charge in mere minutes is a blessing for flexibility and peace of mind. The iQOO Z10 is ready when you need it, for what you need it, with minimal disruptions.

It’s the age of AI and the iQOO Z10 is the perfect companion for students to make use of groundbreaking genAI tools. The iQOO Z10 comes loaded with dedicated AI features that makes college life far easier than it ever was for those already passed out. 

The AI Erase is perfect for content creation or while note-taking, offering a convenient way to declutter lecture notes, and images captured during classes. Want to erase the random bloke photobombing your selfie? Just point and wait for the magic to happen. Is a pesky wire getting in the way of that perfect shot of the campus? Poof, it’s gone.

The AI Note Assist and Super Document feature is particularly useful for students tackling complex concepts. Simply ask the AI to summarise a complex piece of text and get the core concepts in easily digestible bullet points. Have a long PDF to read before class? Simply ask the AI to give you the main points, or ask specific questions to find answers within the document, saving time and making your time in class more productive.

Want to look up that dress you saw online? Just draw a circle around the text or an image using AI Circle to Search to look it up on Google.
