iQOO Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro: Leveling Up Gaming Smartphones
Gaming phones usually come with a hefty price tag, but iQOO is shaking things up with their new Z10 Turbo and Z10 Turbo Pro. These phones are packed with powerful hardware and features that gamers actually care about, all without breaking the bank.
Let’s start with what’s under the hood. The Z10 Turbo runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset—a brand new processor with an octa-core setup, including a zippy 3.25 GHz Cortex-A725 core for heavy lifting. It’s backed by a whopping 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, so multitasking and quick swaps between games and apps won’t slow things down. Storage-wise, 256GB of UFS 4.0 means faster app loading and enough space for all your favorite games and media without having to constantly delete files.
The Turbo Pro, on the other hand, goes even further by swapping in Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. That’s a serious step up if you need high frame rates for demanding shooters or racing games. No lag, no stutter—just pure performance aimed at gamers who want every advantage.
Features Built for Gamers
Both models feature a big, bold 6.78-inch AMOLED screen. It brings out the best in your games with vivid colors, deep blacks, and a buttery-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. That means motion stays crisp, whether you’re scrolling or battling opponents. And with up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness, you can play outside in the sun without squinting at your phone.
Battery anxiety? Forget it. The Z10 Turbo packs in a gigantic 7620mAh battery, while the Turbo Pro still offers a massive 7000mAh. Both support 120W fast charging, so you can top up your battery to full in minutes, not hours. You’ll be the one waiting on matchmaking, not your charger.
Design-wise, these phones don’t look like toy gadgets. You get a slick glass front with a sturdy plastic back, making them both premium and practical. At 212 grams, they’re solid in your hand but not too bulky to pocket. Color options include Black, White, Orange, and Gold, so you can pick something that matches your style or stands out in a crowd.
- Gaming smartphone features: Advanced cooling systems to keep your device from heating up in the middle of intense matches.
- Both phones offer up to 12GB RAM and ample onboard storage, so you never compromise on speed or space.
- The price starts at around $247 for the Z10 Turbo and $274 for the Turbo Pro—impressive, considering many flagships with similar hardware cost much more.
While these phones are already listed for China, there’s still no official word on whether India or other markets will get them. But with this kind of hardware at that price, it could put serious pressure on rivals—and give gamers on a budget something to seriously consider.
