The iQOO Z10R comes as the latest addition to the Z10 lineup, creating a middle ground between the family. Whereas the affordable iQOO Z10x is all about performance and long battery life at the entry-level price, and the more expensive iQOO Z10 is all about power and huge battery, the Z10R is set to combine the two worlds.

It offers good performance, good battery and a price that will not strain your wallet. In this review, we are going to see whether it is actually as well rounded a smartphone that can take on the daily tasks with aplomb as it claims to be. Also we will know the iQOO Z10R price in Bangladesh.

An In-Depth Review on iQOO Z10R

The iQOO Z10R is a flagship-grade phone with an outstanding battery life, a bright Curved AMOLED screen, and high performance. It is priced perfectly between affordability and performance, making it an excellent choice to people who desire high-end features but not the high-end price. Be it a gamer, multitasker or a casual user, this phone will give you a smooth and vibrant experience. I will discuss the iQOO Z10R price in Bangladesh in this review, its advantages and disadvantages to aid you in making the decision on whether it is the right choice or not.

The iQOO Z10R has everything you need to start using it immediately inside the box. It will include the iQOO Z10R smartphone itself and a fast 44W charger to charge the huge battery. There is also a USB Type-C cable, a clear protective case, and a SIM ejector tool. To make it even more convenient, you have user manuals and warranty information. All these will make sure you get everything you need to enjoy the phone features without having to buy other accessories.

Design & Build Quality

The design of the iQOO Z10R is a clear reference to the Vivo V50 series with a sophisticated and elegant design that is very distinctive in its category. The back panel is of brushed, reflective finish that reflects light very well making the phone have a premium look. This is accompanied by a metallic-finished frame that makes it sturdy and fashionable at the same time. The camera island on the back is one of the most prominent design features and it contains the lenses, as well as a special circular flash ring that iQOO calls the Aura Light. This minor lighting effect gives a futuristic feel and makes the phone look more attractive.

The iQOO Z10R is a very solid phone and it is built well. Although the device has a sturdy build, it is surprisingly light and weighs only 184 grams, making it comfortable to use over a long period of time without being bulky. It has a thin design, which is 163.3mm high, 76.7mm wide, and 7.4mm thick, balancing a big screen and convenient one-handed operation. The curved edges and corners are also useful in giving a comfortable hold and smooth overall appearance.

Other than the looks and feel, the iQOO Z10R is serious about durability. It is IP68 and IP69 rated, which makes it very dust and waterproof. This implies that the phone is water-resistant and can survive dust ingress, which gives confidence when using the phone daily, and in case of spillage.

The iQOO Z10R comes in two classy color variants, Aquamarine, and Moonstone. The two finishes have the reflective, brushed finish that characterizes the premium style of the phone, and the users can choose between them based on their preference.

The iQOO Z10R is a beautiful phone with a good build quality and practical durability that makes it an excellent option to those who prefer a stylish but durable mid-range smartphone.

Display

The screen is certainly one of the best features of the iQOO Z10R, and it really enhances the general user experience. The thing that makes it stand out in its segment is the unusual quad-curved design that smoothly curves around the edges, making the phone look sleek and modern and feel premium and unique. Not only does this curved display look more beautiful, but also makes it more comfortable to hold the phone and feel immersed.

It has a massive 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED display which has a high refresh rate of 120Hz. With this combination, you are guaranteed vivid colors, dark blacks, and smooth animations across the UI, be it when scrolling through social media, gaming, or watching videos. The screen is HDR10+ compatible, contributing to content playback richness with better contrast and more realistic colors.

As far as brightness is concerned, the display is quite impressive with a peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits, it is extremely visible even in the middle of the day. The high brightness mode normally peaks at about 1,300 nits in everyday use, more than sufficient to ensure the screen remains clear and readable both indoors and outdoors. I did not have any problems with the visibility of the screen during my time with the phone, no matter the conditions of the light.

The AMOLED panel has punchy and vivid colors that give an immersive viewing experience that goes with the multimedia features of the phone. To this experience, the iQOO Z10R has a stereo speaker system that is very crisp and loud. That is a huge improvement over the standard iQOO Z10, which has a mono speaker. The stereo speakers will improve gaming, video streaming and listening to music significantly as they provide a more enveloping, richer audio experience.

Its quad-curved AMOLED panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, great brightness, and stereo speakers upgraded make the iQOO Z10R one of the best display packages at this price.

Camera

The iQOO Z10R is a good price with a good camera, you get a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor and a depth sensor. The main camera has an optical image stabilization (OIS) and a wider field of view, which partially makes up for the lack of a dedicated wide-angle camera. The phone has a 32MP sensor on the front that is meant to take sharp selfies and clear video calls.

Daylight Photo:

Under daylight, the iQOO Z10R takes attractive shots with a decent dynamic range, balancing the highlights and the shadows. The colours are more towards the warmer and more saturated side, making the images appear to be social-media-ready right out of the camera, and minimizing post-processing requirements. Portrait shots turn out clean and detailed, but the camera smooths out facial features a bit, which gives the appearance of smoother skin. Selfies are clear and crisp, colours are well reproduced and do not exaggerate.

Low-light Photo:

The iQOO Z10R takes good pictures in low-light, but noise is evident at higher magnifications. The night mode is less spectacular, though, it tends to over-saturate colours, and photos look unnatural or over-processed. The main and front camera can record 4K video and, interestingly, you can switch between the cameras on the fly without stopping the recording, which is a handy feature of vloggers and content creators.

I pitted the cameras of the iQOO Z10R against those of the CMF Phone 2 Pro, another camera phone in this price range, and here are the results:

Both phones produce good results, but with slight variations in daylight. Images produced by the iQOO Z10R are more contrasted and have a wider dynamic range, and the output of the CMF Phone 2 Pro is flatter. The two are relatively similar in the detail level. Both phones do not reproduce colours perfectly; they both render scenes with slightly different tones and hues.

The iQOO Z10R seems to be superior to the CMF Phone 2 Pro at first in low-light conditions with night mode turned on. It reveals the scene more and controls lens flares and stray light in a more clean manner. But the CMF Phone 2 Pro is more realistic with its colour science and the iQOO Z10R uses more colour corrections and it might not suit everyone.

The differences come out more in portrait photography. Portrait shots are generally underexposed and lackluster on the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but the iQOO Z10R produces brighter, more naturally exposed photos with more natural skin tones. The CMF Phone 2 Pro also has a sharper facial detail due to its telephoto lens but fails in edge detection when compared to the iQOO Z10R which has a cleaner distinction between subject and background.

Performance & Software

The iQOO Z10R is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC at its core, complemented by 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. But there is a significant disadvantage, the absence of expandable storage.

In daily usage, the Z10R is quite responsive to the point of being lag-free and stutter-free. The app drawer was smooth, multitasking and app switching were smooth, and there were no heating problems even in normal usage.

The phone is impressive in terms of price in gaming. It can run such popular games as BGMI and Genshin Impact at medium settings with playable framerates. BGMI has 90fps on Smooth graphics, which does not keep it at 90fps but stays at 75fps. Games that are not as demanding such as COD: Mobile run at an average of more than 50fps on medium settings. The Vapour Chamber cooling system also keeps the thermals well-regulated with a minimal increase of 2.3-degree Celsius after half an hour of gameplay, making sure the phone is cool and comfortable.

The phone is powered by Funtouch OS 15 that is based on Android 15 and has a stable and smooth performance with a lot of customization available to play with animations and themes. Although the number of pre-installed apps has been reduced to 14, the UI design is dated and not polished. The variable refresh rate between applications and the general UX is a bit of a mismatch to the hardware capabilities of the phone. It works but fails to deliver on aesthetics and modern UI polish, which is a consideration in 2025.

The positive side is that some of the AI functions such as AI Screen Translate, Live Image text extraction, and AI Documentation are added to make it more user-friendly. iQOO offers two significant Android releases via Android 17 and security updates to 2028, which means the phone will be safe and up to date even in the long term.

AnTuTu Benchmark & GeekBench Score

The iQOO Z10R provides good performance scores, indicative of its performance in the mid-range category.

AnTuTu Benchmark (v10): The smartphone achieves an average result of about 7,00579 points, which allows it to outperform 83 percent of tested smartphones, which means that it performs well overall.

Geekbench 6: Z10R achieved 1,046 and 3,078 in single-core and multi-core respectively in the CPU-based tests, which means that it has good processing power in multitasking and demanding applications.

These benchmarks demonstrate the iQOO Z10R as a stable option to consider by users who want quality performance but do not want to spend on flagship products.

Battery & Charger

The 5,700mAh battery with 44W fast charging is one of the more surprising aspects of the iQOO Z10R. Although the battery capacity is lower than some of the competitors that provide 6,000mAh or even more, it performs well both on benchmarks and in real life use. During lab tests with approximately 2 hours of gaming and video playback, the battery only lost 21%, which is a little better than the segment average of 22%. It also beat a number of devices with bigger batteries even in PCMark battery life test.

Real-life performance I was able to achieve approximately 6-7 hours of screen-on time with 5G turned on. Although this is not earth shattering in 2025, it is sufficient to carry most users through a full day unless you are a heavy user. The charging times are not very impressive. With the 44W charger that is included, it takes a little over an hour to fully charge the battery. Since the battery is not that big, it would have been a pleasant addition to charge it faster, however, in general, the charging speed is decent and consistent.

The iQOO Z10R is a good compromise between battery life and charging performance, and is a good everyday phone that you do not have to worry about being out of battery all the time.

iQOO Z10R price in Bangladesh

This phone is sold in Bangladesh unofficially as of August 2025. The iQOO Z10R price in Bangladesh is BDT 27,000 (Unofficial) for 8GB of RAM and 128GB phone storage.

It should be mentioned that the prices can be a bit different according to the retailer and current promotions. Also, the iQOO Z10R is not available in Bangladesh officially, which means that warranty and after-sales service are not available. These factors ought to be considered by the potential buyers during a purchase decision.

Final Word

The iQOO Z10R is an impressive mid-range smartphone capable of good performance, a lively quad-curved AMOLED screen, and a decent camera system. Its 5,700mAh battery and 44W fast charging support you to last the whole day. The software is not perfect and there is no expandable storage but the entire package is excellent value at the price. The iQOO Z10R is a good option in 2025 as a well-rounded device that does not cost a fortune.
