TL; DR

The iQOO Z10 Lite is expected to launch in the third week of June.
Likely an upgrade over the Z9 Lite with a 1080p display.
The expected price is around ₹11,000.

iQOO is gearing up to expand its Z-series lineup with a new budget phone, the iQOO Z10 Lite, expected to launch in the third week of June in India. After the recent launches of the iQOO Z10 and Z10x priced around ₹20,000 and ₹16,000 respectively, the Z10 Lite will be positioned as a budget-friendly upgrade to last year’s Z9 Lite.

The iQOO Z9 Lite, launched at ₹10,499, featured a Dimensity 6300 chipset, 90Hz 720p display, eMMC storage, 50MP dual cameras, and 15W charging. It also came with IP64 rating, a 5,000 mAh battery, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and ran on Funtouch OS 14.

Now, the Z10 Lite is expected to carry forward this formula, but with some key upgrades. One upgrade could be a 1080p display, but don’t take our word for it. iQOO may also switch to UFS storage.

Official specs and launch date are yet to be confirmed, but it’s clear that iQOO is aggressively targeting the sub-₹11K segment. Whether it can stand out in a crowded market will depend on the final feature set. What are your expectations from the iQOO Z10 Lite? Let us know below.
