iQOO Z10 Lite Unboxing & First Look: A budget phone that looks bougie!

The iQOO Z10 Lite is here to shake up the entry segment with military-grade build, a massive battery, and a clean, modern design. Starting at ₹9,999, it might be the budget beast to beat.

iQOO Z10 Lite Unboxing & First Look: A budget phone that looks bougie!

iQOO is swinging hard at the budget segment with the Z10 Lite, and from what we’ve seen, it’s anything but “entry-level.” We got our hands on the Cyber Green variant ahead of launch, and let’s just say—it’s got the kind of design polish and box presence that punches well above its price.

Classic iQOO packaging

First impressions start with the packaging. The Z10 Lite comes in a matte black box with clean branding—nothing flashy, just slick. Pop the lid and you’re greeted with a clear silicone case, a SIM ejector tool, and your paperwork. Underneath sits the main attraction: the phone, all wrapped up and showing off key specs. Below that, you’ll find a USB-C charging cable and a chunky fast-charging brick. Props to iQOO for not skipping out on essentials—even at this price.

Cyber Green steals the show

Let’s talk about the colour. The Cyber Green finish? Gorgeous. It’s got this subtle shimmer that plays with light beautifully, without going overboard. The back is polycarbonate, but the matte treatment makes it feel anything but cheap. It resists smudges decently, and the dual-ring camera module adds a modern, minimalist flair.

The Z10 Lite isn’t playing around when it comes to durability or battery life. With an IP64 rating and military-grade toughness, this phone is built to shrug off dust, splashes, and the occasional drop.

Powering it all is a beefy 6000mAh battery that just keeps going—and yes, 15W fast charging is onboard when it finally needs juice. The display’s also had a glow-up: it’s a big 6.74-inch HD+ panel with a smoother 90Hz refresh rate and a sharper, brighter visual punch than the last-gen model.

The phone’s flat-edged design, gentle curves, and lightweight build make it super comfortable to hold. Button placement is perfect for one-handed use, and yes, it still rocks a headphone jack—a rare find these days.

Pricing and availability: Serious value

The iQOO Z10 Lite is coming in hot with three variants: ₹9,999 for 4GB/128GB, ₹10,999 for 6GB/128GB, and ₹12,999 for 8GB/256GB. You’ll find it on sale starting June 25 via the iQOO e-store and Amazon, in two colours—Cyber Green and Titanium Blue.

At under ₹10K, the Z10 Lite seems to be a total killer package. The design is clean, the colourway is eye-catching, and the unboxing experience is actually kind of fun. It looks and feels like a phone that should cost more, and we’re excited to see how it performs in real-world tests. Stay tuned.
