iQOO is set to grow its popular Z10 series with a new budget-minded member, the Z10 Lite, after the recent Turbo and Turbo Pro debuts. Official listings on Bluetooth SIG and Google Play’s Supported Devices database confirm the Lite’s existence under model number I2409, teasing an imminent launch that will likely mirror the vivo T4 Lite in hardware and design.
History suggests a close kinship: last year’s iQOO Z9 Lite and vivo T3 Lite turned out to be identical phones wearing different badges. Early leaks point to the Z10 Lite/T4 Lite sporting a large 6.74-inch LCD panel with a smooth 90 Hz refresh rate, 720 × 1600 HD+ resolution, and around 570-nit peak brightness—ideal for clear outdoor viewing. Under the hood, a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset is expected, paired with 4 GB, 6 GB, or 8 GB of RAM and expandable storage options up to 256 GB.
Imaging duties will likely fall to a 50 MP Sony main sensor—up from the 13 MP shooter in some vivo Y-series cousins—and a modest 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. Power comes courtesy of a 5,000 mAh battery with 15 W fast charging, promising all-day endurance for casual users. Rumor mills suggest an entry-level price that undercuts many competitors, making the Z10 Lite/T4 Lite a compelling choice in the sub-$180 segment.
Market timing remains under wraps, but certification momentum hints at a June-July rollout in key regions like India, China, and the Philippines. Pricing whispers place the phone around ₹10,500 in India, which could translate to roughly ₱8,500–₱9,500 locally, though exact figures will emerge at launch. With its blend of large screen, 5G connectivity, and dependable battery life, the Z10 Lite aims to carve out a niche for budget-conscious buyers seeking a taste of the Z-series pedigree.
