Vivo iQOO Z10R Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo iQOO Z10R - another hit not for us

The Chinese company Vivo continues to please its fans with new smartphones with an impressive price-quality ratio. Unfortunately, not all such devices reach the international market. Thus, the extremely inexpensive and at the same time technological hero of today's review will remain available for purchase only in China.

The appearance of the new product resembles that of more expensive analogues. This is due to the thin screen frames around the entire perimeter, and the original design of the photo module block with a large circle of LED flashes, and nice colors of the rear panels. However, the manufacturer had to save even on reducing the cost. Thus, the monoblock is made of plastic, not glass and metal, and moisture protection is limited to a modest IP64 standard. The 6.77-inch AMOLED display has a FullHD+ resolution, which today will definitely not surprise a sophisticated buyer. The image clarity is mediocre for such a diagonal, but the peak brightness can reach 5000 nits, and the smoothness of the displayed image at a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and color calibration, and even an oleophobic coating are not forgotten.

The technical characteristics include the latest MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM and the Mali G615 MC2 video core. Performance of 800 thousand points in the AnTuTu test is enough for the vast majority of games, not to mention the less resource-intensive Android 15 interface. You can even play Zenless Zone Zero and Genshin Impact at medium-high graphics settings. The fresh processor is energy efficient, so from a fairly capacious 5700 mAh battery you can really get about two days of active use of the phablet. At the same time, there is also a fast charge of 44W. There is no slot for MicroSD cards, it is recommended to purchase a variation of the device with 256 GB of ROM, and not with 128 GB.

Photo capabilities are not the strongest side of the device, but the user will not be sad without colorful daytime photos either. The main 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 sensor with hybrid stabilization and a 2-megapixel portrait sensor provide good detail in photos in good lighting, which, however, begins to disappear with the onset of evening. Stereo speakers are present. The sound is not flagship, but loud, even bass is slightly audible. 5G support is available, which cannot be said about NFC contactless payments. But in the Celestial Empire, QR codes are more often used for payment, for its residents such a drawback is not at all critical. There is also no FDD-LTE B7, which is important for 4G Internet in Europe and the CIS. Thus, we have before us a gadget adapted for a certain country, possessing a number of interesting competitive advantages. Whether to take it or not is entirely up to you.
