Let’s be real—everyone wants to stand out today. Whether it's on Instagram, YouTube, or a late-night reel posted just for fun, the urge to create something unique and build a personal identity is stronger than ever. And thanks to social media, turning that creative itch into something real has never been easier.

Whether you’re a student, working professional, small business owner, or just someone who wants to experiment with videos and storytelling, content creation is no longer limited to the pros. But here’s the catch: most people don’t know where or how to begin. The good news? You don’t need a fancy setup—just a solid phone with the right tools. And that’s exactly where the iQOO Z10R steps in.

This smartphone is stacked with features that make it a perfect companion for anyone looking to start their content journey—be it reels, vlogs, tutorials, or street photography. So, let’s break it down.

Create Like a Pro with This Camera Setup

You’ve probably heard this before, but it’s worth repeating—a good camera can make or break your content. And when we tried the Z10R’s camera system, it felt like we had a mini pro rig in our hands.

The phone comes with a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary camera with OIS, and it really shines when it comes to both day and night photography. We shot city streets, plants, and buildings—every detail popped. The large 1.6 μm pixels (thanks to 4-in-1 pixel binning) help deliver brighter images, especially in low-light situations.

Making videos? The Z10R has you covered there too. It offers both OIS and EIS, so even if your hand isn’t the steadiest, your footage won’t look like an earthquake hit it. We recorded a quick dance video in the rain (because why not?), and the 4K HDR output came out crisp and smooth—day or night.

 Supernight mode

There’s also a 2MP bokeh camera and multi-focus portrait mode, giving you those soft, dreamy background blurs that scream “cinematic vibes.” We even tested the Underwater Mode inside an aquarium, and it felt like we were capturing a different world.

Selfies and Vlogs? Say Hello to the 32MP Front Camera

If you’re into vlogging or love capturing selfies on the go, the 32MP 4K selfie camera won’t disappoint. From home to the metro station, it managed solid detail, smooth lighting, and stable video—no janky exposure or dull colours.

Enhance

The AI face correction works subtly to smooth out features without overdoing it, and the 50mm portrait effect gives your front cam shots a very DSLR-like touch. Whether it’s a solo snap or a group photo, this camera delivers consistently natural results with great skin tones and definition.

AI Erase

Bonus? The Studio AURA Light really impressed us during night shoots. It acts like a mini ring light built into the phone and helps balance skin tones and reduce harsh shadows. Night selfies and late-night vlogs looked clear, bright, and super natural.

Watch and Edit on India’s Slimmest Quad-Curved Display

So your content is recorded—but how does it look on screen?

This is where the 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED display steps in. It's the slimmest in India, and trust us, it looks and feels premium. Whether you’re previewing content, watching videos, or editing clips, the colours are vibrant and the motion is buttery smooth thanks to the 120 Hz refresh rate.

With FHD+ resolution and 1800 nits of peak brightness, it holds up great even under direct sunlight. Plus, the SGS-certified low blue light feature is a major win for long usage—it’s easy on the eyes even after hours of scrolling, editing, or bingeing.

Designed to Stand Out—And Built to Survive

Let’s talk about design. The Aquamarine variant we tested looks stunning. Inspired by ocean waves, the back has a unique texture that feels smooth and premium. The curved micro-edges make it feel slim and high-end—and it really is, measuring just 7.39 mm thin and weighing 183.5 g. It’s lightweight, comfortable in hand, and doesn’t bulk up your pocket.

And yes, it’s tough too. With SGS five-star drop resistance, military-grade shock protection, and Diamond Shield glass, this thing can take a hit. We dropped it (accidentally… kind of) and saw no damage. It’s also IP68/IP69/IP6X rated, so it’s waterproof, dustproof, and ready for unpredictable weather or a dusty shoot location.

Performance That Matches Your Grind

Under the hood, the Z10R runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, built on a TSMC 4nm process, which means it’s not just powerful, it’s also efficient. We played games, edited 4K videos, and ran multiple apps and never experienced lag or slowdowns.

Our test device had 12GB RAM, and even with 30+ apps open in the background, it stayed super responsive. If gaming content is your thing, you’ll love the Ultra Game Mode, AI voice changer, and game sound enhancer—which let you tweak sound profiles for different gaming scenarios.

The heat dissipation tech works well too. We streamed a long live session and did back-to-back video edits, but the phone didn’t overheat or throttle.

Stay Connected, Wherever You Are

Whether you’re uploading a reel from a remote location or going live in the middle of nowhere, a strong network is essential. The 360º antenna setup on the iQOO Z10R helps minimise network dead zones, while the Signal Bridge Technology improves reception in low-frequency areas. And with AI Quick Network Selection, the phone intelligently switches to the best available network.

Also, the dual stereo speakers add depth to your content playback. Rich bass, clear vocals, and a 3D-like feel make it a treat to watch your own creations or binge your favourite creators.

Power That Lasts—Seriously

The 5700mAh battery is another big plus. We shot 5–7-minute videos, scrolled endlessly on Insta, did some heavy editing, and even played a few matches of BGMI—still had juice left at the end of the day.

It supports 44W FlashCharge, and we clocked 0–50% in just about 30 minutes. Perfect when you’re rushing out and need a quick top-up before your next shoot.

Smart Tools to Boost Your Workflow

The AI Note Assist is pretty handy for script writers. It helped structure content, offered summaries, and even translated where needed. Features like AI transcription, screen translation, and Circle to Search make research, writing, and organising content feel super smooth.

And with up to 256GB of internal storage, you won’t be constantly cleaning up your phone to make space.

Final Thoughts: Should You Buy It?

If you're serious about content creation—or just exploring your creative side—the iQOO Z10R feels like it was designed with you in mind. It's got the tools, the looks, and the muscle to support everything from spontaneous reels to long-form YouTube videos.

The camera system is solid, the display is a visual treat, performance is top-tier, and the design is sleek without compromising durability. Basically, it's a no-brainer for young creators who want to level up their content without investing in a full camera setup.

Final Verdict: With its professional-grade camera system, stunning display, reliable performance, and a price tag starting at just ₹17,499, the iQOO Z10R — available in 6GB+128GB, 8GB+128GB, and 8GB+256GB variants — is a creative toolkit in your pocket, tailored to suit different user needs and budgets.
