Realme 15 Pro Plus Launch Confirmed: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 50MP Triple Cameras

Realme 15 Pro Plus India Launch: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 7,000 mAh Battery, ₹28,999 Starting Price I still remember standing in a small mobile shop in Connaught Place five years ago, holding my first Realme phone. The device was surprisingly snappy, yet affordable - an unusual combination at the time. It felt like Realme had cracked the code for Indian buyers seeking high performance without spending a fortune. Today, the launch of the Realme 15 Pro Plus promises to revisit that philosophy, but with a far more ambitious approach. This article evaluates whether Realme’s latest midrange flagship lives up to the hype, combining real-world hands-on impressions, local insights, and verified specifications. Power Under the Hood: Midrange Performance Redefined The Realme 15 Pro Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, while the standard Realme 15 comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300+ SoC. Both are built on efficient 4nm fabrication processes, promising higher performance and better th...

iQOO Z10 Lite 5G launched in India at Rs 9,999: A stylish budget phone with 50MP Sony camera, Dimensity 6300 chip, 6000mAh battery and more

iQOO Z10 Lite 5G launched in India at Rs 9,999: A stylish budget phone with 50MP Sony camera, Dimensity 6300 chip, 6000mAh battery and more


iQOO Z10 Lite 5G launched in India at Rs 9,999: A stylish budget phone with 50MP Sony camera, Dimensity 6300 chip, 6000mAh battery and more


You might think a sub-₹10K phone would skimp on features - but iQOO’s latest launch might just surprise you.

The new iQOO Z10 Lite 5G, officially launched in India today, is aimed at budget-conscious buyers looking for a stylish design, reliable performance, and long battery life - all without burning a hole in their wallet. 

And what stood out the most? Not just the big battery or the 5G tag - but a 50MP Sony camera, and a surprisingly polished feature set at this price point.

Here’s a closer look at what the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G brings to the table: pricing, offers, specs, and why it could be one of the most interesting budget phones right now.

iQOO Z10 Lite 5G price in India, sale date, and offers


The iQOO Z10 Lite price starts at just ₹9,999 for the 4GB + 128GB variant. 

It also comes in 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB options, priced at ₹10,999 and ₹12,999 respectively.

The phone will go on sale from June 25 on Amazon and iQOO’s official website. 

Early buyers using SBI Bank cards can snag an extra ₹500 discount - bringing effective prices down to ₹9,499, ₹10,499, and ₹12,499, depending on the variant.

Available in two bold colours - Titanium Blue and Cyber Green - the Z10 Lite 5G definitely looks a notch above its price tag.

iQOO Z10 Lite 5G specs and features

Display and design


You might expect basic displays at this price - but iQOO packs in a 6.74-inch HD+ panel with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate and up to 1,000 nits brightness.

Even more impressive? The phone boasts an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance, SGS five-star anti-fall certification, and MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability. 

That’s serious protection in a phone under ₹10K - a detail most buyers will appreciate.

Performance and storage


Under the hood, the Dimensity 6300 chipset (based on a 6nm process) powers the phone - promising solid 5G performance and efficiency. 

It pairs with up to 8GB of RAM (plus 8GB virtual RAM), and storage goes up to a generous 256GB.

The Z10 Lite runs Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, with iQOO offering 2 years of Android updates and 3 years of security patches - again, rare at this price.

Battery life


What really makes this phone a standout? The massive 6,000mAh battery.

iQOO claims it can deliver up to 70 hours of music playback or 37 hours of talk time on a single charge. 

Plus, the company assures that even after 1,600 charging cycles, the battery should retain 80% capacity - something long-term users will welcome.

Charging is via 15W Type-C fast charging - not blazing fast, but fair for this segment.
Cameras

And then there’s the camera - another surprise.

The iQOO Z10 Lite 5G camera setup includes a 50MP Sony AI main sensor paired with a 2MP bokeh lens. For selfies and video calls, there’s a 5MP front camera.

AI-driven features like AI Erase, AI Photo Enhance, and AI Document Mode further boost everyday camera use - making it feel smarter and more capable than its price tag suggests.

Final thoughts


For a phone priced under ₹10,000, the iQOO Z10 Lite 5G manages to pack in:

A capable Dimensity 6300 chipset

A bright 90Hz display

Surprisingly durable IP64-rated build

A big 6000mAh battery

A 50MP Sony camera

The latest Android 15 out of the box

Budget buyers looking for a future-proof device - with 5G and long battery life - might find this an unexpectedly complete package.

The iQOO Z10 Lite 5G sale starts June 25 - if you're in the market for a stylish phone that punches above its weight, this might be one to watch.

OnePlus Pad 3 Launch Confirmed: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, 3K Display, Big Battery Revealed

OnePlus Pad 3 Launch Confirmed: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, 3K Display, Big Battery Revealed It was during a chaotic airport layover in early July when I first noticed how unwieldy most tablets still feel. A fellow traveler beside me was juggling video calls, PDFs, and spreadsheets on a device that looked cutting-edge but felt clunky. That’s when I remembered OnePlus was preparing to release its newest tablet - the OnePlus Pad 3. I made a mental note: if there was ever a moment a thinner, smarter, AI-enhanced tablet could matter, it was in that busy terminal. Fast forward a few weeks, and OnePlus has confirmed that the Pad 3 will officially go on sale in India this September.  While the announcement might sound like just another product launch in an already crowded market, the Pad 3 stands out - and not just for its specs.  With a blend of power, slim design, and meaningful software improvements, it signals how Android tablets are beginning to seriously challenge the iPad’s long-held...
