What we don't like about vivo iQOO Z10r 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Software experience needs refinement, with an outdated UI, some bugs, pre-installed bloatware apps (like the unavoidable virus scanner), and inconsistent refresh rates across apps.
  • Charging speed (44W) is considered slow compared to some competitors in the same price range, taking over an hour for a full charge.
  • Lack of an ultra-wide-angle camera lens, which limits versatility in photography.
  • No proper Always-On Display (AOD) implementation, requiring a tap or movement to check it.
  • Poor haptics due to a basic rotary motor that buzzes loudly.
  • No expandable storage on some variants, meaning users are stuck with the initial choice of storage.
  • Front camera performance is not as good in low-light conditions.

Verdict

The vivo iQOO Z10r 5G (8GB + 256GB) is a sleek mid-range smartphone featuring a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,800 nits. Powered by the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, it offers reliable performance for multitasking and light gaming, supported by a large 5,700mAh battery with 44W FlashCharge and bypass charging capabilities. For photography, it utilizes a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor with OIS and a high-resolution 32MP front camera, both capable of 4K video recording. Key pros include its slim 7.39mm design, premium IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance, and vibrant multimedia experience via stereo speakers. However, notable cons include the lack of an ultra-wide camera, no microSD card slot for expandable storage, and a charging speed that feels slower than some competitors in its price segment.
