In an effort to expand its mid-range smartphone lineup, iQOO has launched two new smartphones named the iQOO Z10 Turbo and Z10 Turbo Pro in China.

iQOO Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro – Key Features

Both models feature a 144Hz “Optical Eye Protection” display, offering smooth visuals and better eye comfort. iQOO is using TCL’s latest C9+ luminous material, making the screens super bright up to 2000 nits across the whole screen and a peak of 5500 nits in specific spots.

To make viewing easier on the eyes, the screens support 4320Hz PWM dimming and full-brightness DC dimming. They also come with SGS certifications for low blue light and low flicker. The Z10 Turbo Pro goes a step further by adding “Diamond Shield” glass, which boosts drop resistance by 150%. It can survive drops onto steel plates from heights of up to 1.2 meters and holds up well against heavy rain exposure.
