iQOO Z10 Turbo Plus Brings 144Hz Valorant Mobile and 8000mAh Battery to the Fight

iQOO is not playing it safe with its upcoming Z10 Turbo Plus. Set to launch on August 7 in China, the device is shaping up to be a disruptive force in mobile gaming. With confirmed support for Valorant Mobile at 144 frames per second and an 8000mAh battery, this phone is clearly engineered for gamers who hate compromises.

At the heart of the Z10 Turbo Plus is the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus chip, built on a cutting-edge 3nm process. Paired with LPDDR5x RAM and a 12-core Immortalis GPU, early benchmarks suggest the device scores over 3.2 million on AnTuTu, placing it among the most powerful smartphones in its class. iQOO is also integrating a large vapor chamber cooling system to keep performance consistent under load.

Other expected features include a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, Android 15, and a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP Sony sensor. If the specs hold true, iQOO is about to make a bold statement in the premium midrange segment one that could force competitors to rethink their strategy fast.
