What You Get for the Money — and Whether It Still Makes Sense
The iQOO Z10 Lite 5G features a 6.74-inch 90Hz HD+ LCD display, MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, 6,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging, and a 50MP + 2MP dual rear camera setup. It also carries an IP64 rating and military-grade drop resistance — solid credentials for a budget phone.
iQOO has not revealed the reason behind the hike, but it fits a broader pattern: the iQOO Z10 5G also saw its price increase by 9% in just the past month, suggesting component costs or global supply pressures are squeezing Vivo’s budget lineup across the board.
The ongoing RAM shortage driving up prices globally is likely a contributing factor here too. Before you buy, check out our roundup of the best phones under ₹15,000 on Technosports — alternatives like the Redmi Note 14 SE and Realme 15 Lite are worth a look at the revised price points.
