Both models operate on Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15 and are set to receive the OriginOS 6 update. They both feature a robust 50-megapixel primary rear camera and a 32-megapixel front-facing selfie camera. Notably, the Indian variant is slightly more compact, being lighter and thinner than the newer Russian release.

iQOO Z10R 5G: Diving into Specifications
The Russian variant of the iQOO Z10R 5G comes with a refreshed design and a different set of specifications compared to its Indian counterpart. Both phones run on Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 and are slated for the OriginOS 6 update. The new Russian model showcases a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a 1,080×2,392 pixel resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, 387 ppi pixel density, and a peak brightness of 1,300 nits. While the display features are largely similar across both variants, the Indian model boasts an even brighter display with a peak brightness of 1,800 nits.
Under the hood, the iQOO Z10R 5G (Russian variant) is powered by a 4nm octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 7360-Turbo chipset. This is paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a generous 512GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. In contrast, the Indian version is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC.
Both handsets also share the same impressive 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 primary rear camera. However, their secondary camera setups differ. The I2505 model in Russia includes an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, whereas the Indian version offers a 2-megapixel bokeh shooter.
On the front, both iQOO Z10R 5G models come with a 32-megapixel selfie camera. They also diverge in terms of IP ratings for durability. The Russian phone has an IP65 rating, providing decent dust and splash resistance, while the Indian model offers superior protection with IP68 and IP69 ratings against dust and water.
A notable upgrade in the Russian model is its larger 6,500mAh battery, supporting 90W wired fast charging. This is a significant improvement over the 44W charging found in the Indian variant. Dimension-wise, the Russian iQOO Z10R 5G measures 163.76×28×7.59mm and weighs approximately 194g, making it slightly heavier and thicker than its Indian counterpart.
