Splash resistant

The iQOO Z10 was recently unveiled as a phone with the largest battery in India. Apart from the battery, the iQOO Z10 features a compelling specs sheet, although it has quite a few competitors, namely the recently launched Realme Narzo 80 Pro and Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. So without any delays, let's find out which of these recently launched smartphones offer the best experience.

iQOO Z10 vs Realme Narzo 80 Pro vs Motorola Edge 60 Fusion: Specifications

Design, Build, Display

In terms of design, both the Realme Narzo 80 Pro and Motorola Edge 60 Fusion feature curved displays, while the iQOO Z10 boasts a quad-curved screen, which offers a nice balance between comfort and style. All three phones feature plastic frames and back panels, although the Edge 60 Fusion opts for a leather back.

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, whereas the iQOO Z10 uses SCHOTT Xensation Up glass. On the other hand, the Narzo 80 Pro 5G uses an unnamed glass to protect the screen. All three phones also offer MIL-STD-810H certification for military grade durability, while the Narzo 80 Pro and Edge 60 Fusion also offer comprehensive protection against water.

While all three phones feature 120Hz AMOLED displays, the Realme Narzo 80 Pro boasts a lower resolution. In terms of brightness, all three phones are evenly matched, although we'd say Motorola's Pantone Validated display has an edge for content consumption.

Performance, Battery, Software

In terms of performance, the three phones are very evenly matched, with the iQOO Z10's Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip slightly edging it over the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 on the Narzo 80 Pro and Edge 60 Fusion. However, the difference will likely be negligible, although we haven't tested out the three phones for an in-depth analysis. Finally, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion comes with double the storage on the base variant compared to the iQOO Z10 and Realme Narzo 80 Pro 5G.

While all three smartphones have massive batteries, the iQOO Z10 takes things to a whole new level with its 7,300 mAh cell. Apart from having the largest battery in India, the iQOO Z10 also offers faster charging compared to the Moto Edge 60 Fusion and Realme Narzo 80 Pro. The iQOO Z10 definitely takes the win here!

When it comes to software, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion offers the cleanest experience with little-to-no bloatware. Both Realme UI and Funtouch OS come with their fair share of bloatware, so we'd recommend the Edge 60 Fusion for the best software experience. Motorola also offers better software support in the long run.

Cameras

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion boasts a 50MP Sony LYT-700C primary sensor with OIS and a 13MP ultra-wide lens offering a 120° field of view. Up front, the Edge 60 Fusion opts for a 32MP selfie camera. The Edge 60 Fusion supports 4K video recording on both the front and rear cameras. Additionally, the Edge 60 Fusion's main camera is validated by Pantone.

The Realme Narzo 80 Pro 5G features a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS and a 2MP monochrome sensor. Up front, it opts for a 16MP selfie camera with an f/2.4 aperture. 4K video recording on the Narzo 80 Pro is limited to the main 50MP camera.

The iQOO Z10 boasts a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS and a 2MP bokeh lens. Up front, it features a 32MP selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture. The iQOO Z10 supports 4K video recording on both the front and rear cameras.

While we haven't tested out the cameras on all three phones, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion comes out as the clear winner here. Not only does Motorola offer more versatility with the addition of the ultrawide camera, but it also has a larger primary sensor.

Realme Narzo 80 Pro vs iQOO Z10 vs Motorola Edge 60 Fusion: Conclusion

The iQOO Z10, Realme Narzo 80 Pro 5G, and Motorola Edge 60 Fusion each bring strong features to the table. The iQOO Z10 shines with its massive 7,300 mAh battery and fastest charging, though its software experience is cluttered. The Narzo 80 Pro offers decent performance and display but falls behind in camera versatility and screen resolution.

While all three are evenly matched in performance, the Edge 60 Fusion edges ahead with its refined design, Pantone-validated display, clean software, better long-term updates, and versatile camera setup. Its front and rear 4K recording, ultra-wide lens, and premium glass and leather build give it a flagship-like appeal.
