Vivo's sub-brand, iQOO, is aimed at the gaming smartphone market, having introduced gaming models such as the iQOO 3 5G. It'll soon be adding to its portfolio of performance-first phones, the iQOO Z1x, scheduled to go official on July 9 at an amazing Vivo price. Ahead of this event, the company has teased many of its core specifications. Here are the details.
iQOO took to Weibo to tease the phone's design in two editions: a faded pink-to-blue and a more vibrant, brighter blue duotone. However, TENNA's database notes that the Vivo iQOO Z1x will also come in black. The shell is 3D curved, soft around the corners, and has an oversized camera setup mounted on it.
Around the front of the new iQOO Z1x, there's a beautiful, edge-to-edge screen with a hole punched in its corner. It's an IPS LCD panel that stretches 6.57" corner-to-corner, delivering an extreme 120Hz refresh rate.
The bezels are lightweight all around, and a side-mounted thumbprint reader is resting on top of the power button. The rear-facing camera uses a 48MP primary camera, while the front-facing camera has a 16MP sensor behind it.
Take a look under the hood to find a massive 5,000 mAh battery that supports 33W fast charge, a Snapdragon 765G processor, up to 8GB of RAM (there's also a 6GB version), and 64GB/128GB/256GB of native storage. The SD675G chipset has a 2.4GHz CPU inside it, and it boots to Android 10, as per a previous TENNA listing. Based on the Geekbench, the IQOO Z1x scored 621 on its single-core and 1842 on its multi-core test.
The 8GB variant is speculated to start from CNY 2,198 (~52,000 PKR), but it remains to be seen if Vivo plans on introducing this phone in Pakistan.
