Earlier this month, Vivo launched its sub-brand named iQOO, which is aiming to sell premium flagship smartphones. Debunking the rumors that the company’s first device will be a foldable smartphone, Vivo recently showcased the upcoming IQOO smartphone during a live television broadcast.
Later, the company also revealed the key specifications of the upcoming smartphone through a photo shared on its official Weibo account. Most recently, the company confirmed that it is holding a launch event on 1st March in China to launch the first iQOO smartphone.
Now, just a few days before the official launch of the unnamed smartphone, the company has shared an image which shows the smartphone in two colors — Blue and Red, with a unique pattern on the back. As expected from the previous tease, the new image confirms that the phone indeed features a triple-camera setup on the back.
The company has already confirmed that the iQOO smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest — Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor, manufactured using the 7nm process. The top-end model of the phone will pack 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
The phone is also confirmed to come with the sixth-generation in-display fingerprint sensor. The company has not revealed what’s new in this sixth-generation technology but it looks like we’ll get to know more about it soon. It could cover most of the bottom part of the display and offer faster authentication and better security.
The upcoming iQOO smartphone is also confirmed to come with Super HDR display but the screen size of the phone still remains a mystery. However, we expect it to come with a 6.41-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ screen resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio.
As for the camera configuration, it could pack a 13MP rear camera with LED flash along with a 12MP secondary camera, and a 2MP tertiary camera sensor. On the front side, it could come equipped with a 12-megapixel snapper for taking selfies.
Further, the company has already confirmed that the smartphone will feature NFC as well as USB Type-C port for connectivity. The device will be powered by a 4,000mAh battery with 44W fast charging support. There’s also something called ‘4D Shock’ which seems to be a gaming-related feature.
The first iQOO smartphone is slated to go official on 1st March in China. To know about the phone’s pricing and availability information, we’ll have to wait for the official launch event to take place later this week.
