Recent reports have revealed that Vivo’s iQOO gaming smartphone wing is gearing up to introduce a new smartphone. Rumors are rife that it could be called iQOO Lite or iQOO Neo Pro and it has a model number of V1936A. A new Weibo post by iQOO teases the arrival of the upcoming iQOO phone. The V1936A smartphone has also been benchmarked on AnTuTu through which its key specs have been leaked.
At the end of the previous month, a Chinese tipster had claimed an iQOO phone with support for 33W fast charging could be arriving in the near future. Next, the Vivo V1936A phone was spotted on the database of China’s 3C authority with a charger that supported up to 33W fast charging. Hence, it is being speculated that the alleged iQOO Lite has V1936A model number.
A Geekbench listing of the Vivo V1936A was spotted last week. It revealed that the Android 9 Pie OS driven phone has Snapdragon 855 chipset and 8 GB of RAM onboard. It had recorded 3516 and 11262 scores respectively in the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench.
Today, the Vivo V1936A iQOO phone has surfaced on AnTuTu. The listing again confirms that the phone has SD855 processor and 8 GB of RAM. It has an internal storage of 256 GB. The display of the phone supports 1080 x 2340 pixels and it is preinstalled with Android 9 Pie OS.
In the CPU, GPU, memory and UX tests of AnTuTu, the new iQOO phone has respectively scored 146,594, 176,913, 93,243 and 60,266. AnTuTu claims that the phone could be equipped with UFS 3.0 storage. It has recorded a remarkable average benchmarking score of 477,016. The score is impressive as it promises to deliver a performance that is similar to Snapdragon 855+ powered Vivo NEX 3 5G and iQOO Pro 5G phones that are leading AnTuTu’s September list of top performing smartphones in China.
The purported iQOO Lite smartphone is expected to arrive with a waterdrop notch enabled OLED display and in-display fingerprint reader. It is expected to house a 4,500mAh battery. Hopefully, the smartphone will be appearing with all its specifications on TENAA in the near future. Now that the company has officially started teasing the smartphone, it may go official by the end of October.
