Well before 2021 could begin, smartphone brands showcased their next-gen fast-charging technologies to the world. Some of the contenders include Xiaomi, realme, OPPO, and its sisters Vivo, iQOO. Among this, iQOO has already confirmed its next smartphone iQOO 7 which going by the number, will be the next flagship from the company. Now, a tipster has details regarding it’s charging and cameras.
According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, iQOO 7 could be the smartphone with the shortest charging time in the first half of 2021. This falls in-line with a 3C certification that reveals a possible 120W charging support for iQOO 7. If we recall, iQOO unveiled world’s first commercially viable 120W Ultra-Fast Charging Technology. This tech can charge a smartphone’s typical 4,000mAh battery in under 15 minutes.
In fact, the iQOO 7’s predecessor, the iQOO 5 series already has 120W charging support along with a 4,000mAh battery. Hence, it will be interesting to see how iQOO manages to improve this on the iQOO 7. We feel that iQOO might hold this crown by increasing the battery size to about 4,200/4,300mAh and achieve similar results.
EDITOR’S PICK: These Vivo and iQOO smartphones will get OriginOS update
Anyway, this is just speculation from our side and we will have to wait for official news. Moving on, the tipster also mentions that iQOO 7’s triple camera will have a 48MP 1/1.2-inch sensor and come with OIS support. That’s surprising considering the predecessors(iQOO 5, 5 Pro) have a 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor.
When asked about the discrepancy between the series, he says that the above is the configuration of the main lens. And the iQOO 7 will be more of a gaming-focussed smartphone. In any case, the iQOO 7 is shaping out to be a device inspired by the upcoming Vivo X60 series of smartphones.
The iQOO 7 is speculated to feature an AMOLED display with a centered punch-hole, Snapdragon 888 SoC, and run iQOO UI inspired by OriginOS based on Android 11 out of the box. It is tipped to launch in mid-January of next year(2021).
