In the previous week, a mysterious Vivo phone with a V2073A model number was approved by the 3C certification platform of China. The listing revealed that the phone may arrive with support for 55W rapid charging. The rumor mill is of the view that the V2073A could be the upcoming iQOO Z3 smartphone. A tipster from China has shared a few key details of the iQOO Z3.

According to the leakster, the iQOO Z3’s body and middle frame will be made from plastic.  Its appearance could be similar to the predecessor iQOO Z1v that went official in India back in May 2020. However, it is unclear whether the Z3 will sport a display with a top-centered punch-hole. The leakster claims that its screen will support a refresh rate of 144Hz.

The iQOO Z3 may feature the Dimensity 1200 chipset. For photography, it will be equipped with a Sony IMX589 48-megapixel camera. The upcoming iQOO Neo5, which is slated to go official on March 16, is also expected to feature the same primary camera. While the Neo5 will carry support for OIS, the Z3 is unlikely to feature it.

Lastly, the tipster revealed that the iQOO Z3 will be announced by the end of this month. Another phone named the iQOO U3x may launch alongside it. The iQOO U3x is likely to arrive as a cheaper version of the Dimensity 800U powered iQOO U3 handset that debuted back in December 2020.

iQOO is yet to confirm the arrival of the iQOO Z3. It is advisable to wait for further reports to know whether the Z3 and U3x will be launching by March-end.
