According to the tipster Panda is Bald, the iQOO Z8 is slated for an early September release in China. Notably, the highest-tier version of the device is expected to provide users with 12 GB of RAM along with 512 GB of internal storage. For reference, the previous iteration, the Z7, which was launched earlier this year in China, offered a maximum configuration of 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.

The tipster also shared key information about the color variants of the Z8. It appears that the phone will come in three shades: black, blue, and Isle of Man (green). The third color variant is expected to replace the orange version that was seen on the Z7 series.

According to other reports, the iQOO Z8 will arrive with a 6.64-inch IPS LCD panel that offers a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. For security, it will have a side-facing fingerprint scanner and it will run on the OriginOS 3.0-based Android 13.

The iQOO Z8 was recently spotted on Geekbench with the Dimensity 8200 chip and 12GB of RAM. It is likely to house a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. For photography, the device will have a 64-megapixel main camera with OIS support. The other specs of the Z8 are yet to be revealed.
