The iQOO Z8 smartphone, along with the iQOO Z8x, was introduced in China last week, targeting budget-conscious consumers seeking high-performance devices with strong hardware and powerful processors. There are indications that the iQOO Z8 may soon become available in international markets, as it has recently been identified on the Google Play Console.

The iQOO Z8 with model number V2314A has been spotted on the Google Play Console listing. We say it with certainty because the Chinese variant of the device has the same model number. The listing reveals that the device will feature an Android 13-based operating system.

The listing reveals that the global version of the iQOO Z8 will have a Full HD+ display with a resolution of 1080 x 2388 pixels. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 8200 processor, along with the Mali-G610 GPU. It will also be available with 12GB of RAM.

As for the camera, the iQOO Z8 will have two cameras on the back: a 64MP main camera and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, there will be a 16MP front camera that can record 1080p videos. The global iQOO Z8 will also have a 5000mAh battery and support 120W fast charging. It will come with a headphone jack and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Based on the information available, it seems that there won’t be any alterations to the specifications compared to the Chinese version. The only unanswered questions are about the pricing and release date. In China, the iQOO Z8 begins at RMB 1699, which is approximately $235. However, it’s common for global prices to be slightly higher than the Chinese prices. Therefore, it wouldn’t be unexpected if the smartphone is launched at a price point above $250.
