iQOO Z9 Turbo: What to expect?
DCS did not reveal any other information about the iQOO Z9 Turbo. However, in his previous Weibo posts, he shared leaked specifications of an upcoming iQOO phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. Previous leaks suggested that this device may arrive as an iQOO Neo 9 series phone, but it now appears that this device will break cover as a Z9-series phone.
As per previous leaks, the said device may feature a flat OLED panel of 6.78 inches. The screen may support a 1.5K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and 2160Hz PWM dimming. For security, it will have an in-screen fingerprint scanner. The device is expected to run on OriginOS 4-based Android 14.
The topmost variant of the iQOO Z9 Turbo is expected to feature 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 1 TB of FUS 4.0 storage. The battery size of the device is not known yet, but it is expected to arrive with support for 120W fast charging. The Z9 Turbo may feature a plastic frame and come equipped with a 50-megapixel dual-camera system.

The Z9x is expected to feature the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC. It remains to be seen whether the Z9 Turbo debuts alongside the Z9 and Z9x.
