In the first half of this year, iQOO unveiled the iQOO Z9x, Z9, and Z9 Turbo in China. The Turbo model came equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip and a 6,000mAh battery. In September, the brand announced the Z9 Turbo+ packed with the Dimensity 9300 Plus chip and a bigger 6,400mAh battery in China. A new development reveals that it may soon unveil a new iQOO Z9 Turbo variant.
iQOO Z9 Turbo’s new variant 3C certified
The above screenshot reveals that an upcoming Vivo phone with the model number V2352GA has been approved by China’s 3C authority. Since the existing Z9 Turbo has the model number V2352A, it appears that the V2352GA could be based on the Z9 Turbo.
The new device has been spotted with an 80W charger. With 3C certification under the belt, it seems that the handset may go official later this month in China.
Speaking of iQOO phones, the brand is expected to announce the iQOO Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro by the end of November in China. The Neo 10 and 10 Pro are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the Dimensity 9400 chipsets, respectively. Regarding the upcoming Z9 Turbo variant, it seems likely that it will utilize the same Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip as the Z9 Turbo.
According to a Chinese tipster, the Vivo V235GA phone could be called the iQOO Z9 Turbo Long-Life Version (machine-translated). He revealed in the comments section of the Weibo post that it could be packed with a 6,400mAh battery, which is available inside the Z9 Turbo+ phone. The rest of the specs of the phone are likely to be identical to the regular Z9 Turbo.
To recall, the iQOO Z9 Turbo features a 6.78-inch flat OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It has a 16-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel dual-camera system on the back. The device offers up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It also features a dedicated display for enhanced gaming experience and an in-screen fingerprint sensor.
