You know a brand is feeling confident when it starts building phones to show off what it can do. That’s exactly what iQOO is doing with its new concept device, the iQOO X. The company reportedly showed off the phone internally yesterday, with specs that exist only on paper for now.
The chipset alone tells you this is a look further down the road rather than anything close to shipping. The iQOO X runs on a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen10 Pro, paired with a self-developed e-sports chip called QX.
For what it’s worth, Qualcomm is only just preparing the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro for its next real flagship platform, so a Gen10 Pro chip puts this concept phone several generations into the future.
The iQOO X also packs a 15,000mAh all-solid-state battery, nicknamed the “Blue Ice Battery.” Solid-state batteries with that kind of capacity aren’t something you’ll find in any phone on shelves right now, which is part of the point of a concept device like this.
The display is a 7-inch true full-screen LTPO 6.0 panel with 2K+ resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, backed by a half-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. It also has a 4,800Hz sampling rate for near-instant input, along with AI dynamic partition refresh that allows different parts of the screen to refresh independently.
On the camera side, the setup includes a 200MP Sony main sensor, a 200MP Samsung periscope telephoto lens, and a 50MP Samsung ultra-wide sensor. iQOO also brought physical prototypes to the event for a first look at how the design and structure might actually come together.
iQOO X Price
Usually, brands don’t announce pricing for concept devices, but iQOO went ahead and shared pricing anyway. The base 12GB+512GB model comes in at ¥6,999 (around $1,038), while the 16GB+512GB version steps up to ¥7,399 (about $1,097). A 16GB+1TB model costs ¥7,799 (roughly $1,157), and the top-tier 24GB+1TB configuration tops out at ¥8,599 (close to $1,275).
The device is shown in Black and White colors.
