Although the power consumption the new-gen panel has been further reduced, Samsugn has released a new teaser which shows an additional feature that will ensure that the display doesn’t consume too much battery power. That feature is called microprism technology. The microprism technology is similar to the light-condensing principle of car headlights, which can reduce light loss, achieve higher light output efficiency , and lower power consumption under the same brightness conditions.

Recall that the device was also teased to feature LTPO 120Hz refresh rate step-less variable speed technology which can ensure the display meets users’ extreme needs for control and a smooth visual experience according to different user scenarios, while intelligently reducing power to avoid iexcessive power consumption by the display.

There has been a raft of rumors and teasers swirling around the soon-to-be-unveiled iQOO 8 smartphone ahead of its scheduled launch on August 4. Recent teasers and other details sourced about the device show that it will be debuting with some innovative components and features.

Notably, the iQOO 8 will premiere the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus SoC, as the first-ever device powered by the new chipset. The iQOO 8 still has some features that have not been captured in the teasers and leaks. We expect some of these details to become public as we inch closer to the August 4 date of its launch.

However, a teaser from iQOO has indicated a possible Flash Charging capability for the upcoming smartphone. The teaser showed a new FlashCharge sign, which close watchers have interpreted to mean a possible fast-charging model for the smartphone. In fact, it has even been rumored that the device is going to pack 160W charging on its battery. As per the speculation, we know that 160W charging has been tested successfully in some devices. Indeed, Xiaomi has also demonstrated 200W fast charging on a 4,000mAh-rated battery on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro (both wired charging and wireless at 120W).

The Infinix Concept Phone 2021 has also been put through the paces for 160W charging on its 4,000mAh battery. The test on the Infinix Concept Phone 2021 showed that a full charge could be accomplished for the device in under 10 minutes. Therefore, there could be some substance in the speculation regarding fast charging for the iQOO 8 smartphones. However, it has to be stated that there had not been any official or definitive statement from iQOO on the authenticity of the FlashCharging status for the iQOO 8.

As we inch closer to the August 4 launch of the iQOO 8, we’ll keep you in the loop on any further leaks or teasers that may come from iQOO. There are still some loose details to tie up for the device.
