Last month, Vivo’s iQOO launched the iQOO 8 Pro smartphone in China with impressive specs like a 3D Ultrasonic scanner, Snapdragon 888 Plus SoC, and 120W fast charging support. Now, the company is expected to launch the smartphone in the Indian market soon. Today, the iQOO 8 Pro’s Indian has appeared on the Geekbench portal with its key specs.

According to the Geekbench portal, a Vivo phone with model number i2017 and codename – lahaina passed the results. It is believed to be the Indian version of iQOO 8 Pro as the same phone was seen on Google’s Play Console listing recently. Also, the Chinese version of the phone comes with model number Vivo V2141A and is also codenamed ‘lahaina.’

Given that it has the same codename, the main specs of both the Indian and Chinese versions are the same. The Geekbench listing reveals that the iQOO 8 Pro Indian version runs on Android 11 out of the box and is powered by the Snapdragon 888 Plus SoC. It has 8GB of RAM and is expected to have 128GB of base storage configuration. The phone scored 1098 single-core points and 3594 multi-score points on the Geekbench v5.

Apart from this, the Google Play Console listing revealed that it has a QHD+. The screen has a pixel density of 440 PPI. It was also revealed that the phone will feature a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen. The phone will pack a 4,500mAh battery with 120W wired fast charging support and a 50W wireless fast charging support.

The phone is expected to come with a triple rear camera system sporting a 50MP main lens, a 16MP telephoto camera, and a 48MP ultra-wide angle lens. Upfront, it may come with a 16MP selfie camera.

The post iQOO 8 Pro Indian Variant arrives on Geekbench with Snapdragon 888+ SoC appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo only a couple of days back took the wraps of the iQOO 8 series made up of the vanilla iQOO 8 and the iQOO 8 Pro. During the unveiling, the company promoted the iQOO 8 Pro as having a 3D Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The Chinese company didn’t dilate on the scanner but a Weibo video review of the iQOO 8 Pro’s Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner speed has been carried out, giving us a clear view of the biometric area and other features.

First off, the size is now far bigger than others in the market. The iQOO 8 Pro ultrasonic fingerprint scanner occupies a 578 sq. mm area. The speed test also shows that the scanner’s speed should be among the fastest we’ve seen on a smartphone. Also, vivo has now included the ability to read more than one finger.

It is worthy of note that the features included on the iQOO 8 Pro fingerprint scanner were first demoed on the concept vivo APEX back in 2018. While the APEX never made it to final production, it is impressive to see some of the innovative features showcased on the APEX finding their ways to its commercialized products.

Whie the iQOO 8 also packs a Under display fingerprint scanner as well, its scanner is a regular one and not the 3D Ultrasonic scanner onboard the 8 Pro. However, it is still super fast even though it is no as fast as that of the iQOO 8 Pro.

Apart from the speed, the iQOO 8 Pro’s 3D Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is also pretty easy to set up. The phone learns the fingerprint with just a one-second-long press. This is a far greater improvement from current solutions (including rear-mounted fingerprint scanner) where you will need to tap the sensor several times with different part of your fingers so that it stores all the positions the fingerprint is placed on it.

Vivo is yet to release details of the iQOO 8 series launch outside China but we expect the models to hit the global market soon where the Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner will be one of the top features.

The post iQOO 8 Pro 3D Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner speed test video reveals lots of impressive features appeared first on Gizmochina.

The iQOO 8 and iQOO 8 Pro are official. Both phones which were announced today in China boast the best displays in the industry, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888+ processor, and a design that will surely turn heads or even make jaws drop.

iQOO 8 series Design 

The iQOO 8 series have gotten a design refresh while still keeping some features of its predecessors. There are now two devices – a standard model and a pro model. The former has a flat display while the latter has a curved display. However, both have a centered punch hole and triple rear cameras that are arranged in the shape of an L.

iQOO has kept the orange-colored power button from the iQOO 7 and even retained the partnership with BMW for the Legend Edition. There is also a new racing edition with a black carbon fiber finish on the back. However, it is only the iQOO 8 that gets the jaw-dropping electrochromic version that can switch from white to bright orange.

iQOO 8 Specs

The iQOO 8 has a 6.56-inch FHD+ flat display with a centered punch hole that can display up to 1 billion colors. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, a contrast ratio of 6,000,000:1, and a peak brightness of 1200 nits. iQOO says there is an independent display chip that improves the frame rate while lowering power consumption. It also upscales SD content into HDR.

The phone has a Snapdragon 888+ chipset, LPDRR5 RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage. There is a 48MP f/1.79 Sony IMX598 gimbal camera on the back along with a 13MP f/2.2 120° ultrawide angle camera and a 13MP f/2.46 portrait camera. A 16MP camera is in front for selfies and video calls.

The iQOO 8 has a 4350mAh battery capacity. Even though it’s bigger than that of the iQOO 7, iQOO has been able to make the phone lighter by 9.6 grams. There is support for 120W fast wired charging that can fully charge the phone from empty to full in 18 minutes. There is also VC Liquid Cooling for keeping the temperature down when needed.

The new flagship also comes with a dual X-axis motor, an upgraded 4D vibration, and dual pressure-sensitive buttons under the display that allows four-finger operations to be done with just two. There are also improved three-dimensional stereo speakers for a better audio experience.

The iQOO 8 and iQOO 8 Pro both run OriginOS for iQOO, a custom-made version of Vivo’s China-exclusive Android fork. OriginOS for iQOO brings a similar widget-based homescreen interface available on Vivo phones. There is also an AI subtitle feature that should be similar to Live Caption and a feature called Smart Privacy Protection that prevents third-party apps from accessing private information from the clipboard and SMS app

iQOO 8 Pro Specs

The iQOO 8 Pro is the first phone to feature the new Samsung E5 AMOLED display. The 6.78-inch 120Hz LTPO curved panel has a 3200 x 1440 resolution, 10-bit color temperature, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and a contrast ratio of up to 8,000,000:1. iQOO boasts that it has also received 14 DisplayMate A+ certifications. It also features the independent display chip found in the standard model which can convert low-quality SDR content into high-quality HDR.

Just like the standard model, this too comes with a Snapdragon 888+ processor and it is paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The iQOO 8 Pro has three cameras -a 50MP Sony IMX766V f/1.75 1.0µm PTZ camera with a 7P lens, PDAF, and 23mm focal length; a 48MP f/2.2 114° ultrawide angle camera with 6P lens; and a 16MP telephoto camera. The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor.

The iQOO 8 Pro also boasts an ultrasonic 3D fingerprint scanner with a wider sensing area. iQOO says the sensor is super fast and unlocks the device in just 0.2 seconds.

Inside the iQOO 8 Pro is a dual-cell 4500mAh battery. While it has support for 120W fast wired charging like the standard model, it also adds support for 50W wireless fast charging and 10W reverse wireless charging. This makes it the first iQOO phone with support for wireless charging. It is no surprise that iQOO took the chance to announce its own wireless charger which has a vertical design and a built-in cooling fan.
