Vivo has a new iQOO phone waiting in pipeline to go official in China. The model number of the phone is Vivo V1936AL. It seems to be a new variant of the recently launched Vivo iQOO Neo 855 phone that has a model number of V1936A/L. The iQOO Neo 855 is powered by Snapdragon 855 chipset. Yesterday, the Master Lu benchmarks listing of the Vivo V1936AL had appeared to reveal that it will be driven by Snapdragon 855+ chipset. Today, a listing of the Vivo V1936AL phone has been spotted on Google’s Android Enterprise site. The new listing has revealed few more details of the phone.

The Android Enterprise listing of the Vivo V1936AL has revealed that it features a 6.4-inch display with a waterdrop notch. It has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The handset is loaded with Android 9 Pie OS. There is no support for NFC on the device. Like all the other iQOO phones, the Vivo V1936AL could be coming with an in-display fingerprint reader.

The Master Lu benchmarks listing had confirmed that the display of the phone supports full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. It further revealed that the 8 GB RAM variant of the phone will be equipped with 128 GB of native storage. The 3C certification of the phone had revealed that it may ship with a 33W fast charger.

The SD855 powered Vivo iQOO Neo was dubbed as iQOO Neo 855. Probably, its Snapdragon 855+ edition could be branded as iQOO Neo 855+. The iQOO Neo 855 is available in multiple variants of up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. It remains to be seen how Vivo will be pricing the Vivo V1936AL phone in China since it is already selling the Snapdragon 855+ iQOO Pro in the country. Hopefully, the entire specifications of the phone will be revealed through its TENAA listing. It may go official in the coming month.

Vivo’s iQOO series offers extremely great value for money to users in China. And it looks like a new model, Vivo V1936AL, will soon join the iQOO family as it has just passed through the TENAA certification. Considering its model number, it looks like a variant of the Vivo iQOO Neo 855.

According to TENAA, the Vivo V1936AL will come with a 6.38-inch waterdrop display with a battery capacity of 4420mAh. The dimensions will be  159.53 × 75.23 × 8.13mm, making it pretty thin. However, just like the iQOO Neo 855, the triple cameras on this model will protrude quite significantly. The certification was obtained by the purple color model but more color options are likely to be available at the time of its launch.

Unfortunately, that’s all we know about the Vivo V1936AL. TENAA is yet to upload the complete specifications of the device. Given how the size and dimensions of the new model are exactly the same as the Neo 855, it’s likely going to be launched as its variant.

The Vivo iQOO Neo 855 was announced back in October at an affordable price tag of 1998 yuan ($283) for its 6GB + 64GB variant. The phone has a special limited edition as well in China called the Vivo iQOO Neo 855 ‘Flying Horse of Gansu’ edition.

Vivo recently expanded its iQOO lineup in China with the new iQOO Neo 855 model. The phone comes with a powerful Snapdragon 855 processor with up to 8GB of RAM and triple cameras at the back. Today, Vivo has just revealed a special edition variant of the device, the iQOO Neo 855 ‘Flying Horse of Gansu’ Edition. If you are someone living in China who’s a big fan of China’s cultural relics, this can be an enticing option.

The Flying Horse of Gansu, also known as the Bronze Running Horse is a Chinese bronze sculpture that has become a big part of China’s cultural heritage. The sculpture portrays a galloping horse treading on a flying swallow. It’s known for its unique and carefully balanced dynamics.

This custom iQOO Neo 855 gift box costs the same as the regular version at ¥2298 (~$325) and comes with a key chain, a power bank as well as a notebook that’s based on the Bronze Galloping Horse’s theme. As for the specifications, they are exactly the same as the regular version.
