iQOO could follow the trend of launching 4G & 5G variants of a single phone model: iQOO Z6 4G leaks!

Pranav Sawant — Mon, 18 Apr 2022 14:45:21 +0000

Xiaomi, Realme, and POCO, for some time, have been offering a mix of 4G and 5G variants of a single phone model. Xiaomi started this with the Redmi K30, which was available in 4G as well in 5G variants, Realme followed the suit with Realme 7’s 4G/5G versions, and POCO continued it with the POCO M4 Pro 4G and 5G. Now the latest to hop on the bandwagon is iQOO with its iQOO Z6. A tipster has now hinted that after the iQOO Z6 5G, the iQOO Z6 4G could be the next to enter the budget market.

The tipster Paras Guglani has revealed the moniker – iQOO Z6 4G and has shared the charging speed of the phone. It appears that the device won’t disappoint as it is said to have 44W fast charging support. This is way higher than the iQOO Z6 5G’s modest 18W charging speed.

iQOO Z6 5G

Such betterment of the specs is likely to be seen on the 4G variants of a phone as opposed to the 5G models, mainly because companies save a lot by employing a 4G chipset instead of using 5G counterparts. This time around, iQOO seems to do the same by using some 4G chipset, however, it is unclear at the moment which 4G chipset will the brand use in the upcoming iQOO Z6 4G.

Apart from this, there are no specifications to look at, nor there is any release date as of yet. It is to be noted that this is just a tip and not an official confirmation from the brand. That being said, we recommend our readers take the above information with a grain of salt.
