New iQOO Z6 model reportedly in development, with 80W fast charging

Sean — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 09:34:19 +0000

A new report has revealed that iQOO is planning on launching a new Z6 model. Apparently, this upcoming device will feature certain improvements over the original Z6 smartphone, especially in terms of fast charging rate.

According to a CNMO report, the Chinese smartphone maker is planning on launching a new configuration of the iQOO Z6 model. In other words, it is still unclear if the new smartphone is a new Z6 series model or just a new refreshed version of the base Z6 phone. For those unaware, the older Z6 model that launched earlier this year featured 44W fast charging support and a 6.44 inch AMOLED display.

But as per the report, the new Z6 model will feature a higher 80W fast charging support. Unfortunately, the company will reportedly downgrade the display to an LCD panel, but with a higher 120Hz refresh rate. Apart from this, the new rumor also states that the handset will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series mobile chipset. Notably, the original iQOO Z6 model featured the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor that was paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

So we can also expect this new Z6 model to feature similar RAM and internal storage configurations. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report at the moment, so take this news with a pinch of salt. This was all the information we have as of right now, so stick around for more updates regarding this device.

Samsung Galaxy M33 5G

While Chinese brands do have a strong hold in the segment, Samsung also has a diverse portfolio of mid range handsets from its Galaxy M series. The Galaxy M33 5G arrives with the company’s proprietary Exynos 1280 SoC and is powered by a massive 6,000mAh battery pack that supports 25W fast charging.

Battery life is definitely a strong suit of this model, with the phone also being one of the more affordable phones on this list.

iQOO Z6 5G

In this price range, the Snapdragon 695 SoC is a popular chipset with brands. The iQOO Z6 5G is also one such models that features this processor. It packs a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 18W fast charging. The device sports a 6.58 inch LCD panel that has a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution like the other models in this list. Interestingly, it is by far one of the cheapest entries as well with its price starting from 15,499 INR on Amazon for its 4GB + 128GB option.

The 8GB RAM variant goes up to about 17,999 INR, but that is still quite the value for a mid range handset. Other features include, a 50 megapixel triple camera setup on the rear, Android 12 OS, 5 layer liquid cooling for improved thermal management, which helps makes the mobile gaming experience better. Notably, the iQOO Z6 is also a rebranded Vivo T1 that has a similar price tag, so you can also check out the other model as well if you prefer FunTouch OS.

Moto G71 5G

Despite having an unsteady footing over the last couple of years, Motorola has managed to carve its own space in the smartphone market again. Its mid range handset portfolio has seen success in certain regions including India, with the Moto G series still being a popular choice for users looking for a new stock Android experience. Under the hood, the Moto G71 is equipped with a Snapdragon 695 SoC and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 33W fast charging.

On the front, it sports a 6.4 inch display that has a FHD+ AMOLED panel, but unfortunately, it only supports standard 60Hz refresh rate. So, this model isn’t as great for gaming, but it still offers a solid Android experience. Other features include a 50 megapixel triple camera setup, support for 13 5G bands, Dolby Atmos audio, and more. Interestingly, Motorola also has another new offering within this price segment.

The Moto G82 is sort of a successor or refreshed version of the G71 and it is currently available for purchase in the region for a price tag of around 19,999 INR. At the moment, it is priced at 21,499 INR, but deals help bring its price down. Under the hood, the smartphone is practically the same as the Moto G71. However, one major change is the 6.6 inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution and support for a 120Hz refresh rate, which is an improvement over the 60Hz refresh rate from the G71.

Jeet — Wed, 27 Apr 2022 07:44:23 +0000

Along with the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G smartphone, the Vivo-backed smartphone manufacturer also launched the 4G-only iQOO Z6 in the Indian market.

The phone is similar to the Z6 Pro 5G in terms of design but differs a lot in terms of specifications. The company is touting this new budget smartphone as India’s fastest charging phone with an AMOLED display in this price range.

It comes with a 6.44-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ screen resolution of 2408 x 1080 pixels and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. It also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor for added security.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor. The phone comes in three memory configurations to choose from — 4GB RAM, 6GB RAM, and 8GB RAM, along with support for virtual RAM for up to 4GB. All three models come with 128GB of internal storage.

In the camera department, the smartphone features a triple-camera setup on the back which consists of a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel bokeh sensor. On the front side, there’s a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

It is running the Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own FunTouch OS 12 on top. The device is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and comes with support for 44W fast charging.

The iQOO Z6 smartphone is being offered in two color options in the Indian market — Raven Black and Lumina Blue. The base model with 4GB RAM is priced at ₹14,499 (~$189), the 6GB RAM model costs ₹15,999 (~$209), and the top-end model with 8GB RAM is priced at ₹16,999 (~$222).

iQOO Community forum to launch soon for its increasing userbase

Pranav Sawant — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 15:33:48 +0000

A community forum is a great way to send out official announcements and updates for a brand’s userbase. Xiaomi, Realme, and OnePlus are some of the brands whose community forums are widely active across the world. Now, Vivo’s iQOO is touted to launch its very own community forum with a release in the pipeline.

As per 91Mobiles, iQOO will soon launch its community forum for its userbase. This forum will be handled by the company making all the announcements in the forum official. There’s no detail as to when we will see the forum getting launched, however, the release is expected to be soon.

iQOO has done quite well with its recent smartphones. The iQOO 7, which arrived in the eye-pleasing BMW edition did cater to the younger audience. The company continued it with the iQOO 8 and 9 series. In India, iQOO has now stepped into the entry-level market with the release of the iQOO Z6 5G series.

In addition to this, a recent piece of news revealed a 4G model of the Z6, which could possibly be even cheaper than the 5G model. With these many devices, iQOO userbase appears to be growing at a good pace. That being said, having a community makes absolute sense.

At the moment, iQOO has its Z6 Pro 5G’s release in the pipeline. The phone will go official on April 27 and will arrive under Rs. 25,000.

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.

The publication reveals that the smartphone will go official on March 16, as tipped earlier. It will be sold via the Amazon India website thereafter.

The key specs of the iQOO Z6 5G were teased by the company. The smartphone will come with a 120Hz FHD+ display and will be powered by the Snapdragon 695 SoC.
