In January, a couple of new Vivo phones, such as the Vivo V40 SE 5G, Vivo V30 SE, and Vivo Y200e 5G, were spotted in the database of the Bluetooth SIG certification. Now, another set of upcoming Vivo phones has emerged in the Bluetooth SIG’s database. The new certifications reveal the existence of a new iQOO phone as well as a few Vivo phones.

Upcoming Vivo / iQOO phones

The above screenshot reveals the existence of the iQOO Z9 5G and the Vivo T3 5G. Both have been spotted with model numbers I2302 and V2334, respectively. The specifications of these smartphones are not known yet.

The Chinese edition of the iQOO Z9 is expected to feature the Dimensity 8300. However, it is unclear whether the same device will be released in India. The Vivo T3 5G is expected to replace the Snapdragon 695-powered Vivo T2 5G, which debuted in India with a price tag of Rs 18,999 in April last year. The certification reveals that the iQOO Z9 and Vivo T3 will support Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.

Devices bearing model numbers V2332, V2333, and V2350 will have marketing names, such as the Vivo Y03, Vivo Y18, and Vivo Y18e, respectively. The model number V2345 is also associated with the Vivo Y18. All these devices support Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Unfortunately, the rumor mill is yet to leak the specifications of these devices.

Devices that receive Bluetooth SIG certification are known to go official in around one month. Hence, there is a possibility that some of these devices may go official later this month or in March.
