iQOO is gearing up for a busy launch season with the Z9 Lite 5G arriving in India on July 15th. This budget phone boasts a 50MP Sony sensor, IP64 water resistance, and comes in two colors: Aqua Flow and Coffee Brown. Interestingly, the Z9 Lite appears to be a rebranded version of the already launched Vivo T3 Lite 5G, sharing the same design and SoC.

Meanwhile, leaks (via PassonateGeekz) suggest both iQOO and Vivo are prepping Pro variants of their T3 and Z9 series. The Vivo T3 Pro 5G (model number V2404) is expected to launch first, offering 8GB RAM with either 128GB or 256GB storage in orange or green. The iQOO Z9 Pro 5G (model number I2305) might follow with a single 12GB RAM and 256GB storage option in white or orange.

While neither company has confirmed these devices, a retailer leak suggests an early August launch. Notably, both phones are rumored to be identical except for color options, mirroring the relationship between the T3 Lite and Z9 Lite. This suggests potential rebranding strategies by Vivo and iQOO.

In related news, iQOO is gearing up to launch the Neo 9S Pro+ in China. The brand has revealed several key details about this upcoming device. For starters, it will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset with 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, achieving and AnTuTu score of 2,335,110 points.
