Last month vivo sub-brand iQOO said that it will
launch its 5G smartphone in Q3 2019, meaning anytime between July and
September. And now, the company has announced that its 5G smartphone - dubbed
iQOO Pro - will arrive in August.
vivo hasn't divulged much about this 5G smartphone
but has shared a poster on Chinese social network Weibo showing the back of the
phone. The image is quite dark but reveals a design similar to the original
iQOO launched back in March. Increasing the exposure of the poster also confirms the triple rear
camera on the iQOO Pro.
The 5G-enabled iQOO Pro is expected to come with the
Snapdragon 855+ SoC and 120W fast charging support while retaining rest of the
specifications of the vivo iQOO. That said, it's currently unclear if the iQOO Pro is the only 5G
smartphone that will be launched by the company next month, because we saw the
iQOO Plus 5G last weekend with Snapdragon 855+, 8GB RAM, and 128GB storage.
It's rumored to cost CNY 4,498 (US$ 655/€ 585) and ship with a 4,500 mAh battery
with 44W fast charging.
More details about these 5G smartphones should
follow soon.
