vivo’s iQOO line is expected to get a new
member soon with the upcoming iQOO 3 gaming phone. A recent leak gave us a
brief look at its alleged design and now we get a certification listing on
China’s TENAA alongside a Geekbench test run to clear up most of the specs.
Starting off with the TENAA listing, the
device was spotted with its previously seen V1955A model number. The phone is
listed with a 6.44-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 4 cameras, 128GB and 256GB storage
options and a 4,370mAh battery. The software front is covered by Android 10
while its CPU is stated to come with a frequency of 2.84GHz and 8 cores -
likely part of the Snapdragon 865 chipset. There’s gonna be 6GB, 8GB or 12GB
RAM onboard depending on the version.
The Geekbench listing for the device comes
with a different model number dubbed vivo I1927 which is expected to be the
Indian variant of the IQOO 3. The phone managed 914 points on the single-core
test and 3,217 in the multi-core department. The device is running on an
eight-core processor with a base frequency of 1,8 GHz, but that's because
GeekBench records the speed of the small cores rather than the big ones.
The chipset is dubbed as “kona” which
corresponds to the codename of the Snapdragon 865 in previous listings. We also
see 8GB RAM while Android 10 takes care of the software department.
