Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO surprised everyone
by launching a first-ever smartphone powered by Mediatek’s Dimensity 1000+ SoC
with the iQoo Z1. Following this,
various leaks indicated a watered-down variant Z1x could be in the
works. And now, a recent listing on TENAA has revealed key specifications of
the device.
The listing on TENAA shows a device listed
with the model number V2012A. This goes in line with the previous leak which
had the same model number, a few days back. While there is no evidence to back
the claim if the model number will be under the iQoo branding, we can recall a
tip from China. It stated that iQoo Z1x will have a 6.57-inch LCD display. The
same has reflected on the TENAA listing solidifying claims. Other than this, we
can expect the display to be FHD+ and sport a 120Hz refresh rate screen.
Further, the device with the same model
number seems to have a battery capacity of 4,880mAh battery. This further
ascertains the earlier claims that the device will have a 5,000mAh battery. Apart
from this, the database says the Android device will be 5G-ready and support
both SA/NSA. In addition there are LTE and WCDMA bands obviously. The device
will also have Dual SIM functionality with support for eMBB for faster
connectivity and wider coverage.
Measuring in at 164.20 x 76.5 x 9.06mm,
the device seems to be slightly bigger than the Z1 which is understandable
considering a typical 380mAh increase in battery size. The iQoo Z1x’s
specifications have already been leaked. The device is likely to be powered by
Snapdragon 765G 5G SoC and paired with 6/8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal
storage.
Earlier entries on China’s 3C
certification authority also revealed that the device with the same model
number will have support for 33W fast charging. This seems plausible as the
higher sibling iQoo Z1 has slightly higher 44W charging.
While the other details are not known as
of yet, the price, however, is rumored to be very competitive starting at
CNY 1398 (US$ 200). The device is rumoured to be unveiled on July 2nd and let’s see
what iQoo has in store for us this time.
