iQOO seems to be planning to launch a new smartphone in China. The reason behind it is that a mysterious handset with model number V2054A has received approval from the TENAA authority of China. At the same time, a Vivo phone with V2036A bagged certification from the 3C authority of the country.
The TENAA listing of the V2054A phone that
was first spotted by tipster Abhishek Yadav reveals that it carries support for
5G connectivity. The handset measures 164.15 x 75.35 x 8.4mm and it houses a
6.58-inch display. The handset has a rated battery of 4,910mAh capacity, which
indicates a typical size could be 5,000mAh.
The iQOO V0254A smartphone’s TENAA listing
is expected to be soon updated with its entire specs and images. Also, it is
yet to receive certification from the 3C regulatory body of China. Hence, it is
too early to speculate on its specifications and features.
Earlier this week, leakster Mukul Sharma
shared a screengrab of an upcoming Vivo phone for China. The model number of
the device was found to be V2036A. It is yet to get listed at TENAA, but its 3C
appearance has revealed that it is a 4G phone. It appears to be an entry-level
phone since the listing revealed support for 10W charging for it.
In related news, Vivo recently unleashed
its all-new OriginOS UI as a successor to FunTouch OS. Starting from next year,
the OriginOS upgrade will be available for various Vivo and iQOO branded
handsets in China. There is no word yet on its global rollout. It is likely
that the global release of OriginOS may begin a month or two after it arrives
in the home market.
