It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The new chipset has got people excited, not only for its performance gains but other AI smartness that takes a smartphone into another sphere.
The phone comes equipped with a versatile triple rear camera system that consists of a 50MP wide sensor, 50MP ultrawide sensor and a 64MP periscope telephoto sensor. The front of the phone has a 16MP shooter.
iQOO is making some changes to its Funtouch OS UI, reducing the amount of bloatware which should take care of the annoying ads. You get it over Android 14 version and the company is promising three OS updates for the device. The other aspect where iQOO never compromises is the battery, and once again you have a 5000mAh battery that gets you charged up at 120W using the bundled charger.
