The other aspects that are notable include a display with a high-screen space and the power button and volume rocker at the right. Notably, the power button is embedded with a fingerprint sensor too. It is believed that the upcoming smartphone could flaunt an IPS LCD display of 6.57 inches as on the iQOO Neo 3 and support for up various refresh rate options such as 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz.

New Vivo 5G Smartphone Spotted

While we do not know much about the iQOO Z1, an upcoming Vivo smartphone carrying the model number V1986A was certified by China's 3C certification database. This certification listing not only confirms that the smartphone will be 5G-ready but also reveals that there could be support for 44W rapid charging tech.

Though there are several reports regarding the iQOO Z1 including the use of the new MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC, the brand is yet to officially confirm the existence of the smartphone. Also, we can expect it to surface on the TENAA certification listing sometime soon revealing more details regarding the same.
