The IQOO Z8 has surfaced in benchmarking platform Geekbench's listing. It appears the Vivo's sub-brand is offering decent upgrades, which shouldn't push the price much higher than the iQOO Z7.

iQOO should launch the successor to the feature-packed iQOO Z7 this month. The iQOO Z8 series smartphones should comprise the entry-level iQOO Z8X and the top-end iQOO Z8. Let's look at the leaked details of the upcoming mid-range Android smartphone from iQOO.

iQOO Z8 Key Specifications Leak Via Geekbench Listing

The iQOO Z8 has surfaced on Geekbench. The listing reveals the upcoming iQOO smartphone is codenamed "V2314A". It has a motherboard codenamed "k689v1_64".

The upcoming iQOO smartphone is powered by an octa-core chipset. The single prime performance core of the chipset is clocked at 3.10GHz. The three performance cores are clocked at 3.00GHz, while the remaining four Efficiency cores are clocked at 2.00GHz.

The abovementioned specifications correlate to the MediaTek Dimensity 8200. This same chipset powers the Redmi K50i.

The capable upper-mid-range chipset in the iQOO Z8 is paired with 11.17 or 12GB of RAM. The iQOO smartphone managed 1269 in single-core tests and 4078 in multi-core tests.

The mystery iQOO smartphone, believed to be the upcoming iQOO Z8, is running Android 13 OS. However, iQOO should slap its own Funtouch OS 13 on top, at the time of the smartphone's launch.

iQOO Z8 Expected Launch, Price, And Availability In India

iQOO launched the iQOO Z7 series earlier this year. The iQOO Z7 and the iQOO Z7X have been available since March 2023. Simply put, these feature-packed midrange Android smartphones aren't even six months old yet.

iQOO appears to be testing the iQOO Z8 series. Hence, it is possible the brand could launch the iQOO Z8 in the fourth quarter of this year. Needless to mention, iQOO should launch the iQOO Z8 series in China, and then gradually release smartphones in different markets, including India.

The iQOO Z7 5G smartphone currently available in India, is priced around the ₹20,000 mark. It packs a MediaTek Dimesnity 920 SoC and up to 8GB of RAM. The iQOO Z8, with a Dimensity 8200 and 12GB RAM could be priced near the ₹25,000 mark.
