iQOO's New Lineup: Multiple New Phones Planned for Q2, with Straight Screens Becoming the Future Trend

Last month, the iQOO Z9 Turbo long-lasting battery edition officially went on sale, attracting significant attention with its starting price of 1899. Recently, leaks about upcoming iQOO phones have fueled anticipation in the market. Digital blogger @DigitalChatStation revealed that iQOO plans to release multiple new products in the second quarter, covering the mid-range and mid-to-high-end markets.

First up is a mid-range model with a massive battery, powered by either the Dimensity 8400 or Snapdragon SM873 (Snapdragon 8s Elite) processor, focusing on ultra-long battery life and excellent performance. Following this, iQOO will launch a mid-to-high-end model equipped with either the Dimensity 9400+ or Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, further strengthening its product lineup. The blogger emphasized that iQOO will continue to popularize large batteries and single-point ultrasonic technology in the first half of the year, with more surprises to come in the second half.

It's speculated that the mid-range model with the Dimensity 8400/Snapdragon SM873 processor will likely belong to the iQOO Z10 Turbo series. The mid-to-high-end model with the Dimensity 9400+/Snapdragon 8 Elite processor is considered a potential candidate for the iQOO Neo10S Pro and Neo10S Pro+.

Previously, @DigitalChatStation revealed that the iQOO Z10 Turbo series will include two models: the iQOO Z10 Turbo and iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro, powered by the Dimensity 8400 and Snapdragon 8s Elite processors, respectively. Both are expected to feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPS eye-protection straight screen, a battery exceeding 7000mAh, a 16MP front camera, and a 50MP IMX882 main rear camera. This series will continue the iQOO Z series' focus on large batteries and mid-range performance.

Both new phones in the iQOO Z10 Turbo series have appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform, further corroborating the leaked information. The iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro (model V2453A), with 12GB of RAM and running Android 15, achieved a single-core score of 1967 and a multi-core score of 5827 on Geekbench 6.1.0 for Android AArch64. This model is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Elite processor.

The Snapdragon 8s Elite processor uses a 1+3+2+2 CPU architecture, similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, with frequencies of 13.21GHz+33.01GHz+22.80GHz+22.02GHz. The large core architecture is X4+A720, and the GPU is Adreno 825. Compared to benchmarks of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (single-core 2200, multi-core 7000), the Snapdragon 8s Elite's scores show it hasn't fully utilized its potential, suggesting room for optimization.

The iQOO Z10 Turbo (model V2452A), also with 12GB of RAM and Android 15, scored 1593 single-core and 6455 multi-core on Geekbench 6.1.0 for Android AArch64, largely confirming the Dimensity 8400 chip.

The currently available iQOO Z9 Turbo features a 6.78-inch 1.5K 144Hz flexible straight screen, a Snapdragon 8s mobile platform, a 16MP front camera, a 50MP OIS main rear camera (LYT-600) + 8MP ultrawide, a 6000mAh battery, and 80W fast charging, starting at 1999. The iQOO Z10 Turbo series is expected to offer significant upgrades in performance and battery life.

Beyond the iQOO Z series, news about the iQOO numbered flagship series has also garnered attention. Recently, iQOO product manager @GoLanV, responding to a question about whether the next-generation Pro version of the numbered flagship would use a straight screen, clearly stated, "All future models will have straight screens," and "Straight-screen flagships are selling incredibly well right now." This indicates that iQOO's future numbered flagship series will fully adopt straight screens, following market trends.

In summary, iQOO will launch multiple new products in Q2, covering various price ranges, with significant improvements in battery life, performance, and screen technology. The company's move towards straight screens is particularly noteworthy. Consumers can expect more surprises and innovations from iQOO. Specific release dates and pricing haven't been announced yet, but interested parties should keep an eye on official announcements. Both the iQOO Z10 Turbo series and the subsequent numbered flagship series are worth anticipating, offering consumers more comprehensive phone choices.
