iQoo Tipped to Be Working on Smartphone With Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Chip, Could Debut as iQoo Neo 10 Pro

iQoo could be working on a new smartphone to succeed the company’s iQoo Neo 9 Pro model that was launched earlier this year. According to details leaked by a Chinese tipster, the smartphone maker could be equipped with a powerful processor — the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip from Qualcomm that also powers the Vivo sub-brand’s flagship iQoo 12. While the company is yet to announce plans for a new Neo-series handset, other specifications of the purported smartphone, including its display, camera, and fast charging have also been leaked.

Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) leaked details of an unnamed smartphone equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that will sport a 1.5K LPTO AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. The rear panel of the handset is said to be made of glass or leather and it won’t feature a plastic frame.

The leaker also claims that the handset will be equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera and an unspecified secondary camera. It is also claimed to pack a “large” battery with support for 120W fast charging and feature a short-focus fingerprint scanner and an X-axis vibration motor.

While the tipster didn’t mention the name of the purported handset in the original post on Weibo, it was claimed in a response to users that the phone would either be from Realme or from iQoo. The specifications of the handset suggest that it could arrive as the successor to the iQoo Neo 9 Pro, which was unveiled in February.

The company’s recently launched Neo 9 Pro handset is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, paired with up to 12GB of RAM. It sports a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera with a Sony IMX920 sensor, along with an 8-megapixel secondary camera.

It packs a 5,160mAh battery with support for 120W SuperVOOC wired charging. The iQoo Neo 9 Pro has an optical fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication and comes with an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, according to the company.

Moto X50 Ultra, Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, and More Phones Confirmed to Launch With Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC

Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset on Monday, March 18. It is said to be a more affordable version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which has been widely used in numerous flagship-level smartphones since its reveal last year. Following the launch of the latest, artificial intelligence-backed Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, several brands have confirmed the 4nm octa-core chipset for some of their upcoming models. Here are all the phones that are confirmed to get the new SoC.

Moto X50 Ultra

In a Weibo post, Motorola confirmed that the upcoming Moto X50 Ultra will be powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The company has teased this model as an “AI Mobile Phone.” Outside China, this model is said to launch as the Motorola Edge 50 Pro in certain global markets including India. In the US, the phone may be introduced with the moniker Motorola Edge+ (2024).

Meanwhile, the Motorola Edge 50 Pro is confirmed to launch in India with a curved 6.7-inch 1.5K resolution 144Hz display with 2,000nits peak brightness, a 50-megapixel triple rear camera unit, and three colour options.

Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro

Xiaomi also announced in a Weibo post that the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro will launch globally with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. The model is also set to come with the company’s HyperOS user interface. No other details about the handset have been revealed by Xiaomi.

However, a Xiaomi model with the model number 24053PY09I was spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification site. This handset is tipped to launch in India with the moniker Xiaomi 14 Lite and in China as the Xiaomi Civi 4. The company has yet to confirm both these models.

Redmi Note 13 Turbo

Redmi revealed in a Weibo post that an upcoming mid-range smartphone will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The company has not confirmed the name of the model but has teased it with the tag “Redmi New Series” (translated from Chinese). It is expected to be the Redmi Note 13 Turbo, which recently leaked online. This model has been tipped to launch as the Poco F6 outside China.

The Redmi Note 13 Turbo is expected to ship Android 14-based HyperOS. It is said to feature a 6.78-inch 144Hz 1.5K OLED display and a 6,000mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging support.

iQoo Z9 Turbo

In another Weibo post, iQoo stated that the iQoo Z9 series, set to launch in China in April, will come with the newly launched Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. The firm did not list the models expected to be unveiled in this lineup. The base iQoo Z9 5G was recently unveiled in India with a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC. It is, therefore, speculated that a model carrying the moniker iQoo Z9 Turbo, which has been spotted in earlier online leaks, may feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The Turbo model is likely to sport a 1.5K display and carry a 6,000mAh battery.

iQoo Z9 5G India Launch Confirmed via Official Microsite; Design, Key Features Revealed

iQoo Z9 5G will launch in India soon. Design renders of the model have recently surfaced online and it has also been spotted on benchmarking and certification sites that have hinted at some key features of the handset. The phone is said to succeed the iQoo Z8, which was unveiled in China in August 2023. Now the company has confirmed the launch of the iQoo Z9 5G in India, revealed a few important specifications of the upcoming model, and also teased its design and a colourway.

An official microsite for the iQoo Z9 5G has gone live on the iQoo India website confirming the model’s imminent launch in the country. Simultaneously, an Amazon microsite is also now live, which hints at the upcoming handset’s Amazon availability in the country. Both these listings have confirmed a few details about the handset.

The iQoo Z9 5G is seen in a matte green patterned finish with a slightly raised, rectangular, black camera module. It appears to hold two rear camera sensors in two vertically arranged circular cutouts, alongside an elliptical, horizontally placed LED flash unit.

Inscriptions within the camera island suggest that the dual rear camera system sports an aspherical premium lens and comes with optical image stabilisation support (OIS). The phone is confirmed to get a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS support.

In the listings, the company also claims that the iQoo Z9 5G will be the fastest phone in its segment. It is confirmed to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC. The handset was recently spotted on Geekbench with this chipset, where it was listed to have 8GB of RAM and ship with Android 14-based OS. These granular details have not yet been confirmed.

Previous leaks have suggested that the iQoo Z9 5G will carry a 1.5K OLED display and a 6,000mAh battery. An earlier Bluetooth SIG listing also confirmed that it will support Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. A 91Mobiles Hindi report claims that the model will be priced under Rs. 25,000 in India.
