iQOO Z1 5G With MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC to be Launched May 19


iQOO Z1 5G With MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC to be Launched May 19

By Techtonic group

Vivo has officially announced that the iQOO Z1 5G will be unveiled in China on May 19th. The device will ship with the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC that was announced last week, and will also be the first iQOO device to be powered by a non-Qualcomm processor. The company has also confirmed that the upcoming device will support a 144Hz display and 44W fast-charging.

Not much else is known about the iQOO Z1, but the device (model number V1986) received its 3C certification last week, revealing its 44W (11V x 4A) fast-charging credentials. The 3C certification did not reveal anything else, although rumors still suggested that it might be powered by the Dimensity 1000+. Either way, let's hope that we get a few more details about the device in the days leading up to the launch.

Announced last week as an iterative upgrade over last year's Dimensity 1000 SoC, the 1000+ is based on the same architecture as the original chipset, but with support for displays with up to 144GHz refresh rate. It also offers support for dual-SIM 5G connectivity along with a new 5G UltraSave power-saving technology that the company claims will enhance power efficiency while operating on 5G networks.

At the MediaTek press event last week, iQOO announced its plans to launch a new premium smartphone powered by the new chipset, although, the exact identity of the device was kept under wraps. Either way, we don't know a whole lot about the upcoming device at this point, but will hopefully get more info in the days ahead.
