iQOO Z9 5G hit the market a while ago with the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset and a Sony IMX882 sensor. Now, its “Turbo” variant, the iQOO Z9 Turbo has gone official in China with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, 80W fast charging, and more. So, let’s talk about the specs, features, and expected price of the iQOO Z9 Turbo in this article!
iQOO Z9 Turbo Overview
Design and Display
Starting with the design, the iQOO Z9 Turbo takes some cues from iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro. As such, you get an identical camera module and a flat middle frame, likely plastic. Talking of the display, it boasts a 6.78-inch TCL C8 AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hzz refresh rate. This hole-punch screen also supports 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and a local peak brightness of 4500nits.
Performance
Moving on, we have some leads on the performance side of things. This phone is equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. Which comes in a similar architecture to the highest-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, giving close competition to last year’s top-gun 8 Gen 2.
Other than that, the iQOO Z9 Turbo comes with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and a UFS 4.0 storage of 512GB. Moreover, booting the smartphone is Origin OS 4 built on top of Android 14. It is sure to change into FunTouchOS for the global market.
