iQOO recently finished launching its premium iQOO 11 series and the mid-range iQOO Neo 7 SE in China. Now, it seems the brand has a new budget smartphone in the making. A new iQOO smartphone with model number V2230EA has been spotted on multiple Chinese certification sites, which reveal its specifications and design. Here are the details.
An unknown iQOO smartphone has appeared on China’s TENAA and 3C certification sites with model number V2230EA. The listings reveal the device will be equipped with an LCD and support 18W fast charging. This suggests the smartphone will debut as a budget-friendly offering.
Further, TENAA has also shared live images of the smartphone, giving us a good look at its design. As can be seen in the images, the mysterious iQOO smartphone has a flat back with a large camera island that houses two lenses. The handset has a flat display with a waterdrop notch and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The marketing name of the smartphone is yet to be known, however, rumors in China suggest it will be called the iQOO U6. In addition, the device is said to be priced in the range of 1000-1500 Yuan ($146- $220).
It is expected to debut as the successor to the affordable iQOO U5, which was released back in December 2021. To recall, the handset packs an LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It brings a large 5000mAh battery and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chip. There’s a 50MP main camera and 33W fast charging support.
We should be learning more details about the smartphone in the coming. The device’s marketing name is still anyone’s guess and it is probably a good idea to wait for more information before making any conclusions.
