The specifications of the phone are currently under the wraps. However, some of the details of the phone have already appeared in recent reports. The original Vivo iQOO smartphone was powered by 2.84GHz Snapdragon 855. The upcoming iQOO Pro 5G could be fueled by the Snapdragon 855+ that includes a 2.96GHz octa-core processor for better CPU and GPU performance.
Also, it is believed that the Vivo V1916A 5G phone that was recently spotted on the database of China’s 3C authority could be the iQOO Pro 5G. The handset was approved by 3C along with 44W fast charger. Apart from these details, no other specs of the phone are available yet. It may include some specs that are available on the Vivo iQOO smartphone.
A recent leak had revealed that it could be arriving with a 4,500mAh battery, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage and a price tag of 4,498 Yuan (~$647). With this price, it may debut as the cheapest 5G flagship phone in China. The Axon 10 Pro 5G that is now available for purchase in China costs 4,999 Yuan (~$720). Also, the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G that will go on sale in the home market will carry a price tag of 6,199 Yuan (~$892). Readers are advised to digest the pricing info of the iQOO Pro 5G with a grain of salt since there is no concrete evidence to back the claim. The iQOO Pro 5G is expected to go on sale later this month.
