In China, iQOO has released the first smartphone to include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 782G chip. The new Z7 5G in China looks quite different from the one released in India.

The Z7 includes a notch-mounted 16MP front camera and a 6.64-inch FHD+ LCD screen with a 120Hz variable refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 91.06% screen-to-body ratio. In addition to a 64MP main camera, the phone has a 2MP depth sensor. It includes a fingerprint scanner located on the side and a 5000mAh battery that supports 120W rapid charging.

Coming into more details on the processor, the Snapdragon 782G is equipped with a 8-core Kryo CPU with speeds up to 2.7Ghz. It features Qualcomm’s X53 5G Modem with sub-6 GHz Cellular speeds. Detailed specifications are mentioned below:

The iQOO Z7 is available in Space Black, Atomic Blue, and Infinite Orange, and costs 1599 yuan ($232) 1799 yuan ($261), and 1999 yuan ($290), respectively, for the 8+128GB, 8+256GB, and 12+256GB models. In China, sales of the phones will begin on March 24th and are now available for pre-order.
