The event also brought the arrival of the more affordable iQOO Z6x, which impresses with its 6,000 mAh battery.
iQOO Z6
The Chinese iQOO Z6 is powered by a Snapdragon 778G+ paired with 8GB or 12GB LPDDR5 RAM. Storage is either 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1, but there’s no microSD slot. Looking at the front, we have a 6.64” LCD screen with a Full HD+ resolution, a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and a touch sampling rate of 240 Hz. The panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 100% color gamut and can reach up to 650 nits maximum brightness. The fingerprint scanner is placed on the side, embedded in the power key. There are three cameras on the back – a 64MP primary with OIS and f/1.79 lens, a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro camera. The front has an 8MP sensor and is placed in a teardrop notch. The iQOO Z6 battery has a capacity of 4,500 mAh and it only takes 10 minutes to reach 50% charge with top speeds of 80 W. The phone has an advanced cooling system that promises to reduce the CPU temperature by 13 degrees. This iQOO Z6 for the Chinese market comes with Origin OS Ocean built on top of Android 12. It is available in Gold Orange, Blue and Black colors with prices starting at CNY 1,699 ($250). Sales begin on September 1 at all major online retailers in China.
vivo iQOO Z6x
The Z6x also has a 6nm chipset but this one is from Mediatek – a Dimensity 810. The RAM here is 6GB or 8GB and is of the LPDDR4X type, meaning slightly slower speeds than the Z6. Storage is also a bit slower, being UFS 2.1 but still 128GB or 256GB. The screen is a 6.58” LCD with a teardrop notch for the 8MP f/2.0 camera. The fingerprint scanner is on the side and doubles as a power key. There are two cameras on the back here. The primary has a 50MP sensor and f/1.8 lens on the front, while the secondary is a 2MP macro shooter. The Z6x’s massive battery is limited to relatively slower 44W charging speeds. Colors are again Blue, Black and Orange and prices start at CNY 1,199 (about $175). The iQOO Z6x will be available from September 1. Source (in Chinese)
