Announcement. Vivo iQOO Z3 5G based on Snapdragon 768G

Vivo has announced at home inChina smartphone Vivo iQOO Z3. Formally, this is the second smartphone based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G chipset. In fact, the first was the Redmi K30 5G Extreme Edition announced almost a year ago. I'm not sure if anyone outside of China has seen this smartphone live.

Reliable performance informationI don't have a chipset. But since Snapdragon 768G is a light modification of the 2019 Snapdragon 765G, so we expect around 350 thousand AnTuTu points. Not bad performance for an inexpensive mid-range smartphone, and even with support for 5G networks.

There is a lot of memory, 6 or 8 GB of RAM, 128 or 256 GB of permanent UFS 2.2. There is support for memory cards.

The screen, oddly enough, with an old-fashioned teardropneckline. However, I am ready to forgive such a trifle for a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The diagonal is large, 6.58 ″. high resolution, 1080 × 2408 (401 ppi). Matrix - IPS.

Typically a medium-sized battery, 4400 mAh. Fast charging, 55 W.

Front camera 16 MP. At the back is a trio of 64 + 8 + 2 MP from the main module, wide-angle and macro.

Apparently, there is no NFC module. LTE frequencies are not very suitable for us, there is neither the seventh nor the twentieth range.

The prices are pretty humane. ¥ 1,699 (₽19,800, $ 260), ¥ 1,799 (₽21,000, $ 276) and ¥ 1999 (₽23300, $ 306) for versions 6 + 128, 8 + 128 and 8 + 256 GB, respectively.

Official appearance outside of China is unlikely. Although on AliExpress, most likely, in a day or two, the Vivo iQOO Z3 will appear.
