The video showed that the upcoming iQOO Z7 would feature a waterdrop notch display on the front. And it can be seen that the power and volume keys are placed on the right side of the smartphone. On the back panel, a rectangle camera module can be seen with a dual camera setup with an LED flash. The Norway Blue colour made the device look attractive with changing colours with rounded corners.

The Z7 has an AMOLED display with an integrated fingerprint scanner, unlike the prior model, the iQOO Z6 5G, which had an LCD panel. The display has a peak brightness of 1,300 nits, which is extremely bright, as per the video.

Using the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset, the iQOO Z7 is a high-performance smartphone. An optical image stabilisation (OIS)-capable 64MP main camera with the capability for 30fps 4K video recording is located on the device’s back panel.

A report indicates that the iQOO Z7 will be offered in two storage variants – 6GB+128GB and 8GB+128GB. The upcoming smartphone is expected to be priced at around Rs 17,999 in India, most likely for the base variant. It will likely come in two colour variants, including Pacific Night and Norway Blue colours.

The company’s CEO recently said that the smartphone would be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G SoC and will come equipped with the 44W flash charge technology, which will likely charge the smartphone from 1 per cent to 50 per cent in around 25 minutes. On the other hand, other reports have hinted that the smartphone has a 6.5-inch FHD+ panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, which will house a 16MP selfie camera.
