iQOO 7 and new iQOO 7 Legend launched globally


iQOO 7

Vivo is constantly pushing new 5G smartphones and we can say that it has revolutionized its name in recent years. From a company that was associated with expensive smartphones, Vivo managed to penetrate the various market segments. However, one of the best moves made by the company in recent years was the introduction of iQOO. For those unaware, iQOO is Vivo’s gaming / cost-effective flagship sub-brand. It has introduced a multitude of smartphones with intermediary prices and impressive specifications. Most recently, the brand introduced the iQOO 7 featuring impressive specifications and an iconic design in China. Today, it is bringing this smartphone to the global market alongside an unseen iQOO 7 Legend variant. Worth noting, that these devices are different from those released in China.

In simple words, the global iQOO 7 is actually a rebranded iQOO Neo5. It comes with a vertical camera setup and a Snapdragon 870 chipset. The “true” iQOO 7 is reaching global markets as iQOO 7 Legend. As a result, the Legend variant comes with the Snapdragon 888 and design in partnership with BMW M Motorsport.

The handset draws power from a 4,000mAh battery with 66W fast-wired charging.
