A New iQOO Z-Series Phone With Dimensity 7500 Just Appeared on Geekbench

Monday, 06 July 2026 at 08:43

iQOO's Z-series is getting more crowded. A new device with model number I2514 has appeared in Geekbench AI's database, and the chip inside points to something more powerful than anything the Z lineup has offered before.

Summary

Model I2514 on Geekbench AI: The listing confirms a MediaTek MT6881 processor — matching the Dimensity 7500's core configuration exactly.
12GB RAM, Android 16: Confirmed in the listing, with OriginOS 6 expected on top.
Likely the iQOO Z11 Pro: Would sit above the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4-powered iQOO Z11 — but no official name confirmed yet.
Solid on-device AI scores: Quantized AI score of 2,926 suggests fast everyday AI task performance.
Separate from the Z11 Lite: That device (model I2510) already appeared on Geekbench back in May with a Dimensity 6300 — the Z-series is expanding across both ends.

What the Geekbench Listing Tells Us

The MT6881 chip at the heart of this device carries four performance cores running at 2.6GHz and four efficiency cores at 2.0GHz. That architecture maps directly to the Dimensity 7500 — MediaTek's recently announced mid-range chip that positions itself between the Dimensity 7300 series below and the flagship Dimensity 9000 family above.

The Geekbench AI scores give a cleaner picture of what this chip actually delivers in practice. A Single Precision score of 1,174 covers standard AI processing tasks. Half Precision at 1,757 reflects faster inference for lighter models. Quantized at 2,926 is the number that matters most for everyday use — on-device AI tasks like background removal, text summarization, and image enhancement run in quantized form, and the Dimensity 7500 handles them efficiently at this tier.

Paired with 12GB of RAM, this device should comfortably handle multitasking and sustained AI workloads without memory pressure — a real differentiator in the mid-range segment.

Where It Fits in the Z Lineup

The iQOO Z11 runs a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, which is a capable but clearly mid-tier chip. The Dimensity 7500 in the I2514 is a meaningful step up, suggesting a Pro positioning above the standard Z11. A Z11 Lite already exists on paper at the other end with a Dimensity 6300. iQOO appears to be building out a full three-tier Z11 family — Lite, standard, and Pro — to cover more of the competitive mid-range segment before the Z12 generation arrives.

What We Still Don't Know

The official name hasn't been confirmed. The display, battery, and camera specs are entirely absent from the listing. No pricing signals have surfaced. And while a Geekbench appearance typically means a launch is weeks away rather than months, iQOO hasn't said anything official about this device yet. The iQOO Z11 series has historically launched in India and China around the same window — if the Z11 Pro follows that pattern, a reveal before the end of Q3 2026 would be reasonable.
