Earlier this year, Vivo announced a new sub-brand by the name of “iQOO” soon after which it unveiled a Snapdragon 855-powered gaming smartphone as its first product under the new branding. As it turns out, the company is planning to announce the second iQOO smartphone which will take the name of the IQOO Youth Edition phone.
Posters of the IQOO Youth Edition phone have already popped up on Weibo indicating that there will be a new version of the Vivo iQOO phone. While nothing is clear, it’s expected that the iQOO Youth Edition or iQOO Lite will come in more than one configuration.
One of the posters shared hint that the Vivo iQOO Lite phone will come powered by last year’s flagship Snapdragon 845 processor. This model is slated to launch for 1,998 yuan (approx. Rs 20,000).
Another poster indicates that the iQOO Lite will be powered by a Snapdragon 710 Processor with a reduced price of 1,798 yuan (approx. Rs 18,000). Both models are coupled with 6GB of RAM, 128GB onboard storage and 4,000mAh battery.
It remains to be seen whether Vivo will be releasing more than two processor-based versions of the phone or if one of the posters has been faked.
A new phone with the model number Vivo V1914A has also recently popped up on benchmarking site Geekbench with specifications of the Snapdragon 845-powered versions. The Geekbench listing also confirms 6GB RAM and Android 9 Pie on the device.
