iQOO is set to enhance its lineup with the upcoming iQOO 14 series, introducing advanced features and significant upgrades over its predecessors. Here’s a comprehensive overview based on the latest leaks and industry insights.
Introduction of the iQOO 14 Series
After the release of the iQOO 12 series in late 2023 and the iQOO 13 in October of the same year—without a Pro model—the anticipation has been building for the next iteration. Recent leaks suggest that the iQOO 14 series will not only continue the tradition but also reintroduce a Pro variant.
Transition to Samsung OLED Panels
Insider Smart Pikachu has disclosed that Vivo’s iQOO is planning a significant shift in display technology for the iQOO 14 and 14 Pro models. Unlike the previous models which featured OLED panels from Chinese suppliers BOE and Visionox, the new series will incorporate Samsung OLED panels. This upgrade promises to deliver superior visual quality and enhance the overall user experience.
Display Specifications
Both models in the iQOO 14 series are expected to feature flat display designs. This comes as Samsung is reportedly set to supply various OLED panels to multiple smartphone manufacturers by 2025, including 1.5K resolution OLED LTPO flat displays and more complex 1.5K and 2K resolution LTPO micro-quad-curved screens.
Distinct Features of the Pro Model
A key differentiator in the iQOO 14 series will be the camera technology. The Pro model is rumoured to include a periscope telephoto camera, offering enhanced zoom capabilities that will likely attract photography enthusiasts. This feature sets the Pro model apart from the standard version, which will not include this advanced camera.
Chipset Advancements
The anticipation around the processing power of the iQOO 14 series is also high. Qualcomm is expected to unveil its Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset in October of this year, which is likely to power both the iQOO 14 and 14 Pro models. The integration of this new chipset will potentially boost performance, making the devices more efficient and faster than their predecessors.
With these enhancements, the iQOO 14 series is poised to impact the market significantly, combining high-end technology with innovative features to meet the demands of modern smartphone users.
A recent leak from tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed key details about the battery and charging specifications of the iQOO 14 series, as well as insights into the upcoming Neo lineup, particularly the iQOO Neo 11. According to the leak, the iQOO 14 and 14 Pro may come equipped with a substantial 7,000mAh battery, significantly improving over the already impressive 6,000mAh battery found in the iQOO 13. However, it appears that the charging speeds will remain consistent with those of the previous generation.
Alleged iQOO Neo11:
That’s not all—iQOO is reportedly developing another device featuring an even larger battery. Rumors suggest a massive 7,500mAh battery could power the successor to the Neo 10, a lineup often hailed as flagship killers. This upcoming device might be equipped with MediaTek’s forthcoming Dimensity 9400+ or 9500 chipsets and is expected to support 90W fast charging. If these rumors hold, iQOO could be preparing to introduce some of the largest smartphone battery capacities seen to date.
