iQOO is gearing up for a big event in China where the iQOO Neo 8 series and iQOO Pad will be introduced. Ahead of the May 23 event, the company brings some joy to its fans in India with the iQOO Z7s release. The latest smartphone was unveiled today as a decent 5G mid-range phone with the Snapdragon 695 and AMOLED display. It serves as a follow-up to the vanilla iQOO Z7 launched earlier this year. Let’s see what this device has in tow for the mid-range market without further ado.
iQOO Z7s 5G Specifications
The iQOO Z7s packs a 6.38-inch AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution. The panel also has a 90 Hz refresh rate and a built-in fingerprint scanner. As usual in the budget segment, the phone packs a waterdrop notch for the 16 MP selfie camera. It also has a double camera setup with a 64 MP shooter leading the way. The secondary shooter is just a 2 MP unit for depth sensing, but one of the surprising aspects of this phone is that it has Optical Image Stabilization as the primary camera.
