The phone features a 120Hz screen refresh rate and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G SoC. There is a waterdrop-style notch at the front and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor as well.

The company tweeted from its India handle to announce the arrival of a new Z-series handset. There's an image with a faint Z in the background, possibly hinting at the arrival of iQoo Z3.
