The company has released a teaser poster related to the upcoming iQOO smartphone, which confirms that the device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 octa-core chipset, coupled with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
During the brief appearance of the smartphone during NBA All-Star Weekend, it was confirmed that the handset will feature a triple-camera setup on the back. The phone will come with Super HDR display but the size of the screen is not yet known.
Further, the teaser image confirms that the device will be powered by a 4,000mAh battery and the number ’44’ suggests that it could support 44W fast charging.
