Alleged iQOO Z9 series renders reveal dual cameras and curved edges

HIGHLIGHTS

• The iQOO Z9 series renders show off the rear design of the phones.
• The phones have dual-camera sensors and an LED flash. One phone has the sensors placed in circular modules, while the other phone has square-ish modules.
• The iQOO Z8 succeeded the iQOO Z9 lineup.

After introducing the iQOO 12 and iQOO Neo 9 series, the company looks to be working on the iQOO Z9 lineup. This will succeed the iQOO Z8 lineup and might debut in China first and later expand to more markets. Now, the iQOO Z9 series alleged renders have surfaced on Weibo, courtesy of Fixed Focus Digital.

• We see dual-camera sensors and an LED flash. One phone has the sensors placed in circular modules, while the other phone has square-ish modules.
• We also see ‘OIS’ text engraved beside the camera modules.

• The iQOO Z9 series’ rear panel design has a gradient design. Going by the renders the light shade of pink will turn to aqua-blue when the phone is exposed to light.
• The volume rocker and power button are on the right edge. The latter could work as a fingerprint sensor as well.
• The iQOO Z9 series has a curved back panel, which makes them comfortable to hold.
• That’s pretty much everything we know about the iQOO Z9 at the moment but since they appeared online, we should know more details soon
