The iQOO runs on a flagship Snapdragon 855 chipset with an Adreno 640 GPU. The Vivo iQOO is primarily designed with gamers in mind, giving more importance to performance than anything else. The thermal system on this mobile gaming handset has been optimised to ensure the temperature is maintained even under intense gaming.

Vivo’s upcoming gaming handset will also feature a 6.41-inch Super AMOLED display with a maximum resolution setting of 1080*2340 pixels and a sharp density of 402 ppi. The display also boasts an aspect ratio of 19.5:9 with a near bezel-less screen.
