Chinese smartphone maker Vivo has announced that the independent sub-brand iQOO has just launched the new iQOO 7 series in global markets, starting with India.
Article 7 and official iQOO 7 Legend Global from India
As we discovered a few months ago, the series includes the iQOO 7 and the iQOO 7 Legend, both awarded for their design at the Red Dot of 2021, and the latest 5G flagship smartphones from Vivo that integrate the best hardware specifications in the category.
Let's start with the iQOO 7 Legend that arrives with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G mobile CPU, combined with some improved LPDDR5 RAM for faster sequential read and write speeds, resulting in lightning-fast calling and caching capabilities.
The iQOO 7 is instead equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 and an intelligent display chip, which provides powerful CPU and GPU performance for smoother visual effects.
Both smartphones have V6 UFS 3.1 internal memory, which is enhanced for faster file downloads, copies and installations. Vivo has also incorporated the Extended RAM feature within the iQOO 7 series, meaning 3GB of ROM has been reassigned to be added to the 8GB of RAM, allowing apps to run simultaneously with minimal lag.
The iQOO 7 series is also supported by 66W FlashCharge technology, which allows significantly reduced charging times. While for autonomy, the iQOO 7 Legend is equipped with a 4000 mAh battery and the iQOO 7 is equipped with a 4400 mAh battery, therefore much larger.
In addition, to keep temperatures low, there is an industry-leading liquid cooling system, designed with state-of-the-art materials that effectively dissipate heat through the evaporation and condensation of thermal fluids within an internal vapor chamber. .
This intricate system can counteract intense temperature rises and nullify the increased power consumption that can result from heavy loads, effectively avoiding CPU frequency reduction to maintain consistent performance output. In other words, there will be no more lost frames due to overheating, providing a smoother mobile gaming and smartphone usage experience.
Remaining on the subject of gaming and fluidity, both the iQOO 7 Legend and the iQOO 7 use a screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which can be accompanied by a frequency with a maximum "Instant Touch Sampling Rate" of 1000 Hz and 300 Hz tactile sampling rate using the new Super Touch acceleration function.
The feature allows users to experience an ultra-high refresh rate with enhanced screen touch response, achieving a distinct advantage in terms of fluidity.
In competitive scenarios where every move is crucial to winning, this minimal touch latency can create an edge for users and thus beat opponents with minimal effort.
The iQOO 7 series also sees several cool features such as the Monster Touch, which has been implemented under the screen with dual-control and pressure-sensitive digital buttons. This feature allows you to use two fingers to accomplish what previously needed four fingers, something that comes in very handy in games like Free Fire, Call of Duty, and Genshin.
Finally, for photos, the iQOO 7 series also boasts a powerful triple rear camera setup, with both devices containing a 48MP main camera and a 13MP super wide-angle macro camera. The iQOO 7 is equipped with a 2MP mono camera while the iQOO 7 Legend has an additional hardware advantage with a 13MP portrait lens (50mm equivalent focal aperture).
In terms of stabilization, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is added to the 48MP main camera to greatly improve image capture in Extreme Night Vision, Pro-sport mode and long exposure scenarios.
While Pixel Shift Ultra HD imaging technology is also combined with OIS to greatly improve image detail and quality so that users can capture sharp images during zoom photography, meeting users' comprehensive photography requirements in different scenarios.
Unfortunately, still no info on prices and availability outside India.
