The iQOO Z7 is arriving soon, the vivo brand revealed earlier this year. According to leaksters from China, the series will have a vanilla vivo iQOO Z7 with a Snapdragon 695 chipset and a second variant called vivo iQOO Z7x with a Snapdragon 782.

The Z series is the midrange lineup of the iQOO brand. If the rumor is true and the basic iQOO Z7 really sticks to the Snapdragon 695, it would mean no improvement from the iQOO Z6, at least compared with the global unit.

The Snapdragon 782 slightly better than the Snapdragon 778G+, and in theory, the iQOO Z7x should be better than the iQOO Z6 Pro or the iQOO Z6x. In practice, the CPU frequency and the whole SoC is just small piece of the whole user experience puzzle, and a slight upgrade of the fastest core is unlikely to make huge changes, but perhaps we"ll see more upgrades elsewhere.
