Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO is gearing to announce the iQOO Z1, world’s first phone with MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ chipset on May 19. However, alleged official renders of the iQOO Z1 have hit the Internet and the latest leaks also reveal the price of the phone along with some key specifications.

The folks over at GizmoChina posted some official-looking renders of the upcoming iQOO Z1 that reveal the phone’s rear panel in all its glory. The design of the phone looks similar to the iQOO Neo3 5G that went official in April.

The leaked pictures showcase the iQOO Z1 in two colours with gradient finish, blue and white. It sports a rectangular camera module with three cameras and an LED flash. The power button doubles up as the fingerprint reader for instant access.
