iQOO 9T w/ Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 now official

vivo’s sub-brand IQOO had launched its iQOO 9 and 9 Pro at the start of the year. But now it adds another model to its lineup with the introduction of the iQOO 9T.

It packs in the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, a 6.78-inch 120Hz display, vivo’s V1+ chip, 5G connectivity, and support for 120W fast charging. The phone comes in either a sleek black colorway (Alpha) or a more sporty BMW M Motorsport theme (Legend).

vivo’s V1+ chip originally made its debut last year with it being part of the vivo X80 and X80 pro. The chip is designed to boost the performance of imaging capabilities, display, and gaming by helping to increase frame rates and optimize colors. The chip also helps bring a real-time preview when shooting in Night Mode.
