iQOO has internally showcased a futuristic concept smartphone called the iQOO X as part of its 10th anniversary celebrations. The device was presented as a community co-creation project, with some seriously ambitious hardware.
iQOO X packs extreme specs
The iQOO X concept phone is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen10 Pro processor, which is paired with iQOO’s in-house QX gaming chip. The combination is designed to deliver high-end processing and gaming performance, although the Snapdragon platform mentioned here is part of the concept’s specifications rather than a commercially available chipset.
One of the most striking specifications is the 15,000mAh solid-state battery. This is far larger than the batteries found in most current smartphones and suggests that iQOO is exploring how much battery capacity could be packed into a flagship-class device. The phone also features a half-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication.
The iQOO X features what the company calls a true full-screen 7-inch LTPO 6.0 panel. The screen supports a 2K resolution along with an extremely high 240Hz refresh rate and 4800Hz touch sampling rate. The display also supports AI-powered dynamic regional refresh, allowing different areas of the screen to adjust their refresh rates independently based on the content being shown. The LTPO 6.0 technology further enables intelligent refresh rate adjustments for smoother visuals and improved power efficiency.
The horizontal camera module on the back has a 200MP Samsung HPC main camera, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel Samsung periscope telephoto camera. The device has four configurations, such as 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, 16GB+1TB, and 24GB+1TB, and starts at 6,999 Yuan (~$1,040).
The iQOO X was presented internally on August 14 as a 10th anniversary concept phone, with iQOO fans reportedly involved in its development. Physical mock-up units were also displayed at the event, allowing the company to demonstrate the design and validate aspects of the concept’s structure and appearance.
While the company revealed its pricing, being a concept phone, it is unlikely to go on sale. Instead, the device provides a glimpse into the kind of hardware the brand is exploring for future products.
