iQOO launched Z6 Pro and Z6 44W

IQOO’s Indian division hosted an event today to introduce two new phones: the iQOO Z6 Pro and the iQOO Z6 44W. They’re all-new smartphones with Snapdragon chipsets and Schott Xensation-protected AMOLED panels.

The iQOO Z6 44W is different from the original iQOO Z6 (also sold as vivo T1 5G) and it goes beyond the headlining charging speed. It has an LTE-only Snapdragon 680 chipset with 4GB, 6GB or 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

The Z6 44W is built around a 6.44” AMOLED screen of Full HD+ resolution. The refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, though.

Around the back is a 50MP main shooter. The other two modules are for macro and depth data and while their resolution isn’t confirmed it’s more than likely 2MP.

iQOO also doesn’t specify what software is installed on the Z6 44W. We assume this is the case because the inexpensive iQOO Z6 comes with Android 12 and Funtouch 12 out of the box.

The iQOO Z6 44W comes with an ample 5,000 mAh cell with 44W charging support. It also supports reverse wired charging.

The iQOO Z6 44W is offered in Lumina Blue and Raven Black starting at INR14,499 ($190) for the 4/128GB version and reaching INR16,999 ($222) for the top 8/128GB model.

The iQOO Z6 Pro is advertised as the highest-performing phone in the sub-25K segment in India, based on AnTuTu results. This is achieved thanks to the Snapdragon 778G chipset and 12GB RAM. That’s the top version with 256GB storage, but there are also cheaper 6/128GB and 8/128GB models.

The rear camera setup has 64MP main shooter and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle snapper with 117-degree FoV. The third cam is a 2MP macro shooter.

The front is the same as the iQOO Z6 44W – a 6.44” AMOLED with Full HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera.

The internals of the iQOO Z6 Pro are kept cool and safe by innovative vapour chamber liquid cooling with a total surface area of 32,993 sq.mm.

The Z6 Pro’s battery has a capacity of 4,700 mAh and supports 66W rapid charging.

Phantom Dusk and Legion Sky are the colours, and the 6/128GB version costs INR23,999 ($315/€295), the 8/128GB version costs INR24,999 ($325/€310), and the top 12/256GB edition costs INR28,999 ($380/€355).

Officials guaranteed us two years of Android updates and three years of security patches once the phones were released during the Amazon Summer Sale, which would take place on an undetermined date.
