The Vivo iQOO Z1 has just been revealed as the first smartphone to ever use a brand new processor from MediaTek.

Vivo claimed its iQOO brand will be the first to use the new Dimensity 1000 Plus when MediaTek launched it a few weeks ago. Now, the Vivo iQOO Z1 5G is here, with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

This latest processor allowed the device to have dual-mode 5G and WiFi 6. It also has support for 144Hz screen, which the iQOO Z15G have. It comes in at 6.57-inches with an IPS panel that has a FHD+ pixel resolution and HDR 10 support.

A punch-hole on the top right corner houses a 16-megapixel selfie camera. While on the back we have a triple camera setup that consists of a 48-megapixel main shooter, 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and 2-megapixel macro sensors.
