vivo iQOO Z1 to launch on May 19

Last week MediaTek introduced its new chipset Dimensity 1000+ and revealed the first phone will be a vivo device from the iQOO family. Later we learned the name of the phone will be iQOO Z1, and today an official confirmation arrived, along with a launch date - May 19, which is next Tuesday.

While we have verification from vivo, the leakster is once again a step ahead of the manufacturer, giving us live photos of the phone. They show the iQOO Z1 will have a single punch hole on the front and a 144Hz screen.

The 144 Hz refresh rate was also mentioned by vivo, and that shouldn’t be a surprise - after all, iQOO is the gaming family of the manufacturer, so a high rate is pretty much expected, even if the Z1 is going to be a midranger.
