The phone will feature a 6.31-inch screen size, which goes against the current trend of large phones. The smaller screen will make it attractive to those who prefer one-handed use.
2. Balanced Display Quality with 1.5K Resolution
It will have a 1.5K resolution, which provides sharp visuals but consumes less battery than 2K. This indicates a focus on balancing display quality and battery life.
3. High Performance with Dimensity 9500+ Chipset
The phone will be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500+ processor, known for delivering flagship-level performance. It will provide smooth output in gaming, multitasking, and high-load applications.
4. Mainstream Battery Capacity, No Compromise on Compact Form Factor
According to leaks, the phone will have a “mainstream-level” battery, meaning around 4500–5000mAh. Fitting such a battery into a small body is considered a significant achievement in design engineering.
5. Expected to Launch Under the iQOO Brand
All indications suggest that this model will cater to iQOO’s compact performance segment. This brand has previously been popular among performance-centric users.
6. DCS Raises the Question: “Where Have the Small-Screen Users Gone?”
The blogger questioned the future of compact phones. This reflects the nostalgia and curiosity of users who are longing for smaller phones amidst the trend of large displays.
7. Minimalist Design Offering Both Simplicity and Style
Leaks suggest the phone will come with a minimalist look. A glass-metal combination, slim body, and lightweight design are expected.
8. Not a Flagship, but a Performance-Oriented Compact Model
This phone will not be a traditional flagship, but will focus on performance. This means that the focus will be on power and speed, while spending less on the camera, display, or premium features.
9. 1.5K screen instead of 2K compared to the iQOO 15
The new compact model will differ from the recently launched iQOO 15 standard edition. That phone had a 2K Samsung Everest screen, while this one uses a 1.5K screen for better battery life and heat management.
10. Better pricing and an attempt to cater to the compact phone market
Because a 1.5K display is being used, the phone’s price can also be kept slightly lower. The market for compact phones may be small, but it’s loyal. Such users are few in number, but extremely dedicated.
