iQOO Z9 Turbo Plus upgrades to MediaTek chipset in new leak
iQOO used the Turbo suffix for the first time in 2024 with the Z9 series, and apparently likes it so well that the OEM has a Turbo Plus (or Turbo+) on the way.
According to prolific leaker Digital Chat Station, it might be slightly more worthy of the product name with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ SoC in place of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.
The refreshed flagship processor is believed to drive a display identical to that of the original Z9 Turbo - however, as it is a 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with a 4,500 nit peak brightness rating, that spec might attract limited pushback.
Similarly, the Turbo+ is also slated to stay ahead of the premium curve with a 6,000mAh battery, albeit one that charges at up to 80W. However, should the V2417A spotted on the 3C database truly be the next Z9-series flagship, it has been approved for use with a 90W power brick that may or may not come in the box.
In terms of looks, it would probably debut with the same esthetics as the pre-existing Turbo, inherited in turn from the current iQOO 12 flagship series.
Check the Z9 Turbo out for as little as $277 (~305) on TradingShenzhen.com.
