Not long ago, it was reported that iQOO would be introducing the first device that supports a 200W fast charging technology. If you think that's already impressive, new information arrives and claims OPPO is launching one with an even higher 240W charging capacity.

The iQOO 10 Series has been in the rumour mills for quite some time now, with many tipsters claiming that the series will feature top of the line specs. Previously, we reported that the series may be the first with 200W fast charging and now, a new leak is pointing to the lineup being the first with a MediaTek Dimesnity 9000+ processor too.

iQOO has recently released the latest addition to its U5 series lineup, the iQOO U5e. Featuring a MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor, the device is arguably the most affordable 5G smartphone available in China.

Since Qualcomm has announced its latest flagship chipset, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, some of you might be wondering when will the first batch of smartphones arrive. The good news is that we've received information regarding which smartphone manufacturers will join the first round of the release, and they're going to make the industry lively again.

If you recall, Qualcomm announced that the next-gen Snapdragon will have a new name. While there's no official word yet, it's very likely to be called Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. On that note, the chipset may have gone through a benchmark test on AnTuTu with over 1 million points.

The maximum charging power found on current commercial smartphones is 120W. Although it was impressive back in the day, it has become a mainstream feature, especially for Xiaomi devices. Now, it would be nice to see something that can spice up the smartphone charging game. According to the latest information from insiders, 2022 will be the year when we see devices with 200W fast charging, and they specifically mentioned that there should be at least two such devices.

It looks like there will be another smartphone sub-brand becoming independent soon. According to the latest report, iQOO will no longer be attached to vivo and become a standalone brand in the first half of 2022.

iQOO might have finally decided to expand its market in Malaysia. It has been spotted that the brand has set up an official Facebook page recently. Not only that, but the page has also included the words "coming soon" on its cover image.

When a new Qualcomm chipset launches, you can bet that there will be smartphones powered by it. For the company's latest 5G chipset, Honor and realme are right in the mix with new devices. Now, you can expect at least two devices with the Snapdragon 778G.

According to XDA Developers, the Honor 50 series will feature the Snapdragon 778G. The company hasn't confirmed which models will feature the chipset, but expect there to be at least one variant with it. realme India CEO, Madhav Sheth, also confirms that the company will be using the new 6nm 5G chipset. In this case, the device is believed to be the realme Quicksilver.

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that a vivo or an iQOO smartphone may have been spotted, hinting that it will be unveiled somewhere around March 2021. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the global market.
