iQOO Z9 Turbo portrayed as super-fast Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powered smartphone on Geekbench

iQOO is said to augment its upcoming Z9 series of mid-range Android smartphones with a device that will be both its first Turbo variant and first to be powered by the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. Now, it is also tipped to be among the fastest handsets with the SoC on Geekbench, despite having the exact same specs as some of its rumored rivals on the platform.

Z8 was on IPS, but this is s*** on AMOLED, no one needs it. It's a pity that the Z8 didn't have global firmware with full support for regional frequencies. And besides, the manufacturer refused and continues to refuse customers the opportunity to unlock the bootloader, thereby reducing its sales by orders of magnitude. This would be a unique smartphone on the market, probably the cheapest with real support for video recording at 4k@60fps. But the Chinese, due to patent disputes (theft of technology), simply cannot export such models outside the Chinese local market. Their sales will be immediately stopped at the legislative level.
