MediaTek recently announced the Dimensity 100+ SoC that comes with a few upgraded features over the Dimensity 1000 chipset. It also confirmed that iQOO Z1 will be the first smartphone to be powered by the latest silicon.

Now, iQOO has confirmed the launch of its upcoming phone. The iQOO Z1 will be launched on May 19.

The launch poster showcases its front design. It will come with a punch-hole display with the selfie camera residing at the top left corner of the smartphone.

Further, as per the poster, the Z1 will feature a 144Hz refresh rate. It is tipped to ship with a 44W fast charger.

The company also confirmed the first device powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ chipset would be the iQOO Z1 which has received an official launch date — May 19. iQOO official Weibo page has posted a teaser video for the launch. Renowned tipster, Digital Chat Station, also leaked a few details about the new device.

According to his post, the iQOO Z1 will sport a display with a 144Hz refresh rate. However, this should not come as a surprise as the recently launched iQOO Neo3 also offered a 144Hz refresh rate. Additionally, the high refresh rate is a key selling point of the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ 5G chipset.

The images leaked also point to a punch-hole camera cutout on the display, but it is unclear whether the phone will use an OLED or LCD panel. For comparison, the iQOO Neo3 opts for an IPS LCD screen. If the images are accurate though, the fingerprint reader on the side on the device does suggest an LCD panel.
