iQOO Z8 leaks: Will switch to LCD display from AMOLED be a good move? | Digit

iQOO launched its Z series smartphone this year in March and already the leaks of its successor, iQOO Z8, are surfacing on the internet. The iQOO Z8 seems to roll out with some changes. The leaks suggest about the display, processor and battery of iQOO Z8. The company launched the Neo 8 series in China in May. After that it unveiled the iQOO 11s in India, so it seems that the launch of iQOO Z8 could happen soon.

Talking about the leaks, they suggest a LCD display with up to 144Hz refresh rate support in the upcoming iQOO Z8. However, iQOO Z7 had an AMOLED display but with much less refresh rate of 90Hz.
