MediaTek<\/a> announced the Dimensity 1000 Plus<\/a> chipset earlier this month, being a mild upgrade over the Dimensity 1000<\/a> launched late last year. Now, the first phone powered by the new processor has launched, and it’s the Vivo Iqoo Z1.<\/p>\n

The Iqoo Z1 offers that Dimensity 1000 Plus chipset, which features an octacore CPU (4x Cortex-A77<\/a> and 4x Cortex-A55), Mali-G77 MP9 GPU, and a six-core APU for machine learning. Vivo’s new phone also sports sub-6Ghz 5G (but no mmWave) and 5G+5G dual SIM support thanks to the chipset.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the phone also stands out thanks to its 6.57-inch 144Hz screen (FHD+ LCD), beating the likes of the Galaxy S20 series<\/a> and OnePlus 8 series<\/a> in this regard. But this is an LCD panel rather than an OLED screen.<\/p>\n

5G<\/a> connectivity and a high refresh rate requires a sizeable battery, and the phone serves up a 4,500mAh pack with 44W fast charging. In fact, Vivo says the phone hits 50% juice in 23 minutes and 100% capacity in 59 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Vivo Iqoo Z1 also offers a triple rear camera<\/a> setup (48MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro), and a 16MP selfie camera in a punch-hole cutout. It’s a little disappointing that we don’t have a telephoto camera here, so you’ll need to rely on cropping via the 48MP camera instead.<\/p>\n
