The iQoo Z9 Turbo stood out in April 2024 with its impressive battery capacity, surpassing that of its competitor, the Redmi Turbo 3. However, as the smartphone landscape evolves, having a large battery no longer guarantees a competitive edge. iQoo is preparing to shake things up with the Z9 Turbo “Endurance Edition,” according to insights from the well-known leaker, Digital Chat Station. While details about the battery size remain a mystery, there’s speculation it could mirror the 6,400mAh found in the Z9 Turbo’s Plus variant. This, however, may still fall short in comparison to rivals like the Realme Neo 7.
The “Endurance Edition” is expected to retain the original specifications of the Z9 Turbo, featuring a 6.78-inch display with a refresh rate of 144Hz, and powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. However, this existing chip might not hold much appeal if its successor, the rumored Snapdragon 8s Elite, makes its debut in 2025.
One potential drawback of the “Endurance Edition” could be its charging speed, reportedly sticking at 80W. As a result, any battery advantages might be offset by longer charging times compared to the original Z9 Turbo. Despite this, iQoo’s refreshed model could present an appealing option in the global market, joining the brand’s latest flagship, the iQoo 13.
The anticipation for this affordable yet high-performing smartphone is building. The iQoo 13 is currently available at a special discounted price on Amazon India, further enticing tech enthusiasts. Keeping an eye on iQoo’s evolving lineup might just reveal the next must-have in mobile technology.
