iQOO Z9 Turbo Gets 3C Certification, Features 6400mAh Battery
In the first part of this year, iQOO launched the iQOO Z9x, Z9, and Z9 Turbo in China. The Turbo version is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor and includes a large 6,000mAh battery. In September, the company introduced the Z9 Turbo+, which comes with the Dimensity 9300 Plus chip and an even larger 6,400mAh battery. Recent information suggests that they might soon release another variant of the iQOO Z9 Turbo.
iQOO Z9 Turbo’s New Model Gets 3C Approval
A screenshot shared indicates that a new Vivo phone, with the model number V2352GA, has received approval from China’s 3C authority. The current Z9 Turbo holds the model number V2352A, which suggests that the V2352GA could be an updated version of the Z9 Turbo. This upcoming device is expected to come with an 80W charger. With the 3C certification completed, it looks like this smartphone could be officially revealed later this month in China.
Upcoming iQOO Phones Expected Soon
Additionally, iQOO is rumored to announce the iQOO Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro by the end of November in China. These models are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the Dimensity 9400 chipsets, respectively. As for the new Z9 Turbo variant, it seems probable that it will also feature the same Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip used in the regular Z9 Turbo.
A Chinese informant has suggested that the Vivo V235GA might be named the iQOO Z9 Turbo Long-Life Version. In a comment on Weibo, he mentioned that this model could come with a 6,400mAh battery, similar to the Z9 Turbo+ phone. Other specifications of this phone are likely to mirror those of the standard Z9 Turbo.
Features of the iQOO Z9 Turbo
To recap, the iQOO Z9 Turbo sports a 6.78-inch flat OLED display that boasts a 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 3C Cert: Satellite Support, Design Leak
Samsung’s forthcoming tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, recently appeared on China’s 3C certification platform. Now, a fresh Samsung smartphone with model number SM-S9380 has surfaced in the 3C database. Since the Galaxy S24 Ultra was identified with the SM-S9280 model number, it is reasonable to predict that the SM-S9380 corresponds to the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Alongside this, prominent leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks, has unveiled a render to provide a glimpse of its design.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 3C Certification
The 3C certification for the Galaxy S25 Ultra confirms it will maintain the 45W charging capability of its predecessors. Like the S24 Ultra, the S25 Ultra’s retail package will not come with a charger. Notably, this certification also highlights support for satellite connectivity, making the S25 Ultra Samsung’s first phone to feature satellite communication.
Design Insights and Render Accuracy
The CAD renders of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, shared by OnLeaks in partnership with AndroidHeadlines, indicate that Samsung enthusiasts should not anticipate a major design overhaul compared to the S24 Ultra. However, another trusted leaker, Ice Universe, has pointed out that these renders aren’t entirely accurate due to discrepancies in the camera ring’s design, texture, bezels, and metal frame.
The device is reportedly going to measure 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2mm, contrasting with the S24 Ultra’s dimensions of 162.3 x 79 x 8.6mm. Consequently, the S25 Ultra is a bit taller, narrower, and thinner than the S24 Ultra. The S24 Ultra weighs 232 grams, whereas its successor is lighter at 219 grams. Despite these changes, it retains the same screen size at 6.8 inches. Below is a revised version of the S25 Ultra’s CAD render by Ice Universe.
Specifications and Camera Setup
Reports suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy processor and will include a 5,000mAh battery. Its camera array is anticipated to feature the same 200-megapixel primary camera as the S24 Ultra, a new 50-megapixel ISOCELL JN3 ultra-wide lens, a new 50-megapixel telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom, and a periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom.

Vivo X200 Series Phone 3C Certified with 90W Fast Charger
A Vivo phone, identified by the model number V2415A, recently received approval from China’s radio certification platform. This device has now also gained approval from China’s 3C certification platform, suggesting that it might soon be launched. It is speculated to be part of the Vivo X200 series smartphones.
Vivo X200 Series Rumors
The screenshot above shows that the Vivo V2415 has been listed in the 3C database. This model is associated with a V9082L0A1-CN / V9082L0E1-CN charger that supports up to 90W fast charging. Given the 90W charging capability, this phone is likely to be a forthcoming flagship model from Vivo.
There’s also a chance that the Vivo V2415, without the "A" suffix, noted in the IMEI database, could represent the global version of the Vivo V2415A. According to the IMEI listing, the model number V2415 is linked to the Vivo X200. However, it’s wise to take the phone’s naming with a grain of salt, as more details about the V2415A’s identity are anticipated shortly.
Expected Features and Launch
Current reports indicate that the X200 series will include at least three versions: the Vivo X200, X200+, and X200 Pro. These models are expected to feature the Dimensity 9400 chip and could be unveiled in the third week of October. Meanwhile, the Vivo X200 Ultra is projected to launch in early 2024, potentially boasting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip.

Nio Phone 2 Spotted on 3C, Launching Soon with 100W Charger
In September 2023, China’s Nio, widely recognized for its electric vehicles, introduced its first smartphone, the Nio Phone, in its domestic market. Earlier this year, the company’s CEO, William Li, announced that the development of the Nio Phone 2 had reportedly begun. He also mentioned the company’s intention to release a new phone annually. The Nio Phone 2 is expected to be launched soon, as it has seemingly received approval from China’s 3C certification body.
Nio Phone 2 3C Certification
Prior to its release, the initial Nio Phone, identified by model number N2301, appeared on the 3C certification platform and came with a 100W charger. However, the device only supports 66W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
New Nio Phone Spotted
Recently, the 3C database listed a new Nio smartphone with model number N2401, also accompanied by a 100W charger. This could potentially be the forthcoming Nio Phone 2. Despite the 100W charger being mentioned, it remains uncertain whether the phone will support 100W charging or will continue with 66W charging like its predecessor.
Nio Phone 2 Battery
In May, a Nio battery with model number NBET02 and a rated capacity of 4,900mAh was identified at the 3C certification. This battery, likely to have a typical value of 5,000mAh, is expected to power the Nio Phone 2. To recall, the Nio Phone appeared in the 3C database in September and was officially launched in the same month. Therefore, it is plausible that the Nio Phone 2 might be unveiled later this month or in August.
Nio’s move to venture into smartphones is seen as a defensive strategy against Huawei and Xiaomi’s entry into the electric car market. The Nio Phone is designed to function as a comprehensive car key, enabling owners to unlock, lock, and start their vehicles using the phone, even when it’s turned off. It also offers extensive vehicle control, allowing users to adjust settings such as air conditioning, seats, and music directly from their phone. Additionally, the phone integrates seamlessly with the car’s infotainment system, offering features like automatic syncing of music and contacts, and smooth transitions of video meetings between devices.
The Nio Phone boasts an overclocked 3.36GHz Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a 6.81-inch AMOLED 2K 120Hz display, a 50-megapixel triple camera setup, and a 5,200mAh battery. There is a possibility that the Nio phone may be equipped with an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
