The iQOO Z9 Pro 5G (model number I2305) might follow with a single 12GB RAM and 256GB storage option in white or orange.

    Rumored Launch Dates

    While neither company has confirmed these devices, a retailer leak suggests an early August launch. Notably, both phones are rumored to be identical except for color options, mirroring the relationship between the T3 Lite and Z9 Lite. This suggests potential rebranding strategies by Vivo and iQOO.
