feature periscope telephoto and Samsung OLED panel

iQoo's latest Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship doesn't have a Pro variant, but the upcoming iQoo 14 series may be different in this regard. Prominent tipster Experience More on Weibo claims that the company's next flagship series will consist of two phones: one regular and one Pro.

The leaker suggests that both of them will feature straight screens, something that has become quite common among Chinese flagship phones. As for what will set the iQoo 14 Pro apart from the standard, the Weibo tipster says it would be a periscope telephoto sensor.

It's not clear whether both the iQoo 14 Pro and non-Pro phones will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, but there's a chance that one of them may pack the Dimensity 9400 successor. Smart Pikachu, another prominent Weibo tipster, shares that the company may use Samsung OLED screens on the upcoming flagship line.

These are tipped to be 1.5K and 2.5K resolution micro-quad-curved screens. This would be another major change in the iQoo 14 series because the past two lineups relied on OLED panels made by BOE and Visionox. Smart Pikachu's report further suggests that Vivo may also use Samsung LTPO panels for its upcoming flagship phones.

Other than these, not much is known about the iQoo 14 series, but given that it's a gaming-centric phone, the lineup could introduce a new Q3 chip to enhance the gaming experience. Both the upcoming phones could also have the RGB light that the current-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship has around the camera island.
