While the Adreno 840 GPU (with hardware-accelerated ray tracing) and the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU are features you’ll find on all 8 Elite Gen 5-powered devices, iQOO has equipped its latest smartphone with the Q3 gaming chip.
Alongside the mighty processor, the gaming chip helps improve overall efficiency, provides frame interpolation to increase the effective frame rate to 144Hz while gaming, and reduces latency between hardware components for a streamlined, ultra-smooth gaming experience.
Furthermore, the handset also features an 8K vapor chamber cooling system.
