iQOO develops seven-inch smartphone for 2027 release
iQOO has reportedly begun tooling for a seven-inch mid-range smartphone. The device is expected to feature a high-capacity battery and target a mid-2027 launch window.
iQOO has commenced development on a new seven-inch display smartphone targeting the mid-range market. Recent industry disclosures indicate that the hardware is currently in the tooling phase, with a tentative release scheduled for the middle of 2027.
The upcoming device is expected to distinguish itself with a high-capacity battery, exceeding current standard specifications for its class. There are also indications that the company is exploring 2K display resolutions for potentially larger, high-end models.
This development aligns with a broader market shift among major manufacturers toward adopting wider aspect ratio flat displays. With multiple major players in the Chinese market having already initiated testing for similar form factors, the industry anticipates a shift in design standards leading up to 2027.
