Additionally, the image displays the phone’s camera module, revealing that it will sport a vertically oriented camera with optical image stabilization(OIS) supported by bottom lens.

Additionally, the camera features a unique “Aspherical premium lens.” in order to take crisper photos with a mobile device, this kind of lens is frequently utilized, especially when the camera has a wide aperture. It also aids in lowering the image’s undesirable color saturation.

The company’s previous teases have also revealed that the main sensor, a 50 MP sony IMX882 with OIS support, will be present. One possible SoC for the iQoo Z9 5G is the MediaTek Dimensity 7200.
