The global iQOO 7 actually corresponds to the iQOO Neo5, with vertical camera setup and a Snapdragon 870 chipset. The Chinese iQOO 7 is actually going to be known as iQOO 7 Legend overseas and it comes with the Snapdragon 888 chipset and design developed in partnership with BMW M Motorsport.

Flashback: Batman and Superman love Nokia, the X-Men use LG

A couple of weeks ago we looked back at some phones with true star power – phones featured in blockbuster movies. Since Marvel characters featured heavily in that (Tony Stark/Iron Man, Steve Rogers/Captain America and others), we thought that this week we can have a look at the handsets seen it other superhero franchises.
