A new Vivo smartphone has turned up on Geekbench, and the clues point to MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 at the heart of it. The model number is V2545A, and the handset could still end up wearing either a Vivo badge or an iQOO one.
The model number was previously listed on China’s 3C certification platform in April with support for a 100W charger. That charging rating alone does not tell you much, but in Vivo’s orbit it usually means the device is aimed at the faster, more aggressively specced end of the lineup.
What the Geekbench listing reveals
The Geekbench entry does not spell out ”Dimensity 9500” by name, but the CPU layout, GPU metadata, and MT6693 model number all line up with MediaTek’s top-end chip. In practice, that is the kind of fingerprint phone trackers use when the marketing label is still being kept under wraps.
- Model number: V2545A
- Charging support: 100W
- Chipset clue: Dimensity 9500
Vivo or iQOO? The branding clues are mixed
Vivo has already confirmed that the X Fold 6 will use the Dimensity 9500, so the chip itself is no surprise. What makes V2545A interesting is that iQOO’s upcoming Neo 11S is also expected to arrive as a modest step up from last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Neo 11, which makes the 100W charging hint feel a little more like iQOO territory than foldable-phone territory.
That said, this is still a guess, not a reveal. Phone makers love making every model number look like a riddle, and until Vivo or iQOO says otherwise, V2545A is just another very fast mystery box.
What to watch next
If the leak trail continues, the next useful clue will be whether V2545A shows up in more certifications or a second benchmark with a clearer device identity. For now, the safest bet is that Vivo has another Dimensity 9500 phone in the pipeline, and iQOO remains the more likely home if that 100W charging spec is the real tell.
