Vivo has released the same smartphones under different names before and now it is doing it again. The mid-range iQOO Z9 Lite announced this week is built on the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 microprocessor and has previously entered the markets of some countries under the names Vivo T3 Lite and Vivo Y28s. The main difference between the three devices is the distribution channels.
