The countdown to the August 22 launch of Vivo‘s iQOO Pro 5G flagship phone is already on. Ahead of the official launch, the company had opened reservations for the phone on its official website. The Vivo iQOO Pro 5G is turning out to be a very popular smartphone as the reservations have surpassed 600,000 persons as at the time of filing this report. 
Although not all reservations will translate to actual sales, the surge is an indication that a lot of persons find the device interesting. This could be as a result of the sleek design and powerful hardware, including the 5G modem. In another light, it is possible the iQOO Pro 5G is courting attention because of expectations that it could be the cheapest 5G phone when launched. 
The Vivo iQOO Pro 5G packs 6.41-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with an on-screen fingerprint scanner. It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ chipset having a Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 modem for 5G connectivity. The smartphone will come with 8GB and 12GB RAM. There will also be three storage options to choose from – 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. In terms of photography, the Vivo iQOO Pro 5G will adopt a 12MP selfie shooter for selfies upfront. While at the rear aspect, there will be a triple camera setup comprising of 48MP+ 13MP+12MP sensors.
The device will get its power from a 4500mAH battery and has 44W ultra-fast flash charge support. You won’t have to bother about the phone heating up when charging as it uses two charging ICs, which not only achieves better control of the temperature increase but also extends the peak charging time to 2-3 times. The iQOO Pro is said to have a peak charging time of just about 15 minutes. Can you bestie beat that? We just hope they’re not making an explosive device, I mean literally.
