In the previous, couple of Vivo devices such as V2012A, V2019A, W2052/W2056 and V2011A received approval from the 3C authority of China. The V2011A and V2012A devices have already debuted as Vivo X50 Pro+ and iQOO Z1x 5G phones, respectively. The W2052/W2056 is the upcoming Vivo Watch smartwatch. A Chinese tipster had claimed that the V2019A is an entry-level 5G smartphone. Today, the handset has appeared as ‘iQOO V2019A’ in the database of China’s TENAA telecom regulatory body. Hence, it appears that the V2019A could be arriving in China as the cheapest 5G-ready smartphone.
The iQOO V2019A smartphone measures 162.07 x 76.61mm and its thickness is 8.46mm. It is equipped with a display that measures 6.53 inches. The rated capacity of the V2019A’s battery is 4,420mAh. Its typical capacity could be about 4,500mAh.
The V2019A 3C listing revealed that it is a 5G smartphone and it could be an 18W fast charger. iQOO phones that have launched so far come with 33W, 44W, and 55W fast charging capabilities. The iQOO Z1x 5G that went official earlier this month came equipped with a 33W rapid charger.
The iQOO Z1x 5G was announced with a starting price of 1,598 Yuan (~$228). At present, the Redmi K30i 5G with a pricing of 1,499 Yuan (~$214) is selling as the most affordable 5G phone in China. The upcoming iQOO V2019A could possibly snatch the title of the world’s cheapest 5G phone from the Redmi handset.
The images of the iQOO V2019A have appeared yet on TENAA. Hence, the design of the device is under wraps now. The TENAA listing is expected to get updated soon with its entire specifications and images.
