iQOO India’s chief Gagan Arora recently revealed that apart from launching the iQOO 7 Legend, the company plans to launch multiple phones this year at different segments. Popular tipster Mukul Sharma has revealed that a Snapdragon 870 powered iQOO phone is in the works for India. At the same time, the iQOO U1x smartphone which was announced back in October 2020 in China has received approval from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Last month, iQOO announced the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform powered iQOO Neo5 in China. The tipster did not share any other information on the iQOO phone with SD870 that has been planned for India. Since the BIS authority has already certified the Neo5, this phone is likely to debut soon in the country. The Indian variant of the phone has also appeared at the Google Play Console. Hence, there is a possibility that the iQOO Neo5 may get rebranded as an iQOO 7 series smartphone.
The iQOO Neo5 sports a 6.62-inch AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is loaded with Android 11 OS and iQOO UI. The SD888 powered phone ships with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It is packed with a 4,400mAH battery that supports 66W fast charging. The Neo5 has a 16-megapixel front camera and a triple camera system featuring a 48-megapixel main camera with OIS, a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
The BIS appearance of the iQOO U1x has no information on its specifications. The handset is mentioned with its V2065 model number in the listing.
