iQOO is gearing up to launch the successor to its Z3 series that was released back in April. The successor comes in the form of the iQOO Z5 series comprised of iQOO Z5, iQOO Z5 Pro, and iQOO Z5x, although the names of the individual devices haven’t been confirmed as of yet. What is confirmed though is that the iQOO Z5 will be coming with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset paired with a UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 RAM, the power to which will be fed via a 5,000mAh battery.
Design & Display
A recently surfaced image of the iQOO Z5 Pro reveals that the device has a punch-hole display aligned to the center. As for the rear, you get a fairly sizeable camera module that is not unlike the ones found on other recent offerings from both iQOO and Vivo.
IQOO Z5 will be sporting an LCD panel that delivers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixel, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The display will also have a DCI-P3 color gamut and support HDR10.
Cameras on the iQOO Z5 series
The iQOO Z5 has been officially confirmed to come with a 64-megapixel primary shooter (Samsung GW3). However, the auxiliary camera setup of the device is still under wraps. There are talks of it inheriting the same 64-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit from the iQOO Z3 5G though. The selfie camera is likely to have a 16-megapixel sensor.
The iQOO Z5’s camera samples suggest that it will be good at capturing shots in any lighting conditions. But of course, actual performance in the hands of the buyers will vary.
Other Specifications
iQOO has already confirmed that the Z5 will be equipped with the Snapdragon 778G chipset, LPDDR5 RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage. The 5,000mAh battery will support 44W rapid charging.
A tipster had claimed that the device may come with Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the front, AG frost polycarbonate panel as the rear, and an aluminum alloy middle frame. The handset will offer other features like a side-facing fingerprint scanner, iQOO UI-based Android 11 OS, Hi-Res Audio, Hi-Res Audio Wireless, rotor motor, and VC cooling for heat dissipation.
Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack, and 5G connectivity.
Pricing & Availability
iQOO had recently revealed that it would launch the iQOO Z5 in China on September 23. Soon after, the brand confirmed a September 27 launch date for India.
Not many details are currently at hand about the pricing and storage variants, although the Z5 is expected to carry a price tag of around Rs 30,000 (~$407) in India. A tipster had also stated that the device may come in 8 GB/12 GB RAM variants and 128 GB/256 GB storage choices.
