Earlier today, iQOO revealed the battery details of its upcoming iQOO Z5 smartphone. In the past, the company has also teased some other specs of the smartphone for the Chinese market. Now, a fresh piece of information suggests the phone’s Indian pricing and sheds light on its availability.

According to GSMArena, the iQOO Z5 will be priced under ₹30,000(~$410) in India. Unlike the predecessor iQOO Z3’s global launch, which took place months after its Chinese release, the iQOO Z5 will land in India immediately after the Chinese launch. The publication stated that the phone will launch by the end of September in India. In case you were unaware, the phone is scheduled to launch on September 23 in China.

Getting to the specifications of the smartphone, the iQOO Z5 will be a mid-range phone with a 120Hz punch-hole display. It will have support for HDR10 and a faster 240Hz touch sampling rate. The device is likely to feature a triple rear camera system with a 64MP primary sensor.

Under the hood, it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. The phone will house a 5,000mAh non-removable battery and may support 44W fast charging support. As per iQOO, the device will offer 96 hours of music listening, and up to 10.4 hours of gaming.

In related news, Xiaomi is also slated to launch a Snapdragon 778G smartphone in India dubbed Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G. Rumors have it that the phone may arrive for a starting price of ₹21,999(~$299). This is way less than what iQOO Z5 is expected to start at. Considering that both phones have the same chipset, we may see stiff competition in the market.
