The post iQOO Z7 5G, iQOO Z7x 5G launches outside China, global journey begins appeared first on Gizmochina.

A recent report claimed that iQOO is planning to launch iQOO Z7x 5G by mid-April in India. It appears that the said device may land in Indonesia first before making it to the Indian market. The reason behind it is that the company has confirmed that it will launch the new iQOO Z7 series of smartphones at 4pm (local time) on April 3 in Indonesia.

The brand’s promotional poster features a blue and black iQOO Z7 series phone. The device can sport an OIS-enabled dual-camera system. The company is yet to confirm the exact names of the Z7 devices that will be unveiled on April 4 in Indonesia.

In February, Indonesia’s TKDN agency gave the I2213 and I2216 models of iQOO devices the green light. The I2213 model was recently seen at Geekbench with the Snapdragon 782G chip, 12 GB of RAM, and Android 13 OS. So, it looks like the I2213 will be the global version of the iQOO Z7 5G with Snapdragon 782G, which came out in China this month. There is a possibility that the device may arrive on the global market as the IQOO Z7 Pro 5G.

On the other hand, the appearance of the I2216 at Thailand’s NBTC, Malaysia’s SIRIM, Bluetooth SIG, and Google Play Supported Devices list has revealed that it will be the global version of China’s iQOO Z7x 5G. It is speculated that the global version may not support 80W charging, which is available on the Chinese version. Otherwise, there may not be any difference between the global and Chinese editions of the Z7x.

With only a few days remaining for the launch, iQOO Indonesia is expected to release some more teasers about the upcoming Z7 series to confirm some of its key features.
