The iQOO Z5 comes as the latest premium-mid range phone by the company which is driven by the Snapdragon 778G processor. The device features a linear motor for 4D game vibration. Recently, Samsung and Xiaomi have also launched SD 778G powered smartphone dubbed Galaxy M52s 5G and the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE respectively.

iQOO Z5 Price In India, Sale Details

You can buy the iQOO Z5 in two different configurations in India. The base model which has 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at Rs. 23,990, while the 12GB RAM+ 256GB storage model can be purchased at Rs. 26,990. The device can be purchased in Arctic Dawn and Mystic Space colors. The iQOO Z5 sales begin from October 3 online via Amazon and the company's official website, i.e., iqoo.com.

As mentioned earlier, the device will be a primary rival of the Samsung Galaxy M52s 5G and the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE in India. The Poco F3 GT and the OnePlus Nord CE 5G would be other variants this handset will be going up against. The former is one of the toughest competitions which the iQOO Z5 will have to beat considering they both are gaming-oriented.

The sub Rs. 25,000 asking price complemented with game-centric features is expected to help this device grab the audience. But how well the device actually performs in real-life scenarios will also be a major factor for the iQOO Z5's success in the Indian market.
