The brand took to its Weibo to announce the launch date for the iQOO Z5. The launch event will start at 2:30 pm CST Asia (12pm IST) in China on September 23. Alongside, the brand is also rumored to introduce the iQOO Z5 Pro and the iQOO Z5x smartphones. However, the brand is yet to confirm the existence of these handsets.

iQOO Z5 Features We Known So Far

The smartphone is confirmed to ship with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G paired with UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 RAM. Apart from this, nothing much is known about the iQOO Z5. However, the rumored iQOO Z5 Pro was recently spotted on the Google Play Console listing, revealing its features.

The Pro model is expected to feature a Full-HD+ (1,080 x 2,400 pixels) display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is said to come with the same Snapdragon 778G processor which will be paired with 8GB of RAM. Further, the smartphone will run Android 11 OS and pack 64MP triple cameras. Other features of the iQOO Z5 Pro are tipped to include a 5,000 mAh battery with 44W fast charging and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Since both the standard and Pro models seem to have the same processor, we can expect the standard iQOO Z5 might get some similar features as the iQOO Z5 Pro.

According to the 91mobiles report, the iQOO Z5 could launch this month in the country. However, the report has not shared the exact launch date.
