iQOO Z5 with 120Hz display and 44W fast charging launched in India, will take on Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G at a price of Rs 23,990

Vivo spin-off brand iQOO launched the iQOO Z5 5G mid-range phone in India on Monday at a starting price of Rs 23,990. It’s a follow-up to the iQOO Z3 and seems geared to take on the upcoming Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G which is set to formally arrive in India on September 29.

Both phones are based on the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 system-on-chip but in all the other areas, the iQOO Z5 5G cruises ahead with a faster display, more RAM and storage, and a bigger battery that can also charge faster in comparison. The iQOO Z3 offered terrific value and the iQOO Z5 builds on it with an even more compelling spec sheet.
