Key specs of iQOO Z1x appear, 120Hz screen confirmed

iQOO already launched a midranger called iQOO Z1 with Dimensity 1000+ chipset and 44W super-fast charging last month. A cheaper version, dubbed iQOO Z1x, is going to be coming soon.

We already knew it will have Snapdragon 765G chipset and a 5,000 mAh battery, but today two leaksters revealed even more details on Weibo. The iQOO Z1x will arrive with a 6.57” LCD that comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the fast charging will be downgraded to the still very respectable 33W.

One of the leaksters also revealed the main camera will have a 48MP sensor. What is more important for a gaming device is the memory - and the other leakster says 8/128 GB, but he didn't confirm whether it will be DDR5 RAM + UFS 3.0 storage, or iQOO is more likely to stick with the cheaper and somewhat less speedy DDR4X & UFS 2.1.

The price is the big question here - the regular iQOO Z1 started from CNY2,198, but the 8/128 GB version was CNY2,498 ($350/€320). If the Z1x is trying to reduce the price while keeping the iQOO experience, we are likely looking at the realm of CNY2,000 ($280/€250), which is the most competitive price range for midrangers, even if not all of them are gaming-oriented.
