iQOO U5e goes official with Dimensity 700 SoC and 5,000 mAh battery

iQOO announced the U5 last December and followed up with the U5x in March. Now the company has added a new member to its U5 series, dubbed iQOO U5e. Spoiler - it is just a rebranded vivo Y33e, which is also headed to the Chinese market.

The iQOO U5e is powered by the Dimensity 700 SoC and runs Android 12-based OriginOS Ocean out of the box. It comes with up to 6GB RAM and has 128GB of storage onboard, which is expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card.

The iQOO U5e is built around a 6.51" 60Hz HD+ LCD with a notch for the 8MP selfie camera. It has a 13MP primary camera on the rear, joined by a 2MP macro unit and LED flash.

The U5e packs a 5,000 mAh battery that's charged through a USB-C port at up to 18W. The rest of the iQOO U5e's highlights include a side-mounted fingerprint reader, 3.5mm headphone jack, and 5G connectivity.

The iQOO U5e comes in two colors and memory configurations - 4GB/128GB and 6GB/128GB priced at CNY1,399 ($210/€200) and CNY1,499 ($225/€210), respectively. It's listed on vivo's official website in China, but there's no word on when it will go on sale.
