The Chinese manufacturer vivo today announced another addition to its iQOO brand - the iQOO U3X 5G. The phone, initially available only in China, has a Snapdragon 480 chipset, two cameras on the back and a big 5,000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging.

If the specs look familiar, that’s because the vivo iQOO U3X is a rebranded vivo Y31s. It comes with the very same 6.58” LCD with Full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The camera setup on the back consists of a 13MP main and 2MP depth units, while the front-facing camera has an 8MP sensor, fixed focus and f/2.0 aperture.

The iQOO U3X 5G runs Origin OS that also has Multi-Turbo 5.0 - for allocating all of the available processing power to gaming when needed.

There’s even the so-called “Memory Fusion”, in which if the 8GB RAM is not enough, the phone uses 3GB from the storage to dump some of the data.
