Cons
iQOO has gone aggressive this year with its launches in India and its latest iQOO Z5 is a testament to its plans. Starting at ₹23,990, this is the most affordable phone with the reasonably capable Snapdragon 778G chip. At its price, nothing comes close to the performance potential this phone has to offer.
However, a phone is more than just its chipset and iQOO has impressed us with its 7 series flagships this year for the same. Can the iQOO Z5 live up to that legacy? I have been living with the phone for the past week to find out.
iQOO Z5 design review
iQOO usually borrows design elements from Vivo smartphones but this iQOO Z5 is highly reminiscent of the iQOO 7. It looks simple on paper but in person, it imparts the big phone vibes. The tasteful colour gradients, the rectangular camera, and the matte finish help make this plastic unibody design desirable. Don’t use a case on this, it looks handsome.
