vivo’s sub-brand is gearing up to launch the iQOO Z9x 5G in India. While an official launch date is still under wraps, a listing on the vivo Malaysia website reveals the phone’s key specifications.
The Z9x 5G appears to be shaping up as a solid mid-range option, powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset. And it packs a generous 6000mAh battery that supports 44W fast charging.
The display which likely uses an IPS LCD panel runs at 120Hz. On the back, is a dual rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel main and 2-megapixel depth. The phone also boasts an IP64 dust and splash resistance rating.
