iQOO Z9x 5G, to be released on May 16 in India, is the Z9 series second smartphone model to be released. Recently, the Z9x 5G was launched in China, and it would not be surprising if the Indian variant had the same specifications as the Chinese version.

In the camera department, this device is likely to house a 16MP f/2.45 selfie sensor.
The phone lasts long with a swath 6000mAh battery with support for fast charging up to 44W, making sure that it would last the whole day. The biometric security option is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and the device has a single speaker. The phone operates on Android-based FunTouch OS 14.
