Alongside the iQOO Z7 introduced in late March, the manufacturer presents an even more budget-friendly model named iQOO Z7x. This device excels in performance for its price, featuring a massive 6000mAh battery and 80W fast charging, making it one of the highest-powered options under 5 million dong, challenging any competing product.
The exterior design of iQOO Z7x draws inspiration from its older sibling, the iQOO Z7. In essence, this design style has been widely adopted by vivo in mid-range products under the iQOO brand introduced last year. The phone boasts a back cover crafted from a beautiful matte plastic material with 3D curved edges, providing a comfortable and secure grip.
iQOO Z7x also offers three color choices like iQOO Z7: orange, black, and blue. The variant in this article is the black version with a hint of deep green, quite eye-catching.
On the back of iQOO Z7X, the most notable feature is the main camera system housed in a sizable camera module, consisting of two lenses: a 50MP wide-angle lens (downscaled from 64MP on the standard Z7) and a somewhat less useful 2MP depth-sensing lens. Despite this, the camera setup is designed not to protrude excessively like flagship models. Below it is the stylized iQOO logo.
The frame of iQOO Z7x boasts a sleek design, crafted from lightweight plastic with gentle curves for a comfortable grip, avoiding any discomfort when held, unlike phones with square edges. This area houses physical buttons, connection ports, speaker strip, microphone, SIM slot, and more.
Moving to the front, vivo equips the iQOO Z7x with a 6.64-inch display, still utilizing an IPS LCD panel with FHD+ resolution and a high 120Hz screen refresh rate. The Z7x's display features a punch-hole design housing an 8MP selfie camera positioned in the center of the top edge.
The screen specifications remain largely unchanged compared to its 'sibling,' the Z7. Of course, due to the IPS LCD panel, the Z7x won't feature an under-display optical fingerprint sensor. Instead, it opts for a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button on the right side.
In terms of performance, the iQOO Z7x is equipped with the Snapdragon 695 chip, a 5G-capable processor with decent performance, widely favored in the mid-range segment and now brought to the sub-5 million VND price range by iQOO. The device comes with three memory options: 128GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM, and 256GB 8GB RAM.
The iQOO Z7x houses a 6000mAh battery, an upgrade from the 5000mAh battery in the iQOO Z7, although the fast charging power is reduced to 80W. Charging the device to 100% takes only about 45-48 minutes. The package includes a charging brick with vivo's generous 80W fast charging technology. The phone runs on Android 13 with the exclusive Origin OS 3 interface tailored for the Chinese market.
Regarding the price, the iQOO Z7x hits the shelves in China with a starting price of only 1299 CNY, approximately 4.45 million VND. The 'max option' variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is priced at 1499 CNY, equivalent to 5.12 million VND. Unfortunately, this product is not officially available in the Vietnamese market at the moment.
