The phone is expected to launch in India with a 6000mAh battery.
However, there is no word on the fast charging speed of the Indian variant of the Z7x 5G.

FAQ’s On IQOO Z7x

The website indicates that the upcoming smartphone will offer 8GB of RAM and run Android 13 OS out of the box.
According to the benchmark results, the smartphone would be powered by a chipset that goes with the model number MT6877V/TZA, which is said to be the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset.
2) How is the camera of IQOO Z7?
Ans) In terms of design, the video reveals the phone’s AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera.
This is a considerable upgrade over the LCD panel on the last-gen iQOO Z6.
The display has a peak brightness of 1,300 nits, according to the video.
The iQOO Z7 5G may use a PMMA-like material on the back, which is technically plastic but leaves a glass-like smooth and glossy finish.
The video highlights that the power and volume keys are placed on the right side of the smartphone, while the rear cameras are placed inside a rectangular module. The camera module has two large cutouts for the dual rear cameras. The phone has a flat-edge design, similar to iPhone 12 and above.
iQOO has also confirmed the iQOO Z7 5G includes MediaTek’s Dimensity 920 SoC, the predecessor of the Dimensity 930 SoC that features on the newly launched Moto G73 5G.

The iQOO Z7 5G reportedly features a 120Hz display with Full-HD+ resolution, a 5,000mAh battery with 44W flash charge technology support, and 5G connectivity. The front may also include a 16-megapixel selfie camera.
