Alleged iQOO U3x specs leak reveals 90Hz display, Snapdragon 480, 5,000mAh battery, and more

Earlier this week, iQOO announced the iQOO Neo5 flagship phone in China. Soon after its launch, the company released the first teaser of its upcoming Z-series smartphone, which is speculated to launch as the iQOO Z3. A fresh leak suggests that China may soon receive a 5G-ready iQOO phone with entry-level specs. This may debut in the home market as the iQOO U3x.
 
A reliable tipster from China claimed that the upcoming entry-level iQOO phone is likely to cost around 1,000 Yuan (~$154). At this price, it is expected to offer users major specs like a 90Hz refresh rate screen, Snapdragon 480 chipset, a 5,000mAh battery, and a 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera system. These specifications suggest that it could be a rebadged version of the Vivo Y31s 5G, which launched in January in China.
 
In December 2020, iQOO announces the iQOO U3 smartphone in the home market. It was a rebranded version of the Vivo Y52s 5G. Hence, it is highly likely that the iQOO U3x could also be a rebranded device. It is unclear whether the iQOO Z3 and the iQOO U3x will go official together by the end of March.
 
The Vivo Y31s 5G is equipped with a 6.58-inch LCD panel that delivers a Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the Snapdragon 480 chipset, 4 GB / 6 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. For security, it has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It has a selfie camera of 8-megapixel and its rear camera setup has a 13-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. It has 18W rapid charging support for its 5,000mAh battery.
