With his new mobile, which is the iQOO Z1X, the Chinese firm is vindicated in this, since it is presented as the cheapest to offer support for 5G networks and to be equipped with a 120 Hz refresh rate screen.
This device makes use of mid-range features and technical specifications, which are mainly powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765G processor chipset. Both because of this SoC and the panel, we are talking about a specialized terminal for games.
Everything about the iQOO Z1x, a mid-range that promises a lot
At the design level, we received the iQOO Z1x as a phone without great news. However, this does not make it unattractive. This one features fairly cropped bezels that hold a 6.57-inch IPS LCD screen with FullHD + resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10 compatibility and a hole that houses a 16 MP selfie sensor with f / 2.0 aperture. According to official measurements, the screen covers 90,4% of the front.

The processor that lives under the hood of the iQOO Z1x is the well-known Snapdragon 765G from Qualcomm. This eight-core chipset works at a maximum clock frequency of 2.4 GHz and is coupled with an Adreno 620 GPU. The RAM memory that we find together with the SoC is 6/8 GB, while the storage space that is available It is 64/128/256 GB. The battery, on the other hand, consists of a large capacity of 5.000 mAh to offer, without any problem, an autonomy of more than a day with an average use.

Of course, we have other features such as facial recognition and fingerprint reader, but the latter not on the back, which is what we are used to, but on the side of the device, something that for many is more comfortable. Nor can we forget the 5G connectivity of this device, which is something provided by the aforementioned SDM765G chipset. It is worth noting again that this is the cheapest 5G phone with a 120 Hz screen. We detail its price below.
