iQOO 5 Price in Pakistan & Full Specs
iQOO 5 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan
The iQOO 5 launched in August 2020 as iQOO's photography-focused flagship, headlined by a 50MP Samsung GN1 main camera — the same sensor family used in that year's top vivo phones. Like all iQOO phones of its generation, it was never officially launched in Pakistan and is now discontinued, so it survives only in the used/import market. This guide covers its verified specifications, realistic used pricing, and whether a 2020 camera flagship is worth buying in 2026.

Design and Build Quality
The iQOO 5 is a slim, light 2020 flagship at 8.3mm and 197 grams — noticeably more pocketable than the chunky iQOO 3. It came in Blue and Gray with Gorilla Glass 6 protection. The in-display optical fingerprint sensor and stereo speakers with Hi-Fi audio round out a well-built package. As with any six-year-old phone, inspect used units for screen burn-in, frame dents, and worn ports before paying.
Display Features
The 6.56-inch AMOLED panel runs at 1080 x 2376 resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support — a genuine high-refresh display, unlike the iQOO 3's 60Hz panel. Colours cover the DCI-P3 gamut. In 2026 it remains a pleasant screen for media and gaming, though peak brightness can't match modern panels in direct sunlight.
Processor and Performance
The Snapdragon 865 with Adreno 650 still handles everyday tasks smoothly in 2026 — messaging, streaming, browsing, and casual gaming are all fine. Demanding 3D titles will need reduced settings. The bigger concern is software: with no updates for years, app compatibility and security are the real limits, not raw speed.
RAM and Storage
Configurations were 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM with 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and no microSD expansion. On the used market, 8GB + 128GB is most common. That's adequate for typical use, but check the actual storage health and confirm the RAM figure in the phone's settings — used sellers occasionally mislabel variants.
Camera Features
The camera was the iQOO 5's raison d'être: a 50MP Samsung GN1 main sensor (1/1.31-inch, large pixels for its era) with a bright f/1.85 aperture, joined by a 13MP 120° ultra-wide and a 13MP 50mm portrait camera with 2x optical zoom. It shoots 8K video and 4K at 30fps. In good light it still takes likeable photos, but night performance and processing are far behind current phones — even 2026 budget models with modern night modes will outshoot it after dark.
Battery and Charging
A 4,500mAh battery with 55W FlashCharge was competitive in 2020. In 2026, battery degradation is the key issue — most used units will hold noticeably less than the original capacity. The 55W charging needs the original charger to hit full speed, so confirm what's in the box. There is no wireless charging.
Software and Updates
Android 10 with iQOO UI 1.5 at launch, and no official updates since. Years without security patches make this unsuitable as a primary phone for banking or sensitive work. As a secondary media or gaming device, the limitation matters less — but go in with open eyes.
Connectivity and Additional Features
5G SA/NSA, dual nano-SIM, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD, NFC, dual-band GPS, and USB-C. The in-display fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, and Hi-Fi audio certification are all present. No 3.5mm headphone jack on this model — unlike the iQOO 3, you'll need USB-C or Bluetooth audio.
Variants, Colours and Availability
Variants: 8GB + 128GB, 12GB + 128GB, and 12GB + 256GB, in Blue and Gray. Sold in China from August 2020; discontinued worldwide and never launched in Pakistan. Pakistani availability is limited to used imports, and stock is thin — this is a rarer find than the iQOO 3.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
One Pakistani aggregator (electrorates, checked July 2026) listed the iQOO 5 5G at Rs. 161,262 — but that is a dated estimate, not a live market price, and the phone trades only as used imports where condition sets the price. Given its age, any asking price near that figure deserves serious scrutiny against new alternatives. Confirm the actual used price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery before buying.
PTA: Import-only device — PTA tax/duty applies per device and IMEI. SMS the unit's IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" before paying. How to check PTA approval and how to buy a used mobile safely.
Main Advantages and Limitations

- 120Hz AMOLED display with HDR10+
- Snapdragon 865 still smooth for everyday use

Who Should Consider This Phone?
Good fit: camera-curious buyers who want to try a large-sensor 2020 flagship cheaply as a secondary phone — only if a verified-good unit appears at a genuinely low price.
Look elsewhere if: you need a primary phone, security updates, or reliable night photography. New budget and mid-range phones beat it on support and low-light cameras — compare them in the all mobiles collection.

Final Verdict
The iQOO 5 was a fine 2020 camera flagship, but in 2026 it's a niche used buy: no updates, uncertain battery health, and thin local stock. Only consider a verified unit at a low price as a secondary phone — for a primary device, a new phone with warranty and updates is the better use of your money.
