iQOO Pro — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

Introduction

The iQOO Pro from August 2019 is the phone that put iQOO on the map as vivo's performance sub-brand: a Snapdragon 855+ flagship sold at a price that undercut the mainstream flagships of its day. With a 6.41-inch Super AMOLED display, 4500mAh battery with 44W charging, and a 48MP triple camera, it was a gaming-first device with the light-up Monster branding that became iQOO's signature. Years later it circulates only as used or import stock in Pakistan — this guide covers its full specifications, what a used unit costs, and the PTA rules that apply.

iQOO has never officially launched in Pakistan, so every iQOO Pro sold locally is an import kit from another market (usually China). That means there is no official Pakistani price, no local warranty, and the device must pass through PTA/DIRBS registration with the tax applying per device and per IMEI — never assume that one unit's status applies to another.

Design and Build Quality

The iQOO Pro measures 158.8 x 75.7 x 9.3 mm and weighs 215 g — chunky by 2019 standards, partly thanks to the big battery and the glowing 'Monster' light strip on the back. Colours were Black and Blue. The waterdrop notch and thick-ish bezels date it visually, but the in-display optical fingerprint sensor was flagship-grade for its time.

Display Features

A 6.41-inch Super AMOLED panel at 1080 x 2340 (~402 ppi), 19.5:9, with a 60Hz refresh rate — standard for 2019, though it will feel less smooth than any modern 90/120Hz phone. Colours and contrast are AMOLED-class, and it is perfectly serviceable for video and everyday use. HDR support was not officially confirmed for this model.

Processor and Performance

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ (7nm) — an overclocked 855 with a 2.96GHz Kryo 485 prime core and a faster Adreno 640 — made this phone genuinely faster than most 2019 flagships. In 2026 it still handles daily apps, social media, and older games smoothly, but it cannot match modern mid-range chips in efficiency or sustained heavy-load performance. These are chip-level facts, not fresh benchmark runs.

RAM and Storage

8GB or 12GB of RAM with 128GB of UFS 3.0 storage; some markets also saw 256GB. No microSD slot. The UFS 3.0 storage is still fast by the standards of budget phones sold today.

Camera Features

Triple rear: 48MP main (Sony IMX582-class, f/1.8, PDAF) + 13MP ultra-wide (f/2.2) + 2MP depth (f/2.4). Front: 12MP (f/2.0). Rear video reaches 4K at 30/60fps. By today's standards the main sensor is small and low-light results are modest, but daylight photos are respectable. Do not expect the computational photography of a 2024–2026 phone.

Battery and Charging

4500mAh with 44W wired flash charging — a standout figure in 2019, and still decent. No wireless charging. After six-plus years, any unit you buy today will have a battery with significant wear; budget for a battery replacement or noticeably shorter screen-on time.

Software and Updates

It launched on Android 9 (Pie) with Funtouch 9.1. Official update support ended years ago — do not expect security patches on any unit you find today. For online banking or payments, that age matters more than raw performance.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Dual nano-SIM, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG, and a 3.5mm headphone jack with Hi-Res audio. GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo positioning. Note: this is the standard 4G iQOO Pro — the separately sold iQOO Pro 5G is a different model.

Variants, Colours and Availability

RAM/storage: 8GB+128GB, 12GB+128GB (256GB in some markets). Colours: Black, Blue. Long discontinued; Pakistan stock is used/import only.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

Price in Pakistan: there is no verified current market price for the iQOO Pro — it is a 2019, discontinued model that now circulates only as used or import stock, and listings are inconsistent. Do not trust any single online figure; confirm the live price and the exact unit's condition with the store before buying. The catalog figure is for reference only, not a current market price.

PTA: used import units each need individual PTA/DIRBS registration, taxed per device and per IMEI. Ask the seller to show the unit's current status before you pay. What is PTA approval? and how to check PTA approval explain the process.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Key advantages

• Snapdragon 855+ — still quick for daily use and older games
• Super AMOLED display with in-display fingerprint sensor
• 4500mAh battery with 44W charging was flagship-class in 2019
• Keeps the 3.5mm headphone jack and NFC
• Used prices are typically very low for a former flagship

Key limitations

• Software is stuck on an unsupported Android — security risk for banking
• No official launch or warranty in Pakistan; PTA tax applies per unit
• Battery on any 2019 unit will be heavily worn
• 60Hz display and dated waterdrop design
• Cameras are far behind any modern phone at a similar price

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Consider it only as a cheap used secondary phone or a retro-gaming toy — the 855+ still runs emulators and older titles well. Do not buy it as a primary daily driver: the dead software support, worn battery, and PTA cost make newer budget phones a safer choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of the iQOO Pro in Pakistan?

There is no verified current price — it is a discontinued 2019 model sold only used or as import stock. Confirm the live price and condition with Zohaan Mobile Gallery.

Which processor does the iQOO Pro use?

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ (7nm) with Adreno 640 GPU, paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM.

No — the standard iQOO Pro is a 4G phone. A separate iQOO Pro 5G model exists; make sure the listing matches the model you are buying.

What cameras does it have?

48MP main (f/1.8) + 13MP ultra-wide (f/2.2) + 2MP depth on the back, and a 12MP front camera.

Does it still get software updates?

Is it PTA approved?

Only if the specific unit was registered — PTA status is per device and per IMEI. Verify before buying.

Is the battery replaceable?

The 4500mAh battery is non-removable; any 2019 unit will show wear, so factor in a replacement or shorter battery life.

Where can I find a used iQOO Pro in Rahim Yar Khan?

Zohaan Mobile Gallery deals in used and import phones — check current used stock on WhatsApp or visit Shop No. 6, First Floor, Iqra Plaza, Railway Road, Rahim Yar Khan.

Final Verdict

The iQOO Pro was a landmark 2019 performance phone, and the Snapdragon 855+ keeps it usable as a secondary device in 2026. But as a primary phone it is out of time: dead software support and worn batteries are deal-breakers. Buy it cheap, verify its PTA status, and do not spend flagship money on it.
