iQOO U1x — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

Introduction

The iQOO U1x, announced in China in October 2020, is the cheaper sibling of the iQOO U1 — and the price cut shows in exactly the places you would expect. The Snapdragon 720G becomes a Snapdragon 662, the FHD+ display drops to HD+, and the 48MP main camera becomes a 13MP unit. In exchange you get a bigger 5000mAh battery at an even lower launch price (roughly Rs. 10,000–13,000 equivalent in China). Like the U1, it never left China — this guide covers its full specifications and the import reality for Pakistani buyers.

iQOO has never officially launched in Pakistan, so every iQOO U1x 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

164.41 x 76.32 x 8.41 mm, 192.3 g, with a waterdrop notch and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Colours: Secret Black and Morning Frost. Glass front, plastic back and frame — honest budget construction.

Display Features

6.51-inch HD+ IPS LCD at 720 x 1600 (~269 ppi), 20:9. This is the biggest visible compromise: text and icons are noticeably less sharp than on the U1's FHD+ panel. Fine for calls, WhatsApp, and casual video, but not a screen for readers or anyone sensitive to pixelation.

Processor and Performance

Snapdragon 662 (11nm): 4x 2.0GHz Kryo 260 Gold + 4x 1.8GHz Kryo 260 Silver, Adreno 610. A genuine budget chip — fine for social apps, YouTube, and light games, but it will stutter on heavier titles and multitasking compared with the U1's 720G. Match your expectations to the price.

RAM and Storage

4GB or 6GB LPDDR4x RAM with 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. No card slot on most spec sheets (one secondary source lists up to 256GB expansion — conflict noted; treat expansion as unconfirmed). The 6GB+128GB variant is the only one worth considering today.

Camera Features

Triple rear: 13MP main (f/2.2, PDAF) + 2MP depth (f/2.4) + 2MP macro (f/2.4). Front: 8MP (f/1.8). Rear video tops out at 1080p at 30fps — no 4K here. Daylight shots are acceptable for social sharing; beyond that, keep expectations low.

Battery and Charging

5000mAh with 18W fast charging — the one area where the U1x beats its bigger sibling. Two-day light use is realistic on a healthy cell; a used 2020 unit will deliver less.

Software and Updates

Android 10 with iQOO UI 1.0 at launch; official support is over. Treat the software as frozen.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Dual nano-SIM, 4G LTE only, Wi-Fi 5-class dual-band, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/BeiDou, microUSB port, 3.5mm headphone jack. No NFC. Side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Variants, Colours and Availability

RAM/storage: 4GB+64GB, 6GB+64GB, 6GB+128GB. Colours: Secret Black, Morning Frost. China-market only.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

Price in Pakistan: no verified current price exists — a China-only 2020 budget model, long discontinued, circulating only as used/import stock. Confirm the live price and condition with the store; the catalog figure is for reference only, not a current market price.

PTA: imported units need individual PTA/DIRBS registration, taxed per device and per IMEI. Verify the specific unit's status before paying. What is PTA approval? and how to check PTA approval explain the process.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Key advantages

• 5000mAh battery with 18W charging — two-day light use is realistic
• Snapdragon 662 handles everyday apps and casual games
• Side fingerprint sensor and 3.5mm headphone jack
• Very cheap as a used import
• Compact-ish and light for a 5000mAh phone

Key limitations

• HD+ display at ~269 ppi is visibly soft
• 13MP main camera is a big step down from the U1's 48MP; no 4K video
• 4G only, microUSB, no NFC
• No official warranty; PTA tax applies per unit
• Stuck on Android 10 with no updates

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Only makes sense as a rock-bottom-budget secondary phone — hotspot device, delivery-rider phone, or a first phone for a child. Anyone who can stretch to a used U1 gets a meaningfully better screen, chip, and camera.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the iQOO U1x price in Pakistan?

There is no verified current price; it is a China-only 2020 model sold used or as import stock. Confirm the live price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery.

What is the difference between the iQOO U1 and U1x?

The U1x downgrades the chip (SD 662 vs SD 720G), the display (HD+ vs FHD+), and the main camera (13MP vs 48MP), but gains a bigger 5000mAh battery and a lower price.

Does the iQOO U1x support 5G?

No — 4G LTE only.

Does it have a fingerprint sensor?

Yes, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, plus face unlock.

What are its RAM and storage options?

4GB+64GB, 6GB+64GB, and 6GB+128GB (UFS 2.1); microSD expansion is unconfirmed — treat as unsupported.

Is it PTA approved?

Only if the individual unit was registered — verify each unit's IMEI before buying.

Does it support fast charging?

Yes, 18W wired fast charging over microUSB.

Is the display good enough?

At 720x1600 on 6.51 inches (~269 ppi) it is visibly soft. Fine for calls and messaging; not ideal for reading or video-heavy use.

Final Verdict

The U1x is a classic 'pay less, get noticeably less' budget phone. Its 5000mAh battery is the saving grace, but the HD+ screen and 13MP camera make the used U1 a smarter buy at a small premium. Buy only if the price is genuinely low and the unit's PTA status checks out.
