iQOO Z3 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

Introduction

The iQOO Z3 launched in India on June 8, 2021 as the country’s first Snapdragon 768G phone — iQOO’s opening shot in the budget 5G segment, built around 120 Hz gaming, 55 W charging and a 64 MP Samsung camera. Five years on, it exists in Pakistan only as a used import.

The iqoo z3 price in pakistan question has no official answer — iQOO never launched it here. Every unit is a used import priced by condition.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

The Z3 measures 163.95 x 75.30 x 8.50 mm and weighs 185.5 g, with Panda glass over the display and a plastic body. Indian colours were Ace Black and Cyber Blue; Chinese units added gradient finishes.

A side-mounted fingerprint sensor and waterdrop notch date the design to 2021, but the phone stays practical: a 3.5 mm headphone jack, hybrid microSD slot and 4D game vibration for haptics during gaming.

On a used unit, check the charging port, side sensor and the display for the usual 2021-era wear — and confirm which regional variant you are holding, since Chinese and Indian colours differ.

Display Features

The 6.58-inch IPS LCD runs at FHD+ (2408 x 1080) with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 180 Hz touch sampling and HDR10 with DCI-P3 colour — a gaming-oriented panel for 2021. Launch coverage also cited 1300 nits brightness, though that figure should be treated as a reported claim rather than fact.

In 2026 the panel is smooth but dim and low-contrast next to modern displays. Check for backlight issues and touch dead-zones on any used purchase.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 768G (7 nm EUV) — a 2.8 GHz overclocked sibling of the 765G with Adreno 620 — was a 2021 mid-range gaming pick, paired with a five-layer liquid cooling system that iQOO claimed cut temperatures by 10°C.

In 2026 it handles everyday apps and light gaming but is several generations old. The Z3’s real differentiator over the Z1x was this chip plus the faster charging — both now historical footnotes for a used buyer.

RAM and Storage

Configurations were 6 GB + 128 GB, 8 GB + 128 GB and 8 GB + 256 GB (LPDDR4X + UFS 2.2), with 3 GB of extended/virtual RAM and a hybrid microSD slot supporting up to 1 TB — a genuine advantage over the Z1x and Z5, which lacked expansion.

For used buyers, the microSD slot is the Z3’s practical edge: even a 128 GB unit stays usable with cheap expandable storage.

Camera Features

The triple rear setup — 64 MP Samsung ISOCELL GW3 main (f/1.79, EIS), 8 MP ultrawide (120°) and 2 MP macro — was competitive in 2021, with 4K@60fps video and features like super-night mode and 10x digital zoom.

The 16 MP waterdrop front camera is dated but functional. By 2026 standards the cameras are entry-level: fine for daylight snaps, weak at night, and the macro lens is a filler.

Battery and Charging

The 4400 mAh battery is small by today’s standards, and on a used unit the remaining health is the key unknown — test real-world drain before buying.

55 W FlashCharge was the Z3’s party trick: 50% in 19 minutes and a full charge in under an hour per iQOO’s claims. Fast top-ups partly compensate for the modest capacity, provided the battery is still healthy.

Software and Updates

The Z3 launched on Android 11 with Funtouch OS 11.1. In 2026 it is effectively end-of-support — no current security patches — which is a genuine concern for banking apps and a primary device.

Treat any Z3 as a secondary or backup phone, and verify the installed software build on the actual unit before purchase.

Connectivity and Additional Features

5G SA/NSA (n77/n78 on Indian units), 4G VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS and USB-C cover the essentials. The All-Scenario antenna design claimed 25% stronger 5G upload signal.

NFC was not officially confirmed, and 5G bands are India/China-market — verify carrier compatibility with the seller, especially on a used import.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Verified variants: 6 GB + 128 GB (₹19,990), 8 GB + 128 GB (₹20,990), 8 GB + 256 GB (₹22,990) at India launch. Colours: Ace Black, Cyber Blue in India. Note the naming trap: the iQOO Z3 is unrelated to the much older iQOO 3 — different phone, different series.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

There is no official Pakistan price — the Z3 was never sold here. India launch prices were ₹19,990 / ₹20,990 / ₹22,990 — historical 2021 references, not price guides. It trades in Pakistan only as a used import, priced by condition and PTA status. The store’s catalog reference price is from the 2026-10-01 import and is not a verified market price.

PTA/DIRBS registration applies to imports — verify the IMEI by SMS to 8484 before buying. Cheap non-PTA used units carry the tax as a hidden cost.

Who Should Consider This Phone?

The Z3 suits bargain hunters wanting a cheap used phone with fast charging, an ultrawide camera and expandable storage as a secondary device — its microSD slot and 55 W charging are the reasons to pick it over the Z1x. It is not a primary-device recommendation in 2026: the closed software window and aged battery rule that out.

Final Verdict and Call to Action

The iQOO Z3 was a 2021 gaming-value standout — Snapdragon 768G, 120 Hz display, 64 MP camera and 55 W charging — and its microSD slot and fast charging still give it a used-market niche. In 2026 it is a secondary-device buy only: end-of-support software, an aged 4400 mAh battery and import-only PTA realities demand a hands-on check.
