iQOO Z5 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

Introduction

The iQOO Z5 launched in India on September 27, 2021 as the successor to the Z3, upgrading to the Snapdragon 778G, a bigger 6.67-inch 120 Hz display, LPDDR5 RAM and a 5000 mAh battery — while keeping the 64 MP triple camera and adding VC liquid cooling for gaming.

The iqoo z5 price in pakistan question has no official answer — iQOO never launched it here. In 2026 it exists in Pakistan only as a used import priced by condition.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

The Z5 is 8.5 mm thick and weighs 193 g, with a plastic frame and Panda glass over the display. Indian colours were Mystic Space and Arctic Dawn, with a Cyber Grid variant added later; Chinese units had their own finishes.

The punch-hole display and side-mounted fingerprint sensor date it to 2021, but the hardware stays gamer-friendly: dual stereo speakers with Hi-Res Audio, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, 4D game vibration and a large VC cooling plate under the hood.

No IP rating was offered. On a used unit, check the speakers, jack and side sensor — the parts that wear first.

Display Features

The 6.67-inch IPS LCD runs at FHD+ (1080 x 2400) with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling, HDR10 and 100% DCI-P3 colour, peaking around 650 nits. It is the biggest Z-series display of its generation and remains smooth for daily use.

By 2026 standards it is dim next to modern panels, and it is still an LCD — buyers used to AMOLED will notice. Check used units for backlight bleed and touch dead-zones.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 778G (6 nm) with Adreno 642L was one of 2021’s best mid-range chips, and it holds up better than the older 765G/768G for everyday use. iQOO paired it with a 28,837 mm² VC cooling system claimed to cut temperatures by up to 12°C, plus Ultra Game Mode 2.0.

With 8 GB or 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM — faster memory than the Z3’s LPDDR4X — multitasking is comfortable. In 2026 it manages daily apps and moderate gaming, but it is still a 2021 chip: set expectations accordingly.

RAM and Storage

Configurations were 8 GB + 128 GB and 12 GB + 256 GB (LPDDR5 + UFS 3.1), with up to 4 GB of extended RAM. There is no microSD slot, unlike the Z3 — a step back for storage flexibility.

Used buyers should prefer the 12 GB + 256 GB variant: more headroom for 2026-era apps and no way to expand storage later.

Camera Features

The camera hardware mirrors the Z3 — 64 MP main (f/1.79), 8 MP ultrawide (119°), 2 MP macro — with 4K video (4K@60fps reported) and modes like Super Night and Dual-View video. The 16 MP punch-hole front camera is an upgrade over the Z3’s waterdrop unit.

In 2026 this is an entry-level camera system: decent daylight photos, weak night performance, and a filler macro lens. Do not buy the Z5 for its cameras.

Battery and Charging

The 5000 mAh battery with 44 W FlashCharge was a meaningful upgrade over the Z3’s 4400 mAh cell — but on a used unit, remaining health is the critical unknown. Test real-world drain over several hours before buying.

44 W charging is slower than the Z3’s 55 W, a deliberate trade-off iQOO made for the bigger battery. A full charge takes a comfortable but unremarkable amount of time.

Software and Updates

The Z5 launched on Android 11 with Funtouch OS 12. In 2026 it is effectively end-of-support — no current security patches — which rules it out as a primary device for banking and sensitive apps.

Treat it as a secondary or backup phone, and check the installed build on the actual unit before purchase.

Connectivity and Additional Features

5G SA/NSA (n77/n78), 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS/GLONASS/Galileo, USB-C and USB OTG cover the essentials on dual Nano-SIM. NFC was not officially confirmed.

5G bands are India/China-market, so verify carrier compatibility with the seller before paying for a used import.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Verified variants: 8 GB + 128 GB (₹23,990), 12 GB + 256 GB (₹26,990) at India launch. Colours: Mystic Space, Arctic Dawn, plus the later Cyber Grid variant. Note the naming trap: the iQOO Z5 is unrelated to the vivo V-series or any ‘5’ from other brands — verify the exact model number.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

There is no official Pakistan price — the Z5 was never sold here. India launch prices were ₹23,990 / ₹26,990 — 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. Factor the tax into the real cost of any cheap non-PTA unit.

Who Should Consider This Phone?

The Z5 suits used-market bargain hunters who want the best-performing 2021 Z-series phone — the 778G, LPDDR5 and big 120 Hz display make it the pick of the old trio as a secondary device or media phone. It is not a primary-device buy in 2026: the closed software window disqualifies it for banking apps.

Final Verdict and Call to Action

The iQOO Z5 was the best of the 2021 Z trio — Snapdragon 778G, 6.67-inch 120 Hz display, LPDDR5 and a 5000 mAh battery — and remains the most capable used buy of the three. In 2026 it is a secondary-device purchase only: end-of-support software, import-only PTA realities and used-battery risk demand a hands-on check.
