iQOO Z5x Price in Pakistan & Full Specs
iQOO Z5x — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan
Introduction
The iQOO Z5x launched in China on October 20, 2021 as the affordable MediaTek sibling of the iQOO Z5 — a Dimensity 900 chip, 6.58-inch 120 Hz display, 50 MP dual camera and 5000 mAh battery with 44 W charging, from just CNY 1,599. It never left China.
This guide gives the verified specifications of the iQOO Z5x and honest used-market advice. The iqoo z5x price in pakistan question has no official answer — iQOO never launched it here or in India — so every unit is a used import priced by condition.

Design and Build Quality
The Z5x measures 163.95 x 75.30 x 8.50 mm and weighs 189 g — the lightest of the 2021 Z trio. Finishes were Lens Black, Sandstone Orange and Fog Sea White, with a rectangular camera island and waterdrop notch dating it to 2021.
A side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 3.5 mm headphone jack and microSD slot keep it practical. There is no IP rating, and the plastic build is strictly budget-grade.
The Sandstone Orange finish is the distinctive one — useful for identifying the model at a glance in the used market.
Display Features
The 6.58-inch IPS LCD runs at FHD+ with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling and 401 ppi. Sources disagree slightly on the exact resolution (1080x2400 vs 2408x1080) — both describe the same FHD+ panel, noted here for accuracy.
By 2026 standards it is a basic smooth-scrolling LCD. Check used units for backlight bleed, dead pixels and touch dead-zones before buying.
Processor and Performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 900 (6 nm) with Mali-G68 MC4 was a solid 2021 mid-range chip — roughly in the Snapdragon 778G’s neighbourhood for efficiency, a step behind it for sustained gaming. iQOO added a liquid cooling system and virtual RAM (up to 1.5 GB on 6 GB units, 4 GB on 8 GB units).
In 2026 it handles everyday apps acceptably but is several generations old. The Z5x’s role was always “Z5-like experience for less” — and that value framing is exactly how to judge it as a used buy.
RAM and Storage
Configurations were 6 GB + 128 GB, 8 GB + 128 GB and 8 GB + 256 GB (LPDDR4X + UFS 2.2). Unusually for the Z series, the Z5x includes a microSD card slot — confirmed by launch coverage — which keeps even the 128 GB variants usable.
Prefer 8 GB RAM variants for 2026-era multitasking; the 6 GB + 128 GB base is the minimum worth considering.
Camera Features
The dual rear setup — 50 MP main (f/1.8) and 2 MP macro — is the simplest camera of the 2021 Z family: no ultrawide, no depth sensor, just the main sensor and a macro filler. Daylight photos are acceptable; that is the ceiling.
The 8 MP waterdrop front camera is basic even by 2021 standards. Camera-first buyers should skip the Z5x entirely.
Battery and Charging
The 5000 mAh battery with 44 W charging (58% in 30 minutes per launch reports) was competitive in 2021. On a used unit, remaining health is the key unknown — test drain over several hours before buying.
As the lightest 2021 Z phone with a 5000 mAh cell, the Z5x had the best weight-to-battery ratio of the trio when new.
Software and Updates
The Z5x launched on Android 11 with OriginOS 1.0 for iQOO — notable as one of the early OriginOS phones. In 2026 it is effectively end-of-support with no current security patches, which rules it out as a primary device for banking apps.
Treat it as a secondary or backup phone, and verify the installed build on the actual unit.
Connectivity and Additional Features
5G (n1/n3/n28A/n41/n77/n78), 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS and USB-C cover the essentials on dual Nano-SIM. NFC was not officially confirmed.
These are China-market 5G bands — verify carrier compatibility with the seller before paying for a used import.
Variants, Colours and Availability
Verified variants: 6 GB + 128 GB (CNY 1,599), 8 GB + 128 GB (CNY 1,699), 8 GB + 256 GB (CNY 1,899) at China launch. Colours: Lens Black, Sandstone Orange, Fog Sea White. Note the naming trap: the Z5x is a different, China-only phone from the iQOO Z5 — not just a storage variant.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
There is no official Pakistan price — the Z5x was never sold here or in India. China launch prices were CNY 1,599 / 1,699 / 1,899 (roughly Rs 18,800–22,300 at the time) — historical 2021 references, not price guides. It trades in Pakistan only as a used import. 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.

Final Verdict and Call to Action
The iQOO Z5x was the budget entry to the 2021 Z family — Dimensity 900, 120 Hz display, 5000 mAh battery and a rare microSD slot — with the weakest cameras of the trio as its honest trade-off.
As a used import in 2026 it is a secondary-device bargain only: end-of-support software and China bands demand a careful hands-on check.
