iQOO Z5 is here, it's been only 3 months since iQOO Z3's launch and this is its successor. The number 4 is considered inauspicious so it's directly the Z5 that's launched. at the pricing of 23,999Rs we see a 8GB + 128GB variant and 12GB + 256GB variant is available at Rs 26,999.
At that price, you get a whole lot. in fact, if you buy it with deals, it'll decrease by 2 to 3k. At that price, you're getting a budget flagship.

iQOO Z5 5G in Hand Feel
Coming to the in-hand feeling it's not big nor small, not heavy nor light, so I'd say it's in the sweet spot.
Build Quality - It feels like 185 to 190g, but the actual weight of the device is 195 to 196g. it's slightly higher than what I expected and it means that its weight distribution is good as it doesn't feel too heavy in the hand.
After putting on the case. ut gets even bigger but the case fits very nicely and it looks good as well, look at it. the material used behind in a 3D plastic, I forgot to tell you before.

iQOO Z5 5G Specification
The specification of iQOO Z5 5G tells you about it and what I feel about the specs as well. it comes on Qualcomm SD778 5G SoC, and it's very popular in the Rs 20 to 25k price range. it's probably the best processor that's new and is 5G.
It has an LPDDR5 RAM type, which is generally seen in flagship phones and not in mid-range phones. it also has UFS 3.1, so club SD 778 with UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 RAM. you get an AnTuTu score of 5.7 to 5.8 lakhs.

The battery of iQOO Z5 5G, it has a 5000MAH battery and the SD 778 SoC is based on 6Nm Technology fabrication. so it's a power-efficient processor and 5000MAH is more than enough.
Under moderate usage, it'll last up to 1 and half days. and under heavy usage, it'll last a day easily. you also have 44W fast charging as well so I think the specifications are very good.
You also get Virtual RAM (Extended RAM), so you can increase it by 4GB 8GB will go up to 12GB. There's an exciting thing, in comparison with the Z3's 55W charging, this has a 44W Charging.
But it goes 0 to 50% in 23 minutes and takes an hour to fully recharge your battery.
