As you would expect, the panel is HDR10+ compliant and includes an in-display fingerprint sensor as well. iQOO claims the phone is class-leading in terms of performance, thanks to the latest Snapdragon 865 chipset, up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.

In the camera department, the iQOO 3 5G has a quad-camera array at the back with a 48MP main sensor, 13MP telephoto lens with 20x digital zoom, 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. At the front of the phone is a 16MP selfie camera. Keeping the lights on is a 4,440mAh battery with 55W fast charging. iQOO says it takes just under 50 minutes for the phone's battery to be fully charged. The phone will ship with Android 10 out of the box, with the brand's custom iQOO UI layer running on top.
