iQoo Z9x 5G is set to launch in India on May 16. The company previously confirmed the design and Amazon availability of the Indian variant of the handset, which is similar to its Chinese counterpart. Now, iQoo India has revealed some key specifications of the smartphone, that are also similar to the China variant. The upcoming iQoo Z9x 5G will join the iQoo Z9 5G, which was unveiled in India in March this year.

Several key features of the Indian variant of the iQoo Z9x 5G have been confirmed by the company ahead of its May 16 launch via an Amazon microsite. The phone will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC. It is said to have an AnTuTu score of 560,000, which is claimed to make it the fastest phone in the segment.

In the fine print, the company states that the tests to achieve this score were conducted on an 8GB + 128GB variant.

It will also support up to 1TB of expandable storage via a microSD card.
