The design appears similar to the Chinese version of the handset. The Indian variant will likely share similar specifications to its Chinese counterpart as well. The iQoo Z9x 5G was recently spotted on the company India website.

iQoo India CEO Nipun Marya shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) confirming that the iQoo Z9x 5G will launch in India on May 16.
