After launching the iQOO U5x about two months ago, iQOO is back with a new U-series smartphone. It is called the iQOO U5e and as you would expect, it is a lot similar to the previous model. There are only a few differences here and there that make it different and also explain the bump in pricing.
The iQOO U5e sports a 6.5-inch HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) LCD display with a dotted notch. There is no high refresh rate support as we have seen on many other phones. Under the hood, it has the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor coupled with 4GB and 6GB of RAM. Both configuration variants have the same 128GB onboard storage with support for microSD cards.
There is a dual rear camera setup featuring a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. The front camera on the phone is an 8-megapixel sensor. There is a 5,000mAh battery supported by 18W fast charging. It will boot OriginOS based on Android 11 out of the box. Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and USB Type-C port.
The iQOO U5e is priced at CNY 1,399 (about $208) for 4GB/128GB and CNY 1,499 (about $224) for the 6GB/128GB model. The color options include Silver White and Dark Blue.
