Earlier this year, Vivo’s offshoot iQOO launched its U3x entry-level handset as the cheapest smartphone with a high refresh rate display. Now, the company has announced a new variant of the handset with a 4G MediaTek chipset, some toned-down specs, and a cheaper price tag. It is called the iQOO U3x Standard Edition.
In terms of design, the phone does not look anything like its sibling. It comes with a rectangular camera aisle and a paint job the mimics the rays of lights.
The display is a 6.51-inch LCD panel with a 720p resolution and a 60 Hz refresh rate. For comparison, the Snapdragon variant of the phone comes with a tall 6.58-inch LCD with an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate.
The smartphone is powered by MediaTek’s Helio G80 processor and is available in two memory configurations:
The device runs Origin OS based on Android 11 and comes with Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band Wi-Fi.
It comes with a dual main camera setup that includes a 13 MP sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor for the bokeh effect. This camera is capable of recording 1080p videos at 30 and 60 FPS. The front camera is an 8MP snapper.
The handset packs a 5000 mAh battery and supports 18W fast charging. It comes with a micro-USB port instead of a USB-C port.
iQOO U3x Standard Edition is available for sale in China and the base model costs $140.
