In July, iQOO hosted a launch event in China to announce the iQOO U1 smartphone. It has been months since the phone debuted. Now, reports have it that the firm is planning to launch a lower variant of the smartphone.

The company has named the lower model as the iQOO U1x. The upcoming iQOO U1x listing is already on some retail platforms like Tmall and JD.com. So, we are aware of some of the specs and features of the phone.

According to the information released, the iQOO U1x would arrive in 4GB / 6GB RAM variants and 64GB / 128GB storage options.

The iQOO U1x is listed in variants like 4GB RAM + 64GB storage, 6GB RAM + 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage.

Out of the box, the Snapdragon 662 mobile platform chipset would power the iQOO U1x. The phone is not 5G-ready so, it supports the existing 4G connectivity.

The leaked renders show that the smartphone would feature a waterdrop notch display and a side-facing fingerprint reader.

The listing also mentions that the smartphone would feature a 5,000mAh battery. The report did not state whether the phone would support fast charging features. However, it may debut with fast charging capabilities.

Already, the iQOO U1x smartphone is available for reservation even though its pricing details remain a mystery.

The company has scheduled its pre-sales to begin on October 21, and it would officially debut on November 1.

The iQOO U1x would arrive in light black and morning forest colour choices.
