The iQOO 5 Pro model received a more interesting photographic set, with a 50-megapixel main matrix and an optically stabilized lens with f/1.85. The wide-angle camera is similar to the base model, and instead of the portrait module, we have a periscope zoom. The 8 Mpx matrix works with a lens that gives a 5x optical zoom and digital zoom up to 60x. Interestingly, the Pro variant received a smaller battery - 4000 mAh. It has a super fast 120 W charge that will fill the battery in a quarter of an hour. The smartphone has a bold colour scheme, inspired by sports versions of BMW cars.
