Vivo’s sub-brand just released its flagship phone for mid-2020. Meet the Vivo iQOO 5 and 5 Pro.
Both the Vivo iQOO 5 and 5 Pro are pretty much similar to each other. They share the same 6.56-inch AMOLED screens with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sensitivity. They also have punch-holes on the top left for the 16-megapixel selfie camera.

They also share the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, albeit not the Plus version that the ROG Phone 3 and Legion Phone Duel has.
But being the Pro model, the Vivo iQOO 5 Pro gets to have a faster 120W flash charger, which Vivo claims can provide a 0-100% charge in just 15 minutes. The non-Pro model only has a still-respectable 55W charger. However, the Vivo iQOO 5 gets to have a larger 4,500mAh battery, while the Pro variant settles with 4,000mAh capacity.

The Vivo iQOO 5 Pro sports a 50-megapixel Samsung GN1 sensor, 13-megapixel ultra-wide, and an 8-megapixel periscope lens with 5x optical and 60x hybrid zoom. The iQOO 5 downgrades the telephoto camera to a 13-megapixel portrait lens.
