The Vivo iQOO 3 5G also comes with 55W Super Flash Charge capabilities – the brand claims it can top the 4440mAh battery up to 50% in just 15 minutes. The user interface of the phone is called iQOO UI 1.0, based on Android 10, and brings along Ultra Game Mode that lets you block notifications and calls when gaming to minimize distractions.
It also sports two shoulder keys, which the company calls Monster Touch buttons. There is 4D game vibrations that simulate recoil when shooting a gun while gaming.
