Vivo’s sub-brand for premium smartphones iQOO is debuting in the Indian market with the launch of iQOO 3 5G smartphone on 25th February. Ahead of the phone’s launch, the company has shared several key features and specs of the device.
Now, a new report claims that the iQOO 3 5G will be priced under ₹45,000 in India, which roughly converts to $629 while the 4G variant of the same phone will cost around ₹35,000 which is roughly $489.
As for the smartphone’s availability, it is reported that both the variants of the iQOO 3 smartphone will be available through online marketplace Flipkart as well as through offline stores across the country.
Earlier, it was said that when iQOO launches in India, it will initially sell devices through online channel and later make its way to offline market but looks like the company has reworked its strategy for the Indian market.
The TENAA listing of the iQOO 3 5G has revealed that the phone will come with a 6.44-inch S-AMOLED display with a punch-hole screen that will offer full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2,400 pixels, an aspect ratio of 20:9 and 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the device will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC along with 6/8/12 GB of RAM and could be the first smartphone in the world to arrive with the latest UFS 3.1 storage technology.
It will be running the latest Android 10 operating system out of the box. As for the camera, the device could come with a front-faxing camera of 16-megapixel while the rear shell of the device has a 48-megapixel quad-camera system.
It has been confirmed that the device will come powered by a 4,440mAh battery along with support for 55W ultra-fast flash charge technology. It is claimed to charge the phone up to 50 percent in just 15 minutes.
As mentioned, iQOO 3 is set to debut on 25th February in China as well as India. We are expecting the company to launch a 4G-only variant as well, at least in the Indian market given that the 5G infrastructure deployment is yet to take place in India.
