Vivo iQOO Pro 5G is currently the cheapest 5G flagship in China. The phone is unsurprisingly selling pretty and taking advantage of this high demand, Vivo has decided to give consumers another storage option. The company announced today that it is adding a 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant for the iQOO Pro 5G in China for 4498 Yuan (~$636).
This new top-end variant with 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM is 400 Yuan (~$57) more expensive than the previous best version that featured 12GB RAM and 128GB storage (4098 Yuan). Also, this top-end storage model is available in just one color option for now: Racing Black. The other variants have an additional Le Mans Blue color option.
Vivo’s iQOO series has always offered tremendous value for money. And considering how this top-end variant with 5G support retails for under $650, it’s clearly one of the cheapest high-end 5G flagships in China right now. Along with 5G, the phone comes with premium features such as Snapdragon 855+, screen fingerprint, a large 4500mAh battery with 44W fast charging and a 48MP triple camera setup.
The phone’s competitors in China like the Axon 10 Pro 5G (4999 Yuan ~ $720) and the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G (6199 Yuan ~ $900) are significantly more expensive. In comparison, the iQOO PRo 5G starts at around $537 for its 8GB + 128GB variant.
