Early last year, iQOO was one of the first companies to launch a 5G smartphone in India. The Chinese brand introduced iQOO 3 in the country in both 4G and 5G variants. Almost a year has passed but the firm is yet to release another handset. Thankfully, the situation may improve soon, as per a new rumor.
According to Tushar Mehta of XDA Developers, iQOO, the independent brand of vivo may release two or more devices in India in the coming months starting March. He also suggests that one of them could be the brand’s latest flagship smartphone – iQOO 7.
Anyway, we would request you to consider this piece of information with a pinch of salt. Because Mehta himself says that this is merely a rumor and not a confirmed leak. However, it is worth noting that his previous tips have been accurate.
Additionally, he also says that vivo will not be debuting the vivo X50 Pro+. Instead, the handset maker will be only bringing the vivo X60 series, including the premium vivo X60 Pro+.
That said, vivo was India’s third-largest smartphone brand in Q4 2020. The company was even the largest offline brand during the same period. However, we cannot say anything good about iQOO.
Ever since its launch, iQOO 3 has been discounted multiple times. In fact, its price has been permanently dopped by a high margin. Above all, the handset was part of the Android 11 Beta program but it is yet to receive the stable update.
Having said that, we hope iQOO to make an impressive comeback since it has potential.
