The phone launched with and is currently on Android 13-based Funtouch OS 13, however, the Android 14 update is expected to arrive soon. At launch, iQOO promised 2 major Android updates and three years of security updates. So it is likely that Android 15 could be the last update this device receives.

In the sub-30,000 price range, there are currently a lot of attractive choices like the OnePlus Nord 3 5G, and Nothing Phone (1). People looking for high performance in this range can check out the Nord 3 5G, while if you are more interested in the camera and overall user experience, the Nothing Phone (1) will be a good option.
