Back in January, iQOO launched the iQOO 7 in China. At that time, the company only debuted two storage variants. Now, three months after the phone’s announcement, the brand has introduced a third storage configuration, which sits between the first two.

Chinese smartphone maker iQOO has launched a new 8GB + 256GB variant of iQOO 7 in its home country. The new version of the handset is priced at ¥3,898 ($597) and is already up for pre-order. Customers who pre-order this variant will get a pair of vivo XE710 earphones for free.

Unfortunately, this storage configuration only comes in standard Latent Blue and Blackland color options like the base 8GB + 128GB valiant that costs ¥3,798 ($581). Anyway, just spending ¥100 more, customers can now get double the storage.

On the other hand, customers interested in the iQOO 7 Legend BMW M Motorsport Edition will have to spend ¥4,198 ($643). Because it only comes in 12GB + 256GB storage configuration.

The new variant of iQOO7 gets released in China before the smartphone’s India launch. It is worth noting that the Indian version of this phone is being teased to cheaper than in China. But it will only support 66W fast charging instead of 120W.
