iQOO, the sub-brand of Vivo that makes premium smartphones, launched the iQOO 7 5G smartphone in the Indian market back in April. At the time, the device was announced in two color options — Solid Ice Blue and Storm Black.

A few days ago, the company has announced a third color option in the market — Monster Orange. Now, this new iQOO 7 5G in Monster Orange color is available for purchase in India through Amazon and iQOO.com for a price of ₹31,990 (~$430) that offers 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage variant.

As a part of Amazon’s Prime Day launch offers, the company is providing flat ₹2,000 off with Amazon coupons as well as a 6-month screen replacement. Customers with HDFC Credit or Debit Card can also get a 10 percent instant discount.

The specifications of the smartphone remain the same. It features a 6.62-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that offers 2400 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 20:9 aspect ratio, HDR10+ support, up to 1,300 nits brightness, and MEMC.

Underneath, the device comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 octa-core processor. Although it comes with a maximum memory of 12GB, this Monster Orange color variant offers only a single model which packs 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The phone also supports a liquid cooling system and 6000mm² graphite board that reduces the temperature by up to 11 percent.

Vivo’s independent iQOO brand will soon launch a new color variant of the flagship iQOO 7 in India. The iQOO 7 was first launched in India in April this year. Just a few days back, the company released a teaser on Twitter that shows that a new variant of the iQOO 7 was on the way but the poster didn’t specify the change that will be onboard the new variant. It has now emerged that the new variant will be a Monster Orange color option. The new variant will join the Storm Black and Solid Ice Blue color options with which the flagship device was launched.

This bit was shared on Twitter by noted tipster Ishan Agarwal. The tipster hinted that the new variant will be available during the Amazon Prime Day sale which will hold on July 26 and July 27. The new variant will be available in 8GB+128GB memory configuration and 12GB+256GB options.  There is no word yet on the pricing but we don’t expect it to be any different from the two existing color variants.

As a reminder, the iQOO 7 features a 6.62-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels (FHD+). The display also packs a 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. It also supports 1300 nits peak brightness level, 6000000:1 contrast ratio, and HDR10+.

The Monster is awake and ready to lit up the whole town.

Stay tuned for the all new avatar of iQOO 7.
