Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO is expected to launch its first smartphone in India by March. It will be a performance driven phone that could be fueled by the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. While the said phone is expected to debut in China as iQOO 3, there is no word on the name of its Indian version. Vivo has recently filed trademarks for three iQOO product names such as iQOO Pro, iQOO Neo and iQOO Lite with the Intellectual Property India. Probably, the country will be receiving with these names in future.

Among three aforementioned names, iQOO has already launched the iQOO Neo and iQOO Pro smartphone in China last year. It had arrived as a Snapdragon 845 powered device. The iQOO Pro was a Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform driven smartphone.

Rumors have it that the forthcoming Vivo iQOO 3 will a 60Hz refresh rate screen. It is expected to house a punch-hole AMOLED display of 6.44 inches that supports 20:9 aspect ratio and full HD+ resolution.
