Last year, iQOO into India with one so-called smartphone iQOO 3. Despite being powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, the handset was announced in 4G and 5G versions. It has been a year since this device started in the country but the brand has not announced any other model so far. However, it has dropped the price of the iQOO 3 several times. In fact, the phone now starts at just ₹ 24,990 ($ 340).
For those unfamiliar, iQOO is an independent brand, formerly a series of performance-based smartphones with vivo. Suddenly, just like POCO and Xiaomi, vivo shares its resources with iQOO.
The brand entered India with no connection to vivo India, which has been operating in the country for years. For that reason, iQOO India could not be a new player to market its device enough on its own.
In addition, the phone is plagued by bad software, according to reviewers and users. Also, although it was part of the Android 11 Beta program, has not yet received the permanent update.
Further, since the majority of smartphone sales in India take place below the $ 250 segment, it was difficult for a newcomer like iQOO to sell a $ 500 + handset. As a result, he had to cut down the price many times.
For that reason, the device is currently selling for the prices below its official online sales partner Flipkart.
