iQOO has revised the price of its flagship iQOO 3 in India and it starts from Rs 34,990 after the price drop. The iQOO 3 was launched in February this year at a starting price of Rs 38,990 and comes in both 4G and 5G variants. It will be available in two colours– Quantum Silver and Tornado Black on Flipkart and iQOO India store. Since the delivery of non-essential goods such as mobile phones is currently prohibited by the Indian government, the iQOO 3 will go on sale once the restrictions lift.
iQOO 3 price revision comes after the launch of two high-profile smartphones launches in the world that’s still dealing with a global health crisis. The OnePlus 8 series followed by Apple’s iPhone SE 2020 was announced recently along with their Indian pricing. iQOO takes an advantage over here as it’s offering a 4G variant of its Snapdragon 865 powered smartphone that makes it a rather affordable deal when you look at all the other flagship phones currently available in the country.
