iQOO is going back and forth in pricing its first smartphone, the iQOO 3, in India. The flagship smartphone launched at Rs. 36,990 in India back in February, but it recently received a price bump due to the GST tax rate hike. And now, Vivo’s gaming-focused smartphone brand has announced a permanent price cut for the iQOO 3.

  • launch price: Rs. 36,990

  • old price: Rs. 38,990

  • new price: Rs. 34,990

  • launch price: Rs. 39,990

  • old price: Rs. 41,990

  • new price: Rs. 37,990

  • launch price: Rs. 44,990

  • old price: Rs. 46,990

  • new price: Rs. 44,990

While both the 4G variants are now marked lower than their launch prices, iQOO 3 5G is again priced at Rs. 44,990 – its launch price in India. Now, you must be wondering, why the permanent price cut?
