After launching the iQOO 3 in India earlier last year, Vivo’s gaming-centric sub-brand took a prolonged hiatus from the market. More than a year later, the company is now back with the iQOO 7 flagship series in the country. The standard iQOO 7 comes with the Snapdragon 870 chipset while the iQOO 7 Legend is the flagship Snapdragon 888-powered smartphone of the lineup.
iQOO first launched the iQOO 7 series in China back in January earlier this year. The iQOO 7 BMW M Motorsport Edition has been rebranded as the iQOO 7 Legend for the Indian market. So, apart from a fancy race-track design on the rear, what do you have in store?
Turning our attention to the rear, the triple camera setup here includes a 48MP Sony IMX589 primary camera, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 13MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. The telephoto camera supports up to 20x digital zoom as well.
The standard iQOO 7 is not the same as the Legend variant. Instead, the iQOO 7 is a rebranded variant of the iQOO 5 Neo, which launched in China back in March. There are a few similarities between the standard and Legend variant.
As far as similarities go, the iQOO 7 also sports a primary 48MP Sony IMX598 sensor and 13MP ultra-wide lens with a 120-degree FOV. The telephoto lens on the iQOO 7 Legend is swapped out with a 2MP depth sensor on the standard variant here.
iQOO 7 is priced starting at Rs. 31,990 for the 8GB+128GB base variant. The high-end 8GB+256GB and 12GB+256GB variants are priced at Rs. 33,990 and Rs. 35,990 in India respectively.
