Iqoo 7 Teased To Launch Under Rs 40 000 In India Cheapest Snapdragon 888 Phone

Merely hours after OnePlus launched the OnePlus 9 lineup, Vivo’s iQOO announced its plans to bring the iQOO 7 to India. Notably, the company says that it would price the device under Rs.40,000. Once available, the iQOO 7 could be the cheapest 5G phone in India to pack the Snapdragon 888 chipset.

While iQOO has not explicitly mentioned the device name in its announcement tweet, it is safe to assume that the device in question is the iQOO 7. That’s because the company has already launched the device in China. The brand has not revealed the exact launch date yet, but we’ll be updating this post when they do.

What’s better than Bang For The Buck?

Thanks to the Chinese launch, we know the specifications of the upcoming phone. To recall, the device flaunts a 6.62-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 300Hz touch response rate with 2400 x 1080 pixel resolution. You get the Snapdragon 888 chipset, 8/12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 128/256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

In the battery department, the device packs a 4,000mAh battery that supports 120W FlashCharge. With that speed, iQOO claims that you can entirely charge the device in 15 minutes. On the software front, the iQOO 7 runs on Origin OS based on Android 11.
