iQoo 3 is set to launch in India soon, the brand revealed in a press note on Thursday. The brand, which had announced its arrival in the country last month, has also revealed the name of the phone. Additionally, it mentioned that the iQoo 3 would be available for purchase in the Indian market through Flipkart and the dedicated iQoo website later this month. The iQoo 3 is also scheduled to arrive in China on February 25. The smartphone is projected as a premium offering to compete with the flagships of OnePlus, Huawei, and Xiaomi. The India launch date of the iQoo 3 is unclear at the moment. 

Touted to debut with a distinct proposition in the premium smartphone segment, the iQoo 3 will come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, the brand said in a press statement. The smartphone is also touted to feature an “enhanced” camera and “long-lasting” battery life as well as deliver an “unmatched” gaming experience.

iQoo 3 specifications (expected)

Apart from the jargon, iQoo hasn't provided any details around the new smartphone. Some recent teasers posted on Weibo, however, revealed that the iQoo 3 will sport a quad rear camera setup with a 48-megapixel primary sensor and include UFS 3.1 storage.

Purported live images of the iQoo 3 also suggested a hole-punch display design along with an in-display fingerprint sensor. Further, the smartphone is likely to have as much as up to 12GB of RAM and could come with 55W fast charging support.

“The brand new iQoo 3 is built to satisfy the high-performance requirements of technology-savvy consumers and we truly believe that this will elevate the user's smartphone experience,” said Aditya Soni - Senior Director, Mobiles at Flipkart, while highlighting the partnership with iQoo in the joint statement.

Additionally, Flipkart is teasing iQoo 3 through a couple of microsites. Both microsites highlighted performance-focussed features of the new smartphone alongside specifying February 17 as a date for some kind of revelation.

Last month, iQoo announced its debut in India with the 5G flagship that will emerge as the iQoo 3. iQoo India Director - Marketing Gagan Arora in a conversation with Gadgets 360 had said that the first smartphone model by the company would run Android 10 out-of-the-box -- with a localised interface on top.

iQoo initially entered the smartphone market as a sub-brand of Vivo last year. However, the India part of the brand doesn't want to be associated with the Chinese company and is set up as a separate legal entity in the country. The brand would leverage Vivo's manufacturing facility, though.

India launch of the iQoo 3 is expected to take place after the phone debuts in China on February 25. The company revealed the China launch schedule through a teaser recently posted on Weibo.
