Vivo has refreshed its smartphone business with the arrival of the iQOO smartphone lineup. iQOO serves as a gaming or hardware-centric smartphone lineup. Also, devices coming under iQOO branding are more cost-effective than those coming under the Vivo moniker. The company already released a bunch of iQOO smartphones under competitive pricing segments with cutting-edge hardware. The company has a strong presence in China and is building a solid one in India. Now, the company is gearing up to bring the iQOO Z lineup in a bid to increase its popularity in the Asian market. According to the popular tipster Mukul Sharma, the first device reaching India will be the iQOO Z3 5G.
The iQOO Z3 5G is coming to India as an Amazon exclusive
According to the tipster, the iQOO Z3 5G will be the first smartphone coming to the market. Apparently, the device will hit the Indian market between June 10th and June 15th. Moreover, the tipster states that the first device in the Z series will be an Amazon exclusive. This is interesting since we can easily spot strong competition between e-commerce giants Amazon and Flipkart in India.
[Exclusive] I can now confirm that iQOO is indeed bringing its Z "series" in India. The first device in the lineup is right around the corner, will launch in mid June and will be an Amazon Special device.

We usually see these giant stores fighting to get exclusivity or at least temporary exclusivity of certain smartphones. Besides the iQOO Z3 5G, iQOO also plans on releasing more smartphones in the country under the Z series. Unfortunately, he didn’t reveal anything about the specifications of the handset. Since June is about to start we can expect more details in the coming weeks.
iQOO Z3 5G Specifications
For those unaware, the iQOO Z3 5G reached the Chinese market in March. The device boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G 5G chipset. It was one of the first smartphones to bring back this forgotten Snapdragon chip that is a slightly overclocked SD765G. The device is available with 8GB of RAM and 256 GB of Internal Storage.
It also comes with a 6.58-inch LCD with FHD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch that houses a 16MP selfie snapper. The panel also offers a 120Hz refresh rate and covers 96% of the NTSC color gamut.
