The vivo iQOO Z3 5G has been official for over two months in China, and it now embarks on its trip around overseas markets. The first stop is India, where the phone was announced with an aggressive starting price of INR 19,990 (US$ 275).
This buys you a Snapdragon 768G with an advanced cooling system and a 120Hz 6.58” LCD of Full HD+ resolution. In India the phone will be available in three memory combos - 6/128GB, 8/128GB, and 8/256GB.
Other highlights include 55W fast charging and a 64MP main camera with autofocus. The iQOO Z3 5G is offered in Black or Gradient colors and will start selling today, June 8. There are some offers from ICICI Bank and Amazon that can lower the price down to INR17,490, but this is only for the base variant - with more storage and RAM the price goes up to INR21,990 at most - that’s around $300/€250.
