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, however, would leverage Vivo’s manufacturing facility. iQOO will be launched in two variants in India, a 4G handset and a handset which supports 5G. The smartphone is projected as a premium offering to compete with the flagships of OnePlus, Huawei, and Xiaomi
