iQOO to sell its products through offline channels in India starting next month

iQOO entered the Indian market in 2020 with the launch of iQOO 3, and it has sold all its products launched in India until now through its official website and Amazon.in. However, a Gadgets360 report claims the vivo sub-brand is set to enter India's offline market next month.

Citing "reliable sources," the publication claims that iQOO will enter India's offline market through vivo-exclusive stores and other retail channels, allowing customers to get a hands-on experience with iQOO devices before buying them, which is something currently not possible because iQOO has been an online-only brand since it entered India.

We could see an official announcement from iQOO regarding this on December 3 at the iQOO 13 launch event in India. The iQOO 13's Indian model will share the specs with its Chinese counterpart, except it will run Funtouch OS instead of OriginOS and pack a smaller battery (6,000 mAh vs. 6,150 mAh). It will have two color options in the Asian country - Legend and Nardo Grey.
