(Exclusive) iQOO will enter the offline market from December

Smartphone brand iQOO, which has been selling phones online in India since its entry in 2020, is set to enter the offline market.

According to reliable sources, the brand will enter the offline market through Vivo-exclusive stores and other retail channels. This will mean that customers will be able to experience the iQOO devices at these offline stores before purchasing. Since entering the Indian market, iQOO has been selling the phone through e-commerce platform Amazon India.

The official announcement of offline market availability will likely come at the iQOO 13 event in India next week. The availability of iQOO devices in physical stores should complement the brand’s online reach.

For iQOO fans, the brand’s omnichannel experience should enhance the overall experience where shoppers at the physical store can access the online product catalogue. At the same time, online customers can visit nearby retail stores to view iQOO devices. The brand is one of a handful of smartphone makers with a very active community, iQOO Connect, and has now hit one million members.

Notably, Vivo is completing its 10 years in India this year and is planning to open 10 flagship stores soon. We can expect these stores to have iQOO devices as well.

iQOO is launching its iQOO 13 flagship smartphone in India on December 3. The iQOO 12 successor smartphone is expected to be priced around the iQOO 12, although we’ll know for sure next week. Gadgets 360 has got the iQOO 13, and here are some camera samples to show off the camera capabilities of the upcoming smartphone.

The specifications of the iQOO 13 have already been confirmed, and you can stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for our review, which will arrive on December 3.
