iQOO could split from vivo and become a smartphone brand in its own right
Brand name iQOO according to knowledgeable online sources; could spin off from the Chinese company Vivo and become fully independent in the first half of next year.
Vivo has announced the brand iQOO in January 2019. Since then, this brand has developed dynamically, releasing smartphones with an attractive price-performance ratio. Currently, iQOO does not actually need the help of the parent company.
Thus, next year iQOO will leave Vivo and come under the direct control of the Chinese group BBK Electronics, which owns the Oppo, OnePlus, Vivo and Realme brands.
Also, according to reports, iQOO is preparing new Z5x and Neo series devices with Snapdragon 888 processor. The official presentation of these models will take place next month.
In addition, by the end of this year, Vivo itself will announce the first smartphone of the new T-Series family. It will debut in early November and will be priced between $ 310 and $ 390.
In addition, Counterpoint Technology Market Research ranks Vivo as the fifth largest smartphone supplier in the world. In the second quarter of this year, the company's share was about 10%. In addition, the company continues to grow strongly in the smartphone market both locally and globally.
