Gizchina News of the week
iQOO could split from vivo and become a smartphone brand in its own right
The iQOO brand, according to knowledgeable network sources; may separate from the Chinese company Vivo and become fully independent in the first half of next year.
Vivo announced the iQOO brand in January 2019. Since then, this brand has developed dynamically, releasing smartphones with an attractive performance-to-price ratio. At present, iQOO does not, in fact, need help from the parent company.
Therefore, next year iQOO will leave Vivo and will be directly under the control of the Chinese group BBK Electronics that owns the trademarks Oppo, OnePlus, Vivo and Realme.
Also, according to reports, iQOO is preparing new Z5x and Neo series devices with a Snapdragon 888 processor. The official presentation of these models will take place next month.
In addition, Vivo itself will announce the first smartphone of the new T-Series family by the end of this year. It will debut in early November and will cost between $ 310 and $ 390.
