To sweeten the deal, iQOO is also rolling out launch offers, allowing users to save additional money through credit card promotions or device exchanges. This strategy reflects iQOO's aim to cater to the cost-conscious consumer base.
Adjacent to the smartphone announcements, iQOO has also unveiled its first foray in the audio market with the TWS 1e earbuds. Priced at ₹1,899, these earbuds aim to deliver quality sound for listeners.
Equipped with Active Noise Cancellation, the TWS 1e earbuds can filter out background noise effectively by reducing it by up to 30dB. This makes them ideal for commuters or those needing quiet during workouts or phone calls.
With Bluetooth 5.3 compatibility, users can expect solid connectivity and control over their audio experience. Fast charging capabilities allow for three hours of playback from just ten minutes of charging, making them convenient for users on the go.
Each of these devices marks iQOO’s commitment to providing high-performance technology at more accessible price points. The latest offerings from iQOO, including the Z9s and Z9s Pro, signal its dedication to capturing the mid-range smartphone market's attention.
