The iQoo Z3 is scheduled to be launched on June 8 and that’s when we will get to know all about its specs and prices in detail. However, with just days to go, the prices of the iQoo Z3 have been tipped. The new iQoo smartphones are expected to be launched in three variants with the top-of-the-line device expected to be priced at ₹23,990. The iQoo Z3 was launched in China in March this year and is finally making its way to India now. The smartphone comes with a triple camera set-up on the back, a waterdrop-tyle display, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G SoC under the hood, and a 120Hz refresh rate.

A tipster by the name of Debayan Roy who tweets from the @Gadgetsdata handle, has shared the pricing details of the iQoo Z3 devices. According to him, the prices for the iQoo Z3 are going to start at ₹19,990 or ₹20,990 for the base model that’s going to come with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage. There is also going to be a variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage and this is expected to be priced at ₹21,990. The top-of-the-line iQoo Z3 with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, according to this tipster, should be priced at ₹23,990. With prices like these, the iQoo Z3 is going to be taking on the Xiaomi Mi 10i that’s priced from ₹20,999 onwards.

The iQoo Z3 was launched in China earlier this year at a starting price of CNY 1,699 ( ₹19,400 approx) for the 6GB/128GB variant.
