Almost three months after the initial launch, the special edition “Volcano Orange” iQoo 3 will be available in India starting June 11.

The iQoo 3 Volcano Orange will be a limited edition device and will be available on Flipkart and iQoo’sofficial website for a price of Rs 37,990. Previously, the iQoo 3 was available in Quantum Silver and Tornado Black colour variants. 

The iQoo 3 is the cheapest smartphone in India powered by Snapdragon 865 chipset. The device comes in three variants and only the top-end variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage supports 5G, while the other two variants are 4G devices. This is one of the reasons why the smartphone is cheaper compared to the competition.
