The offer is only valid on iQOO India’s official website, presumably only until stocks last. While the phone’s specs may seem a bit outdated nowadays, our iQOO 3 review determined that it was a pretty competent phone back when it launched in February 2020. The last time it received such a hefty discount was during Flipkart Big Savings Day sale last month.

The iQOO 3 price in India on Flipkart still remains above Rs 30,000. The smartphone’s 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB variants are priced at Rs 34,990 and Rs 37,990 on the e-commerce marketplace, respectively. Its top-end 12GB RAM variant is out of stock on Flipkart.
