Hey iQOO Questers! 👋

Can you believe we're already looking back at 2025? Instagram just dropped its 'Year in Review,' and honestly, my feed was absolutely exploding this year! From emotional cricket wins to our desi beats taking over global stages, we scrolled a lot.

What Kept India Hooked?

According to Instagram, 2025 was the year Indian culture truly went global!

🏏 The Cricket Fever

Finally, the chant came true! RCB lifting the trophy and "Ee Sala Cup Namdu" becoming a reality was a core memory for so many of us. But it was bittersweet too—Virat Kohli retiring from Tests had us all emotional, while the Women's Team winning the World Cup ended the year on a high!

🌍 India to the World

Did you catch Hanumankind performing at Coachella? That energy was unmatched! Plus, seeing our own Sudhanshu Shukla reach the International Space Station (first Indian in 40 years!) was a proud moment we all double-tapped.

📸 The "Vibe" Shift

Gen Z brought the nostalgia back hard. The lo-fi digi-cam aesthetic took over Reels—grainy, soft, and vintage. It's proof that you don't always need 4K; sometimes you just need the right feel (though having a flagship iQOO camera to capture those moods definitely helps 😉). 

And we can't forget the laughs—the "Prashant" (croissant) meme? Still funny.

But What About Us? The iQOO Connect Recap on Instagram!

While the world was busy scrolling through year-end trends, I got curious about our own family. So, I hopped onto the iQOO Connect Instagram page. Thanks to Instagram's new sorting feature, I could finally filter the reels by Most Viewed  - and honestly, it perfectly reflects our year in review.

Unfortunately, sorting photos isn't possible yet...but for now, let's dive into what we can see:

Here are the Top 3 Reels featured on our community's Instagram page:

1. 🏆 The CGO 2.0 Craze (1.6M Views): The hunt for our next Chief Gaming Officer absolutely broke the internet! The announcement video featuring our beloved CEO @NipunMarya  clocked a massive 1.6 Million views. It just proves that when it comes to gaming, no one does it like us. 🎮
2. ⚔️ Battlegrounds Mania (651K Views): The iQOO Battlegrounds Series announcement was right behind it. With over half a million views, it's clear that this community is always ready for e-Sports.
3. 📱 Tech Appreciation (300K Views): It's not just about gaming—we love our specs too! The collab with @JStreetS on the iQOO 15's Polarization-free natural light display pulled in 300K views. That's incredible!

The Verdict?

India loved cricket and nostalgia, but we loved gaming and innovation. It's awesome to see how we balance hardcore esports passion with genuine tech appreciation.
