The year began with inspiration. After attending the iQOO 13 launch, the word Relentless stayed with me.That spark led to starting the year strong with Adventure with iQOO Connect in Chennai.

No device reaches users without passing through detailed and time-intensive QC processes. Every product is thoroughly tested to ensure the best quality before it reaches our hands.


The year ended with the most meaningful event of all  Quest for Kindness.
