iQoo Z9 Lite 5G will be introduced in the Indian market soon. The company has confirmed the launch date of the smartphone in the country and also revealed its design. The upcoming phone has been suggested to be a rebranded Vivo T3 Lite 5G. It will join the existing iQoo Z9 5G series models in the country, which include the iQoo Z9 5G and iQoo Z9x 5G, launched in March and May this year respectively.
iQoo Z9 Lite 5G India Launch
The iQoo Z9 Lite 5G will launch in India on July 15, the company said. iQoo India CEO Nipun Marya (@nipunmarya) confirmed the same in an X post and shared a promotional poster showing the rear panel design of the upcoming phone.

The rear panel of the iQoo Z9 Lite 5G is seen with a rectangular camera module in the upper left corner. Two camera sensors in two separate circular units are arranged vertically within the island. The LED flash unit is placed next to the camera sensors. The phone comes in a green shade with a marble-like patterned finish.
The design is also similar to the Vivo T3 Lite 5G, which was launched in India on June 27.
iQoo Z9 Lite 5G Features, Price Range (Expected)
Since the iQoo Z9 Lite 5G has previously been tipped to be a rebranded Vivo T3 Lite 5G and the design reflects the alleged similarity, it is likely that they will share similar features.
So, the upcoming iQoo phone may have a 6nm octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC, a 5,000mAh battery and an IP64-rated build. The iQoo Z9 Lite may sport a 6.56-inch 90Hz HD+ LCD display, a 50-megapixel dual rear camera unit with AI support, and an 8-megapixel selfie shooter.
The phone is said to be launched as iQoo's “first entry-level 5G phone”. Hence, it is likely to be cheaper than the iQoo Z9 Lite 5G and iQoo Z9x 5G, which are priced at Rs. 19,999 and Rs. 12,999, respectively.
Notably, the Vivo T3 Lite 5G is priced in India at Rs. 10,499 and Rs. 11,499 for the 4GB + 128GB and 6GB + 128GB variants, respectively.
