IQOO was founded on January 30, 2019 as a subsidiary of Chinese phone manufacturer Vivo. However, over time, the company separated from its parent organization and became completely independent. It is known as a competitor to Xiaomi even in its homeland thanks to the affordable phones it has released in recent years. The company introduced the Z5X model, which is a price-performance phone today.
