iQOO 8 India launch seems imminent as phone gets spotted on IMEI database | 91mobiles.com

iQOO 8 series China launch is on August 17th and the company has been teasing the phone’s features on their social media handles. Now, ahead of the announcement, the iQOO 8 has been spotted on the IMEI database (via tipster Mukul Sharma), suggesting the flagship will indeed launch in the country soon. We can speculate the series may debut in India soon after their launch in the home soil, China. The iQOO 8 series will succeed the iQOO 7 lineup and considering the latter have been well received in India, it only makes sense for the brand to bring the successor quickly.
