A few days ago, iQOO released its new flagship series, iQOO 8 series. This series includes iQOO 8 and iQOO 8 Pro. According to reports, this new series will commence its first official sales. Today, iQOO officially announced that iQOO 8 will officially commence sales tomorrow. The starting price of this smartphone is 3799 yuan ($585) for the 8GB + 128GB version.
In the core configuration, iQOO 8 uses a 6.56-inch AMOLED full screen with a resolution of 2376 × 1080. Under the hood, this flagship smartphone comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 flagship processor. In the camera department, it uses a 48MP main camera, 13MP ultra-wide-angle, and 13MP portrait lens. In the front, there is a 16MP selfie shooter. To keep its lights on, this device packs a 4350 mAh battery that supports 120W ultra-fast flash charging.
It is worth noting that iQOO 8 achieves an excellent visual effect. Ge Lan V, product manager of iQOO, pointed out that the iQOO 8 archives very narrow bezels on three sides. This according to him is very close to the excellent visual perception of a quad-bezeless design.
In order to make the sliding experience of this flexible straight screen more refreshing, designers and structural engineers have carefully designed the curvature of the edge of the glass cover, and every time the finger is drawn from the edge, it is extremely comfortable and elegant.
