iQOO 8 Legend could launch in India soon as a rebranded version of the iQOO 8 Pro, which was launched in China recently. The Chinese smartphone brand introduced the iQOO 8 and iQOO 8 Pro in the Chinese market back in August. The phones succeeded the company’s well-received iQOO 7 and 7 Pro smartphones. Last month, a report suggested that the iQOO 8 and 8 Pro smartphones’ India launch date has been postponed. However, the iQOO Z5 went official in the country.
Now, it appears that iQOO is gearing up to bring the iQOO 8 Legend smartphone into the Indian market. Industry sources have confirmed this to 91mobiles. It is worth mentioning here that iQOO is still mum on the exact India launch date of the iQOO 8 Legend. To recall, the iQOO 7 Legend was a rebranded version of the iQOO 7 Pro. So, MySmartPrice suggests that the iQOO 8 Pro could make its debut in India carrying the iQOO 8 Legend moniker.
iQOO 8 Legend Launch in India
According to the industry sources cited by 91mobiles, the iQOO 8 Legend will launch in India either later this month or in November during the festive season. It is worth noting that iQOO has still not announced a phone with the Legend moniker. The iQOO 8 India variant has already appeared on the IMEI database. In other words, details about the phone’s exact launch date could be revealed soon.
