The iQOO 8 series is supposedly set to launch in India soon, with a report from 91mobiles suggesting the same. The latest iQOO 8 series range from the company is available in China as of now.
Now, the report from the publication claims that iQOO is going to bring the device to India soon, given the success of the iQOO 7 series in the country.
