Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO which makes premium gaming smartphones is all set to launch its first 5G smartphone. The company has confirmed that the iQOO Pro 5G will be launched in China at an event on 22nd August.
Now, ahead of the phone’s launch next week, the company has teased a new feature of this upcoming smartphone on its official Weibo account.
