iQOO is said to be working on the iQOO 9 series of smartphones. The Chinese manufacturer announced the iQOO 8 and iQOO 8 Pro smartphones in August. Hence, it is likely that the iQOO 9 lineup may debut after a couple of months. Probably, it will be unveiled first in China by January 2022. Ahead of the launch, the iQOO 9 series of smartphones are busy bagging some certifications.
The iQOO 9 Pro’s Indian variant with model number I2022 was spotted at the IMEI database earlier this month. Now, the vanilla iQOO 9 has appeared at the IMEI database with the V2171A model number. It is not the Indian model, but a variant that will be heading to China and some other countries.
