iQOO is working on the iQOO 10 series of smartphones for China. However, India is expected to receive a different flagship phone, which is called the iQOO 9T. A new report by GSMArena has revealed the release timeframe of the 9T.
The publication has learnt through iQOO that the iQOO 9T will be debuting by the end of this month (July) in India. The company has also confirmed that the device will be powered by Qualcomm’s most powerful mobile chip, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
Earlier this year, iQOO unveiled the iQOO 9 Pro, iQOO 9, and iQOO 9 SE. These smartphones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Snapdragon 888+, and Snapdragon 888. Hence, it appears that the upcoming iQOO 9T with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 would be a more powerful device than the iQOO 9 Pro.
The iQOO 9 Pro carries a starting price of Rs 64,990 (~$823) in India. Hence, it is likely that the iQOO 9T may arrive with a similar price tag in the country.
As mentioned above, iQOO is planning to iQOO 10 and 10 Pro smartphones in China later this month. At present, it is unclear whether the iQOO 10 or 10 Pro will be rebranded as the iQOO 9T in India. Also, there is no other information on the other specs of the iQOO 9T.
A recent report revealed that the iQOO 9T will arrive with a 6.78-inch AMOLED E5 LTPO 2.0 panel that produces a Quad HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The SD+8G1 phone is likely to arrive in 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage variants. Its battery size is not known yet, but it is said to support 120W fast charging.
