Earlier this month, iQOO 8 Legend was tipped to launch in India before Diwali. The festival of lights is now only a few days away, however, the company is yet to debut the phone. Before the release of the device in the country, the same source now says that the handset will be accompanied by iQOO 8.

According to a report by 91Mobiles, iQOO will be soon launching the vanilla iQOO 8 in India alongside the iQOO 8 Legend. Previously, the publication suggested that the latter device from the brand will be unveiled before Diwali.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t appear to be the case. The exact release date of these phones is still a mystery. But they are said to make their debut sooner than later.

Having said that, the iQOO 8 Legend is expected to be the iQOO 8 Pro sold in China. On the other hand, the iQOO 8 will most likely be the same handset that’s sold in the brand’s home country.

The iQOO 8 series was announced in China in August. The main highlights of this lineup include Samsung E5 AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chipset, LPDDR5x RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, liquid VC cooling, L-shaped camera array, gimbal OIS, stereo speakers, and more.

The iQOO 8 series launched in China in August. The devices are expected to make their way to international markets as well. According to a new report, one of the models in the lineup is heading to India as early as this month.

As per a report by 91Mobiles citing industry sources, iQOO 8 Legend will launch in India by the end of October or early November.  In other words, it will go official in the country ahead of Diwali festive season.

The iQOO 8 Legend is said to be a rebranded version of the iQOO 8 Pro sold in China. That’s because the iQOO 7 Legend available in India is nothing but a rebadged iQOO 7 BMW M Motorsport Limited Edition from China.

Hence, we can expect features like a 6.78-inch Samsung E5 LTPO AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 1500 nits peak brightness, and Dolby Vision. Then, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chipset, up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, 50MP (wide, gimbal OIS) + 16MP (telephoto) + 48MP (ultra-wide) triple rear camera setup, and a 16MP front-facing camera.

Lastly, other features like an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor, 5G connectivity, WiFi 6, 4,500mAh battery, 66W charging, wireless as well as reverse wireless charging (maybe), and Android 11.

The iQOO 7 Legend debuted in India at ₹39,990. Since the iQOO 8 Legend arrives with multiple upgrades, it should be slightly costlier.
