iQOO, a sub-brand of Vivo which was started to make premium high-end smartphones and is still focused on bringing gaming-focused phones to the market, is now all set to expand its portfolio of products.

The company has today confirmed through a teaser poster that it is all set to launch its first-ever true wireless earbuds in the Chinese market. The iQOO TWS Air will get launched on 20th October, along with the iQOO Neo7 series smartphones.

The teaser poster shared by the company shows the oval-shaped charging case of the upcoming TWS earbuds with the earphones inside them. The case is colored black on the outside, while it has yellow color on the inside of the case, giving it a vibrant look.

A few months ago, names of the company’s upcoming earphones were exposed, including iQOO TWS, iQOO TWS Pro, iQOO TWS Neo, and iQOO TWS Air. While the Air-named model is getting launched in the coming days, the other models are yet to go official.

Currently, nothing is known about the upcoming true wireless earbuds from iQOO in terms of features and specifications. But we won’t have to wait long to know more about the earphones, including pricing and availability details as the launch event is scheduled to take place in a couple of days in China.

Along with the iQOO TWS Air, the company will also be launching the iQOO Neo7, which will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 Plus SoC along with an independent chip for the display. It will feature a Samsung E5 display panel and come powered by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 120W ultra-fast charging.
