The iQOO 8 global launch is one of the most anticipated smartphone events of the year, with the device set to arrive alongside the iQOO 8 Pro on August 17 packing 120W fast charging, a flat display, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus processor.
iQOO 8 Global Launch: Key Leaked Specs
Tipster Bald Panda has revealed several expected features of the standard iQOO 8. Unlike the Pro variant, the iQOO 8 will sport a flat display rather than a curved one. Under the hood, it is expected to pack Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset — the same top-tier silicon tipped for the Pro model. Powering the device is a 4,500mAh battery with support for 120W wired fast charging, one of the fastest charging speeds available on a smartphone.

iQOO 8 Pro: What the Leaks Say
The premium iQOO 8 Pro is expected to differ in display design, featuring a 6.78-inch LTPO curved screen with a punch-hole camera cutout. Like the standard model, it is also tipped to run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus processor. Both devices are expected to be offered in multiple colour options and will position themselves against flagship rivals from Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, and Oppo in the global market.
iQOO 8 Price Expectations
Neither iQOO nor its parent company Vivo has officially confirmed pricing or full specifications for the iQOO 8 or iQOO 8 Pro ahead of the August 17 announcement. Based on leaks, both handsets are expected to sit in the premium price segment. For context, iQOO's previous flagship, the iQOO 7, launched with a starting price of Rs 31,990 in India. The iQOO 7 runs Android 11, is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, and features a 6.64-inch Full HD+ display with a 1,080 x 2,400 pixel resolution. The iQOO 8 series is expected to push the price point higher given the upgraded Snapdragon 888 Plus chip and faster charging.
