The [iQOO 8 and the iQOO 8 Pro](https://technosports.co.in/?s=iQOO) flagship devices are set to launch officially on the 17th of August in China. At present, there are no words on the other markets that will receive the iQOO 8 duo. A tipster has spotted the alleged Indian variant at the IMEI database.

The IMEI database has a new iQOO phone with the I2019 model number. The listing reveals that this model number belongs to the iQOO 8. While the iQOO 8 is more likely to make it to the Indian market in the near future, there is no exact word regarding the introduction of the iQOO 8 Pro in the market.
