iQOO 8 series launch in India likely cancelled
As per tipster Debayan Roy on Twitter, the iQOO 8 series India launch has been cancelled. The source has not provided us with any reason behind the cancellation, so we cannot really say for sure what the reason could be. Our best guess could be the ongoing global chipset shortage, which has affected a lot of industries, including the smartphone sector. This leaves fans of the brand waiting for the upcoming iQOO 9 series of smartphones. The iQOO 9 lineup, in any case, is not too far away from now. As a matter of fact, if previous reports are to be believed, the iQOO 9 series launch in India is set for January 2022.
We should also point out that this latest tip is not yet confirmed as the brand has not given any signs of the iQOO 8 series being cancelled for India (though the brand has not given any signs of a launch either). So, we would suggest our readers take things with a slight pinch of salt till the time things become officially clear. In case you are curious to learn more about the iQOO 8 and the iQOO 8 Pro, you can head to our previous coverage for the same.
