According to a Chinese tipster, who goes by the name Panda is Bald, the iQOO Neo 8 series and the iQOO Pad will launch in China on May 23rd, 2023.
The tipster has shared a bunch of alleged promotional posters for the devices, which have their launch timeline specifically mentioned at the bottom.
Though the promotional posters don’t tell us much about the design of the devices, an alleged render image of the iQOO Pad has also been leaked on Weibo.
As seen in the leaked render image, this is what the iQOO Pad will reportedly look like. The device will feature a dual rear camera setup and will have magnetic pins at the bottom (rear), which means that iQOO will likely launch a compatible folio case alongside the tablet. The front of the tablet appears to have minimal bezels all around, and the power button appears to be on the top of the device.
