Notably, the company in its teaser images don't explicitly state that the company will be launching the iQoo 5 in India. However, it's not entirely wrong to speculate that Vivo's sub-brand would launch the iQoo 5 in India shortly after it is launched in China.

As far as the specifications are concerned, the upcoming iQoo 5 is tipped to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor that is coupled with 8GB of RAM. It is expected to get a 120Hz AMOLED display with always-on display functionality. It is also expected to get a punch-hole design along with curved edges.
