iQOO Z5 India launch date has been tipped, while the imminent launch of the iQOO 8 and 8 Pro in the country has been pushed back. The popular Chinese smartphone brand has been hard at work on a much-awaited iQOO Z3 successor dubbed, the Z5. The smartphone has already made appearances online in the form of an IMEI database listing. The phone carried model number I2018. Aside from that, the company is gearing up to unveil the iQOO 8 Pro in the country later this month.

Ahead of its imminent launch, the iQOO 8 Pro arrived on Geekbench Now, in a new development, a noted leaker has revealed that the company will not launch the iQOO 8 Pro. Instead, the well-received brand will be taking the wraps off the iQOO Z5 for the Indian market. It will succeed the iQOO Z3 5G, which made its debut earlier this year. The upcoming iQOO handset has been floating around the rumor mill and has been subject to multiple speculations. However, its IMEI database listing has shed some light on what the device has to offer.

iQOO Z5 Launch Timeline In India Tipped

According to renowned tipster Debayan Roy (@GadgetsData), the Z5 could arrive in India in September this year. Regrettably, details about the exact date are still scarce. If iQOO is actually gearing up to unveil the smartphone, the company is likely to start teasing it on various social media platforms soon. Before this, the company has already made a couple of major announcements after the iQOO 7 and the iQOO 7 Legend. The word on the street is that the company is also working on an iQOO Z5 Pro.

It is worth mentioning here that iQOO launched the iQOO 8 and 8 Pro in China in August this year. However, Roy claims that the company isn’t planning to launch the aforesaid handsets in India anytime soon. Nevertheless, both phones will launch in the country at some point in time. In other words, it is highly unlikely that the iQOO 8 series will see the light of the day this month. According to 91mobiles, the phone could arrive in India before this year comes to an end.

The iQOO Z5 Pro, on the other hand, has already appeared on TENAA carrying model number V2148A. The Z-series has never had a Pro model in the past. Details about its specifications are few and far between. However, the iQOO Z5 could offer notable upgrades over its predecessor, which came with an IPS LCD panel. The iQOO Z5 could retail for around INR 25,000 (about $340), according to a NewsBytes report.
