It's not even been a year and they already launched a successor to their "FLAGSHIP" phone! I hate such companies!

It's a 48mp sensor. They often have slightly incorrect specs shortly after launch (e.g. the magic 3 pro is also incorrect). They might fix it sometime later

Is it now a trend for smartphone brands to give flat screen for vanilla variants and curved screen for Pro or higher variants? Even Google is doing it with the upcoming Pixel 6 lineup.
Vishal J, 18 Aug 2021The gimbal stabilization is only for the Pro model, the 8 dosen't have any stabilisation 🤷🏻Pretty sure the regular model does have their gimbal stabilization though for the main sensor though. It's stated on their official Chinese website (officially translates to micro-head panel stabilisation but that is what English language sites are calling gimbal stabilisation as far as I know). This is in theory at least an upgrade from the iqoo 7 which had regular OIS on the main sensor. The main sensor is still the same imx598. The pro model has a much better main sensor though a 50mp imx766v.
My favourite phone😍😍😍
Aierlan, 18 Aug 2021Has their gimbal type stabilisation which is basically an enhanced form of OISThe gimbal stabilization is only for the Pro model, the 8 dosen't have any stabilisation 🤷🏻
Ales the "parent" company's flagships look incredibly poor, I really don't understand the logic here.
Anonymous, 18 Aug 2021Did you not read the bit about Gimbal and freeform lens on the cameras? These are not minor changes.Not the one who made that comment but I believe the Gimbal and free form lens are exclusive to the Pro version "...The main shooter gets 5-axis gimbal stabilization just like on recent vivo X-series flagships..." with 50mp main camera "...we find a 50MP Sony IMX 766 with 23mm equivalent 7P freeform lens which is the same sensor found in the Oppo Find X3 Pro and OnePlus Nord 2..." and no mention of either on the vanilla iQOO 8 with 48mp main camera "...The sensors on the vanilla iQOO 8 are less impressive with a 48MP Sony IMX598 primary module next to a 13MP ultrawide snapper and 13MP portrait cam."
Will be available in India ?
But i think . one plus is better
kunal0161, 17 Aug 2021So IQOO 8 is basically a IQOO 7 with very minor changesDid you not read the bit about Gimbal and freeform lens on the cameras? These are not minor changes.
Anonymous, 17 Aug 2021Who else is afraid of 120W charging? 😢😢😢 30-50W is okay. I'm not running awayThat's like beings afraid of higher clock speeds in new CPUs
Needs
Missing 16gb RAM
Anonymous, 17 Aug 2021Good phone but Mix 4 is better for the same price Similar all round apart from the screens. The Iqoo8 pro has a way better screen but the mix 4 has no notch. You also only get 128gb of storage on the mix4 for the same price as 256gb on the Iqoo8 pro
Vishal J, 17 Aug 2021No OIS of any kind on the IQOO 8 - that's a bummer. Also, No Origin OS outside of China. Sad!Has their gimbal type stabilisation which is basically an enhanced form of OIS
Tiramisu, 17 Aug 2021Yes but at this price how come there is no ip rating and wireless charging because all other p... moreIt has wireless charging bruh. Read carefully, are you an Vivo Hater?
kunal0161, 17 Aug 2021So IQOO 8 is basically a IQOO 7 with very minor changesYeah, it's basically its predecessor with only a 350 mAh increase in battery.
Good phone but Mix 4 is better for the same price
