Both iQoo 9 and iQoo 9 Pro are equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, but a tipster claims that the smartphones will launch with modified specifications in India.

According to Brar, both smartphones will also come with different specifications in India. The company recently confirmed that both smartphones would launch in India, but is yet to specify an official launch date.

While iQoo is yet to reveal the official specifications of both smartphones in India, the company recently created a microsite for iQoo 9 and iQoo 9 Pro, where it has revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and a 4,700mAh battery will be available in the iQoo 9 Pro.
