iQoo Z7 Pro 5G is expected to launch in India soon, according to a teaser shared by the company. Upon launch, the model will join the iQoo Z7 5G and the iQoo Z7s 5G handsets in the Chinese smartphone maker's Z7 series of smartphones. The base model was released earlier this year in March and the Z7s model was unveiled in May. The iQoo Z7 Pro is expected to be the top-of-the-line model in the series and is therefore likely to come with improved specifications and a sleeker design as compared to the existing models.

On Monday, iQoo India CEO Nipun Marya teased the design of the purported handset in a tweet. It is shown to sport a curved display, very slim side bezels and a centre-aligned hole-punch front camera cutout. The upper bezel is relatively thicker than the sides. The company is yet to confirm the launch date of the smartphone in India. Other details like key specifications or the back panel design are currently under wraps.
