iQoo Z9s series to launch in India on this date

The iQoo Z9s series was confirmed on Thursday for an India launch on August 21. The company has been teasing the smartphone for the past few weeks. Last week, Gadgets 360 exclusively confirmed the names of the smartphones — iQoo Z9s and iQoo Z9s Pro. Recently, the phone models were also spotted on GeekBench. While not much is known about the devices yet, previous reports have revealed some of their possible specifications. What is notable is that the iQoo Z9s is believed to be the rebranded version of the iQoo Z9 that is sold in China.

iQoo Z9s series launch date confirmed

The launch date was confirmed by iQoo CEO Nipun Marya (@nipunmarya) in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). The post was accompanied by an image touting the smartphones in a gold color scheme. The promotional image also used the tagline “Segment’s fastest curved screen phone”, which was likely referring to the refresh rate.

Earlier this month, Marya also said: plagued the design of one of the iQoo Z9s series handsets. In the post, the smartphone was seen in a white color scheme with a marble-like pattern. This color option could be called ‘Luxe Marble’, which was teased in another X after through the official name of iQoo India.

In the teaser image, the smartphone had a rectangular camera module on the top left side. The module had a silver border with rounded edges that could be made of metal. The volume rocker and the power button were seen on the right side of the device.

In an interaction with Gadgets 360 last month, Marya had said that the launch of iQoo Z9s and Z9s Pro would be a first in the brand’s history in India. This is the first time that the company is launching two devices simultaneously in the Z-series.

As per an earlier report, one of the iQoo Z9s handsets was spotted on GeekBench. The model number was noted as Vivo l2035. The phone appeared with 1,137 and 3,044 points on the single- and multi-core tests respectively. Based on the scores, it was said that the handset could be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset along with Adreno 720 GPU.
