Vivo’s newly minted sub-brand iQOO which will focus on offering flagship features in an affordable package has teased the launch of their first product. Under the iQOO sub-brand, Vivo is expected to unveil a gaming smartphone with buffed up specifications. The company has released a teaser image of the phone in question and we now know a bit about what’s coming from iQOO.

According to the teaser image, the upcoming iQOO gaming smartphone will be powered by top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset and will be backed by 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage.

There's also rumours of a triple camera setup on the back, but it remains to be seen which sensors the phone utilities.

Additionally, it is expected that the phone will have a premium build comprising of either metal unibody or glass. We will know more as the launch date nears and whether or not the phone will make its way to India.
