The verdict, up front

iQOO's first proper camera flagship.

iQOO 8 Pro added gimbal stabilisation and a 3.5x periscope to the line's usual speed credentials — a QHD LTPO display, 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. The point where iQOO stopped being purely about benchmarks and got serious about cameras.
