Vivo has unveiled the iQOO 9 and 9 Pro as the company’s latest flagship phones for launch in India. iQOO is Vivo’s gaming-focused sub-brand. They don’t look like gamers’ phones in the same way that past iQOO phones did, but they are focused on performance nonetheless. With a tie-in collaboration with BMW M Motorsport and a white variant with three rally stripes, iQOO is promoting this in its marketing.
