The latest report comes from popular tipster Mukul Sharma, who took to Twitter to reveal the details of the alleged iQOO 7 Legend. The tipster suggests this smartphone is the rebranded version of the iQOO 7 BMW M Motorsport edition, which was launched in China in January. The smartphone is rumored to run Snapdragon 888 chipset.

As noted, the smartphone would draw power from the Snapdragon 888 chipset paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS3.1 storage. A 4,000 mAh battery with 120W fast charging support can also be expected. The device would run Android 11 out-of-the-box with the iQOO UI on top.

The iQOO 7 Legend is also tipped to pack a triple-camera setup with a 48MP primary sensor and two 13MP shooters. There is also a 16MP selfie camera on the iQOO 7 BMW M Motorsport edition, which could come on the iQOO 7 Legend smartphone. It would include the usual connectivity options like Wi-Fi, 5G, 4G, dual SIM support, Bluetooth, Type-C port, and so on.

iQOO 7, iQOO 7 Legend Launch Details

The official launch date for the iQOO 7 and the iQOO 7 Legend haven't been disclosed yet. However, the tipster suggests the smartphone would debut this month, at least by the end of April. The iQOO 7 starts from CNY 3,798 (around Rs. 43,000). However, the company has suggested it would be less than Rs. 40,000 in India. On the other hand, the iQOO 7 Legend pricing hasn't been tipped yet but could be slightly higher than the base model.
