iQOO 9T is coming to India! Wait, you haven't heard of a “T series” phone in the iQOO lineup, have you? That is because this is the start of new series in iQOO's flagship series of smartphones for the country. iQOO had recently kickstarted the Neo series of smartphones with the iQOO Neo 6 and soon after that, we might be getting the “T- series” lineup of iQOO's main flagships.
