iQOO 8 key features teased ahead of launch on August 2

iQOO 8 is all set to launch on August 2 in China and some of its key features have been teased by the company in the run-up to the official unveiling. The Vivo sub-brand released the iQOO 7 and the iQOO 7 Legend in India earlier this year in April and is now preparing to launch its successor next week. There is currently no word on the launch of the iQOO 8 in India but we wouldn’t be surprised if it arrives towards the end of this year.

The company has also revealed that the upcoming iQOO 8 will feature a 2K E5 AMOLED display with LTPO technology and variable refresh rate support going up to 120Hz. This information comes via popular tipster Abhishek Yadav who posted a screenshot from the company’s Weibo handle. Having said that, the display size is yet to be revealed by the company. The iQOO 7 series has a 6.62-inch display and iQOO 8 will likely stick to that.

The iQOO 8 was also rumoured to support 160W fast charging but it was quickly dismissed. The latest leak suggests that the phone will support 120W fast charging and will be equipped with a 4,000mAh battery. It will run on Android 11 based Origin OS and will be available with 256GB storage.

iQOO has been teasing some key features of its upcoming iQOO 8 and has confirmed that it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ processor which made its debut in June with marginal improvements over the already powerful Snapdragon 888.

We will know more about the iQOO 8 as we near its launch date which is scheduled on August 2.

WhatsApp will soon allow users to move chats from iOS to Android: Report

WhatsApp has reportedly been working on adding a means for users to transfer their chat history across platforms from iOS to Android devices. This should address one of the major annoyances of the messaging app that currently allows users to seamlessly transfer their chat backup only from iOS to iOS or from Android to Android smartphones.  

WABetaInfo reveals that this chat history migration will be possible both ways - from iOS to Android and also from Android to iOS. Though the latest screenshots only depict the “move chats to Android” feature for transfer from iOS to Android.

WhatsApp is developing a feature to migrate your chats between different platforms. This video shows how chats are migrated from iOS. It's needed a cable: are new tools for PC coming or what? It'll be available for beta testers in a future update. Follow @WABetaInfo for more pic.twitter.com/Bu6xGxkpWE

— WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) July 2, 2021 How to transfer WhatsApp data from iPhone to Android?

Once live, iOS users will be able to access the feature from Settings > Chats > Move Chats to Android. They will also need to unlock their phones and keep WhatsApp open while the chat history is backed up and transferred. 

XDA Developers have found code in Google’s upcoming “Switch to Android” app for iOS that hints at the integration of this upcoming WhatsApp tool. Apple already has a “Switch to iOS” app that helps users seamlessly migrate their data from Android to an iPhone. This direct integration within Google’s tool is bound to make things simpler. 

Earlier this month, WhatsApp officially added multi-device support in beta that allows WhatsApp to work on the web and desktop without being leashed to a phone. Unfortunately, users still aren’t allowed to install and use Whatsapp on multiple phones simultaneously. 

There is no timeline for when the Move chats to Android feature will be pushed officially, but since WABetaInfo already has screenshots of the tool in action, it shouldn’t take too long.
