Specific country names, however, weren't revealed. Also, there's no information on how much the handset will cost in Europe and Asia.
The Q8 is said to be a mini V20 given that it sports a 5.2-inch QHD panel with a secondary display to the side of the selfie camera. And the company agrees, with its mobile unit president saying, "The Q8 gets much of its DNA from past V devices." However, they add that the phone "is designed for one-handed use and ease of portability."

Yes it is definitely evident that it gets much of its DNA from the previous V devices (V10, V20).
