The anticipation surrounding the iQOO 12 smartphone is about to reach a climax, with the official India launch date now confirmed for December 12.
The news comes shortly after iQOO disclosed that the phone would make its debut in China on November 7, promising to unveil all of its specs and features before the India unveiling.
Expected Pricing in India
While iQOO has been known for offering high-performing phones at affordable prices, the iQOO 12 may break this trend.
Considering the device’s advanced features, it remains to be seen if iQOO maintains the competitive pricing strategy that it has followed in the past.
iQOO 12: Expected Features
Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the iQOO 12 is already confirmed to offer high performance.
In terms of design, the handset will feature curved edges and a slim profile for better grip, much like what we’ve seen with models such as the Oppo Reno 10 Pro+.
Additionally, it will have a glass back panel in white and boast a square-shaped rear camera module as opposed to the rectangle one in previous models.
The device is confirmed to include a triple camera system on the back, with capabilities like 100x digital zoom.
Although the telephoto lens is only expected to support 3x optical zoom, according to leaks.
Based on leaked information, the iQOO 12 may come with a 2K AMOLED display with a fast 144Hz refresh rate.
It’s also rumored to include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, capable of recognizing wet or moist fingers.
Additional leaks hint at a 5,000mAh battery and a 200W fast charging support.
