• iQOO 12 series slated for launch around China’s Double Eleven shopping festival.
• The iQOO 12 Pro expected to feature a periscope lens and IP68 rating.
• Vivo X100 series anticipated to debut shortly after iQOO 12 series.
• Vivo X100 Pro+ to feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, expected in Q1 2024.
Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO is preparing for an imminent launch of its iQOO 12 series, if reports are to be believed.
This release is strategically timed to align with China’s major shopping event, Double Eleven, on November 11th.
However, the iQOO 12 series isn’t just making noise in China; there are rumours that the standard iQOO 12 model may also debut in India within the same timeframe.
This information comes courtesy of DigitalChatStation, who has been right on most occasions about leaks coming from China.
In terms of specifications, the iQOO 12 could flaunt a 6.7-inch E7 AMOLED display, offering a 1.5K resolution coupled with a 144Hz refresh rate.
Adding to its impressive features is a robust triple-camera setup, a 5,200mAh battery supporting up to 120W fast charging, and an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance.
The iQOO 12 Pro is expected to be quite like the iQOO 12 in many aspects but with some notable differences.
The Pro model may come equipped with a periscope lens instead of a telephoto lens, offering advanced zoom capabilities.
While it may support a slightly lower 100W fast charging, it aims to compensate with an upgraded IP68 rating for enhanced resistance against water and dust.
Furthermore, both the standard and Pro models could offer up to 24GB of RAM and a whopping 1TB of internal storage, making them some of the most robust devices in terms of memory and storage.
While iQOO aims for a potential mid-November launch, Vivo’s X100 series has other plans.
According to the speculation by DigitalChatStation, the X100 series is likely to make its appearance shortly after the iQOO 12 series launch.
The Vivo lineup is expected to consist of three models: the Vivo X100, the X100 Pro, and the X100 Pro+.
Each device seems poised to cater to different market segments, with the basic and Pro models potentially featuring Dimensity 9200 SoCs, and the premium Pro+ expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
Notably, the Pro+ model’s launch is anticipated in the first quarter of 2024, diverging significantly from the immediate launch timelines of its siblings.
