iQOO 12
iQOO's late-2023 flagship, launched in China in November 2023 at CNY 3,999 and in India in December 2023 at Rs 52,999, so it is now nearly three years old. It pairs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a 6.78-inch 144Hz LTPO AMOLED display, a 5,000mAh battery with 120W charging and three rear cameras including a 3x periscope telephoto.
Pros
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, backed by iQOO's Q1 gaming chip
- 6.78-inch 2800x1260 LTPO AMOLED with up to 144Hz and 3,000-nit local peak brightness; over 1,400 nits measured with auto brightness in review testing
- 5,000mAh battery with 120W wired charging: a full charge took 26 minutes and the Active Use Score was 13.5 hours in review testing
- 50MP 1/1.3-inch main camera with OIS, 50MP ultra-wide and a 64MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom
- Launched with three Android upgrades and four years of security patches; iQOO India later extended this to four and five years
Cons
- IP64 rating covers dust and splashes only, with no protection against immersion
- No wireless charging and no 3.5mm headphone jack; the USB-C port is USB 2.0
- In review testing 144Hz appeared only in games and benchmarks, not across the interface
