Pros

Human Checked Mobile Phone Pros&Cons With Quality Mark
Camera
The iQOO 12 was launched with a major focus on the camera.
The iQOO 12 has an interesting camera of flagship origin at the back.
Performance
The iQOO 12 is the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 smartphone to enter our labs.
IQOO advertises the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip as properly cooled with a large vapor chamber for excellent heat dissipation and sustained performance.
The hardware upgrades give it a distinct edge, and it is phenomenal as a gaming phone.
Design
The iQOO 12 has a modern design that makes it look a lot more elegant than its predecessors.
Display
The standard iQOO 12 has a brilliant 6.78-inch E7 AMOLED panel of 1280p resolution and dynamic 144Hz refresh rate.
Battery
The iQOO 12 packs a graphite 5,000mAh battery with an allegedly enhanced lifespan of 1,600 cycles (before reaching 80% capacity) and 120W super-fast wired charging.
