Vivo's notable subsidiary, iQOO, is all set to introduce its upcoming flagship smartphones. Following the success of its predecessors, iQOO 11 and iQOO 11 Pro, the new series is anticipated to be named the iQOO 12 series. This series will feature the iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro models. With leaks and speculations in full swing, here's what we've gathered about the devices:
Recent revelations have pointed towards impressive iQOO 12 camera specifications. A prominent tipster, Digital Chat Station, took to Weibo to shed light on the camera specs of both the iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro. According to the post, both models will sport an identical triple rear camera system, ensuring uniform iQOO 12 camera sensors for users.
The camera lineup for the iQOO 12 series boasts a 50MP OV50H primary camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), accompanied by a 50MP ISOCELL JN1 wide-angle camera and a 64MP OV64GB telephoto camera. The latter will come with a 3x optical zoom feature, improving upon the 2x zoom provided in the preceding iQOO models. This enhancement promises more detailed zoomed-in photographs, a treat for both iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro users.
The iQOO 12 series is expected to be equipped with Samsung E7 AMOLED screens that boast a high 144Hz refresh rate and offer a 2K resolution, which is consistent with the previous series. These displays are likely to support HDR10+.
In terms of performance, speculations are rife that the iQOO 12 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor will power the devices. This hypothesis stems from the fact that the previous models were powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
However, the iQOO 12 Pro might turn many heads with its rumored 24GB RAM and storage capacity of up to 1TB. Such specifications echo features seen in other contemporary smartphones like the Realme GT 5 and Nubia’s RedMagic 8S Pro.
Delving into the software aspect, the iQOO 12 series is likely to run on OriginOS 4.0, which is based on iQOO 12 Android 14. Complementing its robust features, a 5,000mAh battery is expected to power the devices.
Although the exact iQOO 12 release date has not been confirmed, the buzz suggests that the iQOO 12 series might make its debut in China later this year. As for the iQOO 12 global launch date, it might be scheduled for early 2024. However, the iQOO 12 price and iQOO 12 Pro price details remain unconfirmed.
The iQOO 12 series promises to be a noteworthy addition to the smartphone market, combining state-of-the-art camera specifications with powerful internal hardware. With the anticipation building up for its release, both in China and globally, tech enthusiasts and potential buyers alike are eagerly awaiting more confirmed details about its pricing and features.
The series, especially with its advanced camera capabilities and potential high-end performance specs, is set to position itself as a competitive player in the 2024 smartphone landscape.
