The iQOO 12 has already been introduced for the Chinese market, and it's scheduled to make its debut in India on December 12. 12 on 12, as it were - nice one, iQOO. Today the price for the upcoming device in India has been leaked by two usually reliable sources. They both seem to corroborate each other, saying that the iQOO 12 will start at around or under INR 55,000.
For what it's worth, a picture claimed to
show the label on the box says INR 5x,999, and 55,000 (or a tiny bit less) is
definitely in that range. Apparently, the MRP will be INR 56,999. All of these
are, of course, for the base variant - which in this case will be plenty
capable, coming with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
There will also be one with 16GB of RAM
and 512GB of storage. As always, expect to see various bank offers too, further
reducing the launch price. The iQOO 12 will ship with Android 14 out of the box
- this has been confirmed officially already. Furthermore, the device will get
three major Android updates and four years of security patches.
The iQOO 12 will have the Qualcomm
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC at the helm, a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP ultrawide, and
a 64 MP telephoto shooter. If it's identical to the Chinese model, then expect
it to have a 6.78-inch 144 Hz AMOLED screen with 3,000-nit peak brightness, a
16 MP selfie snapper, and support for 120W fast wired charging too.
