Delhi : In the upcoming months, iQoo 12 may be released in India, per information provided by a tipster. The next flagship phone from the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is anticipated to come with Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which is anticipated to be presented at the company's annual Snapdragon Summit 2023 in the coming days. The phone's features and other details are still being kept under wraps, and the firm has not yet made an official announcement about its intentions to launch the iQoo 11 5G's replacement in India.

The iQoo 12 will be the first smartphone in India to launch with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU. Throughout the upcoming year, flagship smartphones from Xiaomi, OnePlus, Samsung, and other smartphone manufacturers are anticipated to run on Qualcomm's top-tier processor.

The rumored iQoo 12 will be released in India "by November end or in December". According to this scenario, iQoo, which debuted the iQoo 11 5G with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC earlier this year in India, may once more be the first to release a smartphone using Qualcomm's flagship CPU.

The 6.78-inch 2K E6 AMOLED display on the iQoo 11 5G has a refresh rate of 144 Hz and a maximum brightness of 1,800 nits. Android 13 came preinstalled on the device when it was first released. It has three cameras on its back: an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera, a 13-megapixel telephoto/portrait camera, and a 50-megapixel main camera. The phone's selfie camera is 16 megapixels.

The iQoo 11 5G, designed for gamers, has a vapour chamber cooling mechanism that is said to lower heat during prolonged gaming sessions. According to the manufacturer, the phone has a 5,000mAh battery that supports 120W FlashCharge and can charge it to 50% capacity in eight minutes.
