Reportedly, both the iQOO 12 and 12 Pro are said to feature a 6.78-inch E7 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The standard model is expected to have a flat display with a 1.5K resolution and an optical in-screen fingerprint sensor, while the Pro variant will sport a curved-edge screen with a 2K resolution and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.
The iQOO 12 and 12 Pro are expected to offer up to 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The lineup will ship with the OriginOS 4.0-based Android 14. The standard model may come equipped with a 5,200mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging, while the Pro model may offer a larger 5,400mAh battery with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging capabilities.
In terms of photography, both models are anticipated to have a 16-megapixel front camera. The standard model might come with a triple camera setup featuring a 50-megapixel (OV50H) + 50-megapixel (JN1, ultra-wide) + 64-megapixel (telephoto) configuration. Meanwhile, the Pro model is likely to have the same main camera and ultra-wide sensor but could feature a periscope zoom camera instead of a telephoto lens.
The iQOO 12 may feature an IP64-certified chassis, while the Pro model could come with an IP68 rating. Both models are expected to come in white and black variants featuring a glass back. The iQOO 12 series will have a red variant equipped with a leather-textured rear panel.
The iQOO 12 will also release globally with India probably being the first market to receive. On the other hand, the 12 Pro is likely to remain confined to the Chinese market.
