The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The iQOO 12 delivers flagship performance, a sharp 144Hz AMOLED display and versatile cameras, but battery endurance and software polish limit it.

What is good

  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and up to 16GB RAM deliver exceptional performance.
  • 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display is sharp, fluid and immersive.
  • 50MP wide, 64MP telephoto and 50MP ultrawide cameras offer versatility.

What is not

  • 5000mAh battery is a clear weakness for this performance-focused phone.
  • Android 14 software lacks the refinement expected from a flagship.
  • 198.5g weight and 8.35mm thickness make it less effortless to carry.
