iQOO has kept its promise and officially launched the iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro smartphones in the Chinese market. These devices come with a host of impressive features that are bound to capture the attention of tech enthusiasts.
Stunning Displays
Both the iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro boast expansive screens, with the former featuring a flat 1.5K OLED display equipped with 2160Hz PWM dimming. Meanwhile, the iQOO 12 Pro steps up the game with a Quad HD+ Samsung E7 AMOLED curved screen that also incorporates 1440Hz PWM dimming. Notably, these screens offer a remarkable peak brightness of up to 3000 nits and support a variable refresh rate of 144Hz, thanks to LTPO technology. Additionally, iQOO has integrated the most powerful ultra-wide vibration motor and symmetrical three-dimensional dual speakers to enhance the visual and audio experience.
Powerful Processing
Under the hood, both smartphones are powered by the formidable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 System-on-Chip (SoC). What sets them apart is the inclusion of the Q1 Self-developed chip, which brings several advanced features. This chip facilitates frame sensing technology, real-time load monitoring, precise scheduling, and core distribution, effectively matching different core types to varying gaming thread loads. Impressively, even after an hour of gaming at the ultra-high definition, the devices maintain a maximum temperature of only 40.5°C.
Furthermore, the VAPT Adaptive Mode allows users to control power consumption with ease, ensuring a stable frame rate experience. The phones are engineered with an aviation aluminum middle frame and boast the most extensive 6K ultra-large VC vapor chamber in iQOO’s history. In addition, they are equipped with 11 temperature sensors for real-time monitoring, efficient performance scheduling, and optimal heat dissipation.
Exceptional Cameras
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the camera setups on the iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro. Both models feature a 50MP 1/1.3-inch main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 64-megapixel 3x periscope telephoto camera. The phones introduce features like Handheld starry sky mode and a light-tracing main camera, with AIPD extreme night focusing technology, designed to quickly locate stars in challenging low-light environments. Notably, they employ second-generation OIS anti-shake technology, boasting a CIPA 4.5 level of stability. Thanks to multi-frame fusion algorithms and a bionic night sky algorithm, stunning nighttime shots of the sky can be captured within seconds.
Superior Battery Technology
Both phones come equipped with the innovative “Super Graphite Battery,” which incorporates negative electrode graphite reconstruction technology and multiple electrode plate cold pressing technology. This combination increases energy density and discharge capacity, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance. The iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro are powered by a substantial 5000mAh battery and support lightning-fast 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
In summary, the iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro offer a remarkable blend of cutting-edge technology, robust performance, and advanced camera capabilities. These devices are poised to make a significant impact in the smartphone market, setting new standards for mobile innovation.
