The iQOO 12 series is set to make its debut in China on November 7. Additionally, the company has officially announced that the vanilla iQOO 12 5G model will be launched in India on December 12, and it will be the first phone to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. While we eagerly await the official release, the iQOO 12 has surfaced in a more hands-on preview, showcasing the phone in both Black and White colours
iQOO 12 First Look
DigitalChatStation on Weibo recently unveiled images of the vanilla iQOO 12, and it’s remarkable how closely the design aligns with the company’s official renders. The phone has a centrally located punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera, complemented by flat edges and impressively narrow bezels.
On the right edge, you’ll find the volume rocker and power button, ensuring a convenient and ergonomic layout. There is a large square module on the back of the device that houses three camera sensors, with an LED flash located just outside the module.
Notably, the back panel of the phone, especially in the Black color variant, appears to have abandoned the glass build for a different material. The overall frame of the phone features a boxy design, with subtly curved edges adding a touch of sophistication to the aesthetics.
